The Sweden Industrial Digitalisation Consortium kindly invites you to our upcoming workshop, Built to Last: Making Industrial Digitalisation Work.

Background
Digitalisation and AI are important areas for achieving energy efficiency and deep decarbonisation in industry.
The Swedish contribution to the international networking in Task XVIII – Digitalization, Artificial Intelligence and Related Technologies for Energy Efficiency and GHG Emissions Reduction in Industry is performed through the Sweden Consortium for Industrial Digitalisation, initiated by the Swedish Energy Agency, and operated by RISE. It also serves as a national networking community.

The current focus areas for collaboration and networking, in both the international and the Swedish organisations, are:

• Innovative AI methods for industrial energy systems
• Metrics for a comparable, standardised assessment of AI applications
• Sustaining AI methods integration in Digital Twins – systems perspective
• Techno-social Consideration of AI and Digitalisation in Digital Twins
• Technology roadmap for further development of AI approaches.

Aim

This workshop will explore prerequisites for successful AI and Digital Twin integration strategies, focusing on the alignment of technical and business requirements, resource utilisation, and long-term scalability.

We will share the results of the previous workshops in this series, and will discuss cross-functional collaboration, post-implementation, long-term business impacts, and tacit knowledge transfer.
