The Factories of the Future Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative aims at helping EU manufacturing enterprises, in particular SMEs, to adapt to global competitive pressures by developing the necessary key enabling technologies across a broad range of sectors. Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) are one answer for spreading research results and know-how to SMEs in regions all around Europe. SeAMK and TTY have prepared the business plan for IoT-Compass Hub focused in digital manufacturing and industrial internet by I4MS-support. It is the only hub in Finland in this technology area at the moment and it is active in South-Ostrobothnia region.
The mission of IoT-Compass Hub is to support the exploitation of IoT, CPS and Digital manufacturing in SMEs and MidCaps to increase their productivity and competitiveness and to gain economic benefit in the region.
The need for the project is based on the results from workshops held during the business plan preparation phase:
- companies are concerned of the availability of experts in digital manufacturing and industrial internet in the future
- there are a lot of technologies available, but companies need realistic pilots on which they can base their evaluation of their applicability of their production and products
- a growing number of companies are aware that they should start the development work but don’t know where to start.
The vision of the hub is to
- form a demonstration, piloting and development environment for manufacturing industries using the existing IoT and Cyber Physical Factory – infrastructures,
- develop activities for supporting the SMEs and MidCaps in creating their know-how and getting new talents
- form a networking community and neutral forum where manufacturing companies, technology providers, universities, RTOs and expert service providers can meet and start new activities.
The project will produce
- Digital Factory Academy concept
- model a tool to measure the maturity level of digitalization capabilities of manufacturing SMEs and MidCaps
- reports of development projects in SMEs and MidCaps
Valmistavan teollisuuden pk-yritykset Etelä-Pohjanmaalla
Kolmena ryhmänä:
- digitaalista valmistusta tai teollista internetiä jo soveltavat / soveltamista aloittavat pk-yritykset sekä
- pk-yritykset, jotka tarvitsevat aktivointitoimia
- IT-yritykset ja teknologioiden ja palvelujen tarjoajat, sillä verkostojen rakentaminen näiden ja pk-teollisuuden välille on tärkeää.
Välillisiä kohderyhmiä
- veturiyritykset, joilla on alihankkijoita alueella

The project was carried out as a joint project between Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences and the University of Tampere.
The main objective of the project was to initiate the operation of the IOT-Compass Hub, as well as determine the conditions for the continuation.
The sub-objectives were:
- develop a Digital Factory Academy action model to ensure the availability of the talent required by companies
- activate businesses for digital manufacturing and industrial internet development through high-speed pilots and using benchmarking
- network companies providing SME, IT and technologies for cooperation
- contribute to the rise in productivity through the use of digital manufacturing and industrial internet technologies
- promote the emergence of new digital business concepts that add value to the customer
- launch international projects cooperation between hubs and the ERNACT network
Work Package 1: Development of Digital Factory Academy
Workpoints were built at the Academy, computers were acquired, as well as the necessary software. In the same context, the VR laboratory was integrated into the connection of the Industrial Internet Laboratory. A training model for the academy was also developed.
These measures aim to ensure access to competencies for undertaking digitalisation projects and also a quality testing and development environment for the needs of enterprises.
Work Package 2: Fast IoT Pilots and Benchmarking
Six pilots were carried out in the workshop package:
-Data visualization
-Virtual deployment
-Data collection from the simulation model to the cloud
-HEEDS AI Application
-Create wireless sensors using ESP8622 and ESP 32 based microcontrollers
-Using Machine Learning in Visual Quality Observation
Through the pilots, knowledge of the technologies used was acquired in such a way that in the future will be able to meet the necessary pilotions for companies on a fast schedule.
Work Package 3: Mentoring SME Development Steps
The work package has resulted in the creation of a manufacturing company's digital maturity tool. The digital maturity tool was used in the target companies involved in the project, the tool proved to be very good and effective.
A total of nine pieces were acclimated to the target companies involved in the project to digitalisation.
Work package 4: SME activation activities and communication
Work Package 4 in connection with the development of the IoT-Compass Hub ecosystem for the manufacturing industry. An ecosystem is a network-like approach that enables companies to find reliable partners to implement their own digitalization projects.
Companies were activated by organising four workshops:
-Vision Innovation Day Workshop
-Innovation Tour 19
-Product Strategy
-Digital Breakdown
In addition, the project was presented at a number of different events and negotiations between the companies.
The IoT-Compass Hub ecosystem remains in operation and continues to grow it. The Digital Factory training model is involved in teaching and the Digital Factory's physical laboratory facilities and hardware will be available to students and businesses in the future as well. The Digital maturity Tool will also be used in the future to determine the digital capabilities of companies.
Two new international projects were launched during this project:
-DEVISE, the Interreg Europa project to increase the number of digital technology SMEs serving the industry in the region (automation, IT, consultancy, etc.), and also to develop measures to help the cooperation of companies. Twelve partners are involved in the project.
-INNOCAPE, the Interreg Baltic Sea Region project to develop cooperation, common policies and tools for DIHs in the Baltic Sea Region and support the specialization of hubs. 11 partners are involved in the project.
