Description
The Smart manufacturing DIH serves manufacturing industries in digitalization and co-creation. The focus is on boosting renewal and innovations in Finnish machine and manufacturing sectors incl. microelectronics. Examples of activities are e.g. cutting edge research services with access to European networks; co-creation and ecosystem building for companies; testing and piloting of solutions for SME`s; small series fabrication for microelectronics. Services are offered by key partners SMACC (Smart Machines and Manufacturing Competence Centre), Micronova and DIMECC (Digital, Internet, Materials & Engineering Co-Creation). However, the ecosystem is open and new partners are joining.
Älykkään valmistuksen innovaatiokeskittymä palvelee valmistavaa teollisuutta digitalisaation hyödyntämisessä ja kehittämisessä. Kohteena on erityisesti koneteollisuus sekä valmistava teollisuus mukaan lukien mikroelektroniikan valmistus. Keskittymä tuottaa yritysten käyttöön nopeita ratkaisuja ja kokeiluja, monipuolista huippuosaamista sekä ekosysteemien ja ohjelmien aktivointia innovaatioiden synnyttämiseksi. Palveluja tarjoavat ydinpartnerit SMACC, Micronova ja DIMECC.
