The Industrial Internet combines:
•smart & embedded devices & systems
•data collection and analysis
•business processes and people at work
This enables completely new business models
and competitive services to fulfill customer needs.

The drivers behind the Industrial Internet are:
increased computing power – especially in
embedded devices, increased network speed,
availability of small, durable and accurate
sensors and considerably lower cost of all these
factors. Wider user acceptance, know-how and
need to streamline business processes boost the

Case Konecranes:
remote monitoring with
sensors
Case Wärtsilä: service
concept based on
condition based
maintenance
Case Enevo: waste
removal optimisation
Case Eniram: optimised
ship operation with data
analysis
Finland still slow in industrial ICT
utilisation – speed from EU Horizon
2020, ECSEL JU, ITEA3 and US &
Germany cooperation
Big data & data analysis – more
service providers and resources
needed
Cooperation of ICT companies and
other industies must be made
easier and more attractive.

9. Need: Connections between sensors and
cloud services are not always reliable in
modern wireless systems.
Approach: Wirepas’ unique software platform
requires no infrastructure like routers for its
network. Software is integrated directly to the
radiochip which forms a network on its own.
Tekes has funded the company’s R&D and
internationalisation.
Wirepas Ltd:
Cooperation between
wireless devices
anytime anywhere

Benefit: Rival solutions require either a
mobile or Bluetooth connection. Wirepas
enables wireless network anywhere as long
as there is somekind of IP connection
available.
Competition: Wirepas is the market leader
in wireless electricity usage readers in
Scandinavia. The company aims to be the
global leader in wireless IoT solutions in
2020. Team Finland helps e.g. in entering
new markets like Brasil.

Idea: Mevea, born 2005 in the department of
Mechanical Engineering in the Lappeenranta
University of Technology, plans and designs
simulation technology for industry. Mevea’s
customers design e.g. cranes, forest machines,
mining equipment and earthmovers – using
simulation in the design work.
Impact: Mevea’s customers include Konecranes,
Cargotec, Normet and Wärtsilä. The growth in the
future will come from the international markets,
e.g. from the German-speaking Europe.
Big machines –
simulated
Tekes has funded Mevea’s research
and product development. Currently
Mevea develops foundation for new
simulator applications in Tekes’
Industrial Internet programme.

11. Idea: Develop a service concept for waste
handling, based on wireless sensors. This
enables reducing emissions and cost
savings.
Impact: Enevo is ready to take a growth
leap to the international markets. The
technology may revolutionize the waste
handling globally and reduce costs by 30%.
Enevo brings
intelligence to waste
handling and
reduces costs
Co-operation with Tekes has been
