"Working with three companies had its challenges, but each one added value to our project. Stactics advised us on programming, Whysor company provided us with sensors and dashboard tools, and CAF connected us with farmers. Managing them was tricky, but it allowed us to use each company’s strengths."
“The main difficulty in our project was the sheer amount of stakeholders from different engineering disciplines. In order to overcome this stakeholder overload, we applied different focus group sessions, which really helped us to establish consensus.”
"The project involved creating a digital dashboard in collaboration with a production facility in Poland, investigating ERP systems, internal processes, and cloud solutions. The concept of Industry 5.0 was integrated as a vision for future manufacturing at Signify. "
"The project resulted in a servitization model and a digital strategy for the SortiPack. After graduation, he joined Crux Agribotics as an R&D specialist, focusing on data analytics and further developing the research outcomes into a market-ready product. I advised choosing projects that address real company needs, not just internship tasks."
