Digitalization & New Technologies

Assets, fleets and process integration provides far-reaching advantages. For instance, employees get a better situational awareness with modern HMIs, integrated fleet portals for industrial vehicles improve production flows, and globally uniform processes become possible.

Industrial companies around the world look for solutions to optimize business performance, increase productivity, and improve the user experience. But everywhere, there is a huge obstacle: heterogeneous equipment. Why is that a problem, and how to overcome it?

Optimal application performance is an important aspect in the daily work of Etteplan’s developers. Sometimes, aiming at perfection becomes a real exploration of programming languages, their libraries, communications, and protocols. One such instance has occurred for Solutions Architect Ville Kärkkäinen and his team who are developing a solution for electric car charging stations.

As the world is getting increasingly complex with products controlled by a variety of software implementations, testing methods need to keep pace.

Etteplan uses AUTOSAR to help customers bring sense and order to automotive systems which are constantly increasing in complexity.

Consumers have a strong preference for app and mobile shopping. This year, new regulation led to an increase in cart abandonment in the payment phase. Delegated authentication can help you to fix the customer experience and regain lost sales.

According to research, a student’s attention span when attending a lecture is around 10 to 15 minutes before concentration starts to wane. In our increasingly impatient reality, some even say that peoples’ attention cannot hold more than eight seconds.­­­­­ The world of nuclear waste management stands in strong contrast with these views. Here, the perspective is in hundreds of thousands, even millions, of years. The waste must be kept secure so that it will not contaminate the environment while it is still radioactive. And this will take a long time.

When a machine has to be repaired, installed, or operated, professionals need technical information. But in many cases, it takes too much time and effort to find the right content for getting things done. In addition, the content is far from user-friendly. People feel frustrated, and companies suffer from low productivity. How can digital online content provide great relief?

Written by Janne Mankinen  Ever since it was released, Google’s Flutter has been one of the most hyped cross-platform software development kits for developing mobile apps. It challenges Facebook’s React Native in almost all areas. Despite being a relative newcomer, Flutter has confirmed its place as a potential programming framework in a modern mobile development toolkit. The original version of Flutter was released in May 2017.  I have an extensive background in programming, and I specialize in mobile app development, so testing out Flutter has been on my mind for a while now. I decided to approach Flutter through state management, as this is one of the most important areas of developing more complex applications, and it gives an idea of the tool’s diversity.
