Joint Finnish-Swedish Arrowhead fPVN Project Technical Meeting Held at New Stora Enso Headquarters

The Arrowhead fPVN project recently reached an important milestone with a full-day technical meeting at the brand-new Stora Enso headquarters. As the project enters its second year, with two more years ahead, the focus of the meeting was to refine the IT/OT architecture and ensure that it effectively addresses the challenges posed by the two Stora Enso use cases.

Addressing IT/OT Architecture Challenges

A key agenda item for the meeting was the alignment of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) architectures. As industries increasingly adopt digital transformation, the integration of IT and OT systems is critical for ensuring efficiency, scalability, and security. The discussion centered on how the proposed architecture should be designed to meet real-world industrial challenges and enhance interoperability within the Stora Enso use cases.

Exploitation Potential and Future Outlook

Another noteworthy outcome of the meeting was the identification of seven potential exploitations emerging from the project’s developments. These exploitation pathways highlight the project’s commercial, industrial, and technological relevance. Encouragingly, some of these solutions are expected to reach maturity by the project’s conclusion, demonstrating the tangible impact of the research and development efforts.

Collaboration and Innovation Driving the Project Forward

The Arrowhead fPVN project is a testament to strong Finnish-Swedish collaboration, leveraging expertise from both countries to develop innovative solutions in industrial automation and connectivity. As the project progresses, continuous technical discussions, testing, and refinement will ensure that the developed solutions meet industry requirements and create significant value for stakeholders.

Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward in this exciting journey!
