Digitalization, Robotization, Automation, Networking = Industry 4.0?

We've been looking into the future of the upcoming or emerging industrial revolution. Germans have dubbed IoT to Industry 4.0 and defining the 4.0 as the symbol of a revolutionary change that is taking place in eg the mechanical wood working industry.

New intelligent business possibilities in the mining industry

We’re living in Sotkamo since August 1, 2010 after years and years almost all over the globe and looking for new opportunities in the field of mining, energy and environmental business operations.

The idea is to use the benefits of social media, open data, social engineering, 5T / 5D, microjobs, biotechnology, intelligent sensors, process automation, open collaboration, group sourcing and collaborative intelligence to find new global business opportunities.

This is a small world and with intelligent use of specialized network operations we’ve the possibility to reach out and build bout business intelligence and customer relationships all over the globe with low cost and great accuracy. We can also support B2B operations of specialized task forces looking for F2F negotiations.

• We can work it out with both mobile and desktop tools. 
• My brother lives in Sydney, Australia and he is familiar with the global mining industry.
• The open data community has new ideas and methods for open biz developments.

Knowledge is still Power

We’re not going to say hello to the “Knowledge Economy” even though some people think that even the era of “Creative Economy” is over.

Problem is, you can’t command people to be enthusiastic, creative and passionate.

What matters today is how fast a company can generate new insights and build new knowledge—of the sort that enhances customer value.

Simple things like taking care of your oil burner can’t be solved by creativity but down to earth practical knowledge helps you to change some vital parts according to schedule. But how many things are there in our households that don’t get the attention required.

Computer programs are updated continuously but mechanical gadgets don’t speak or tell us what to do. Nobody reads user or service manuals, and as a result a lot of vital maintenance never takes place at time.

Learning by doing is still a valid learning model. This holiday season has been a crash course in basic plumbing techniques. How to keep the water lines from not icing while being away will save money and time in the future.
