DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECT - INDIGO
The INDIGO project focused on the digitalisation of key business functions in the large companies participating in the project, as well as the partial digitalisation of medium-sized and small companies. The project was based on advanced technologies, including the establishment of databases using big data and state-of-the-art architectures, such as Data Fabric, the development of innovative solutions, the implementation of business analytics, comprehensive process automation, the introduction of machine learning and advanced analytics, and the use of augmented and virtual reality devices.
Within the project, the consortium partners developed new, innovative technological solutions and digitalised the production process of aluminium semi-finished products in the Impol Group foundry in Slovenska Bistrica. Through these activities, the project contributed significantly to reducing the carbon footprint of aluminium products and semi-finished products intended for further use in the automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical, food and construction industries.
The existing digital products and services of five SME partner companies were significantly upgraded, and at least five new digital products were developed. As a result, the use of advanced digital technologies increased significantly across all partner companies.
The main costumer benefits of INDIGO:
- Development of new, green alloys and products with a low carbon footprint
- Ensuring complete traceability of the production process
- Digitised production processes and internal logistics
- Increased focus on processing post-industrial scrap
