74% of Digital Projects Fail to Scale. Permanent pilot mode is not a business model.

A pilot can show that an idea works. The next step needs a suitable architecture, clear responsibilities and a route into daily operations. We work through that step with you.

McKinsey reported in 2021 that, in late 2020, 74% of manufacturing survey respondents faced challenges moving Industry 4.0 beyond the pilot stage.

  • We ask the awkward questions too.

    What problem are you solving? How will you assess value? Who decides? And who will actually use the solution? We work through these questions before the project becomes tied to a particular technology.

  • Your existing operation is part of the solution.

    Older machines, different manufacturers and systems built up over time are part of your factory. We include them in the architecture and assess interfaces, access and data quality. The next investment has to fit this environment.

  • We help close the gaps in responsibility.

    Production, IT and suppliers have different roles and perspectives. We bring requirements together, identify outstanding decisions and take on the agreed project or interim responsibility. This includes raising obstacles early.

  • We consider the second factory while working on the first.

    Data models, interfaces and operating responsibilities affect the effort needed for the next connection. We address these questions during design and assess what can be reused and where local differences matter.

  • Experience on both sides of the table.

    Our work combines industrial practice with experience in software, IT services and leadership. This helps when assessing proposals and when coordinating management and technical teams.

“With their support, we moved from disconnected systems to a real-time data flow across multiple sites. The difference: this time, we actually implemented”
