Customer experiences
From wood to far
The office of Elam Oy, which manufactures coating boards is covered with various wood veneer patterns up to the ceiling. The company was part of the pilot group of the WIMMA project, where the participants’ digital marketing was developed for a half year with the help of experts from Louhos Digital.
From an electronic game to a boost for business
Vision Factory specializes in business development of companies using games. The piloting and visual design of the electronic version of InnoBoost was developed as part of the WIMMA project. The game was modified into an electronic form based on the needs of the customers and together with stakeholders.
Terminator from Järvenpää
Finemal from Järvenpää focuses on enamel coating of steel products. When lifting metal objects, the hands rise above a 90-degree angle, which strains the shoulders. Through the WIMMA project, the company received an external support backbone, or exoskeleton for a month-long testing.
Two hard pilots
Fincoat Oy from Riihimäki makes hard coatings for various industries. The company had a problem: it was difficult to send accurate information from sales trips to the office for calculating offers. A customer visit abroad was approaching, and before that a solution had to be found to improve communication.
The Cobot in action
At Ritema Oy in Riihimäki, we thought about whether it is worth investing in robotics, because the batch sizes are small. The WIMMA project brought a collaboration robot, or cobot to the company for testing. What were entrepreneur Erja Eiro’s experiences with the pilot?
From cobot more power to production
When the machinist-programmer Tero Palmio of the mechanical workshop Levyx Oy leaves work, the UR10e cobot, or collaboration robot, starts another shift. The robot works non-stop as long as there are enough blanks. The next morning, work is continued following the robot, which means one more shift in productivity.
