It’s a wrap! 🎉 We just finished our Global Innovation Challenge 2024 with a bang in Amsterdam. This year's theme ‘Innovation Validation,” emphasized the importance of ensuring our innovations address real customer problems. Our process begins with a simple yet powerful idea, often sparked by customer interactions, technological shifts, or new material developments. This begins a process of diligent experimentation and discovery, refining our solutions to meet real-world demands. During the Challenge, 8 teams participated in a four-week Validation Sprint, connecting with customers to test their assumptions and refine their value propositions. The event was a dynamic blend of innovation, collaboration, and deep learning from customer feedback. 🌍 At ERIKS, we believe that innovation is more than just a buzzword – it’s our way of ensuring a sustainable and efficient future. We invite our customers and suppliers to join us early in the process, as we believe in the power of collaboration to drive meaningful change. Let’s Make Industry Work Better. #Innovation #Sustainability #GlobalInnovationChallenge #ERIKS #LetsMakeIndustryWorkBetter

Designing digital transformation solutions for customers requires a holistic approach. Addressing customer network and data challenges in a way that supports their present and future needs starts by obtaining a 360-degree view of their infrastructure and their strategy. It’s important to understand the big picture. After that, the process of designing solutions that work well for them—sourced from industry experts and a powerful partner ecosystem—can go forward. This approach ensures that customer outcomes align perfectly with their expectations. Plus, it manages risk by safeguarding networks and data, while effectively resolving any bumps in the road.

2nd day of the Rethink! Smart Manufacturing 2024 in Berlin. I had yesterday some interesting client meeting with my college Dr.-Ing. Tobias Harland. Main discussion point was the major challenges of manufacturers in 2024. Here is my analysis: 1. Scaling the digital transformation becomes more important. Solutions have to be rolled out globally in an easy way and avoid local solutions. 2. Existing IT architectures with on-prem solutions and bad connectivity between the system are not future proven. Many companies work on a future proven solution. 3. Organizational and cultural challenges are addressed more. It’s recognized that most projects do not fail due to technology but regards the implementation process or the acceptance Onward Partners is offering solutions on these three challenges. Let’s start a discussion if you see these challenges also

Embrace the Evolution 🚀 Ideas often shift and evolve, and by launch time, they can look quite different from where they started. Our business has naturally taken on a more data-driven approach—it wasn’t intentional; it just evolved that way. We’ve become more software-focused than ever before. These days, conversations about automation, digitization, supply chains, data, and other topics we never imagined are becoming the norm. It’s exciting to see how much we’ve grown, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next!
