7. Industrialising printed intelligence:
TactoTek spin-off
• Injection molded structural electronics
• Thin, elegant 3D contours
• Less weight, no assembly
• Ready for mass production

8. We help SME’s to adopt robotics
• EU portfolio of 30 M€ in factory
robotics
• 20–50% of funds allocated to small
and medium-sized enterprises
• Example: Reduced setup cost and
time of mobile robots by a factor of 10

9. Boosting production with
factory automation
Redesign of welded ball valve production
• Reduction of lead time by 95% and manufacturing
costs by 75%
• Saving jobs and factory in Finland
-95%
-75%
+45%
Special robot for installation
• Accuracy of the task increased by 45%
• Saving in the specific task time by 68%

10. Case: PULP MILL optimisation
Savings of 700 truck loads
A real time pulp
quality control
Yearly saving of
~ 700 truck load
