The project aims to improve efficiency and increase production capacity in large construction and infrastructure projects, combined with an enhanced level of automation, improved safety, and a more sustainable production. The goal is to reduce climate impact and minimize work-related injuries.

The project has the target to advance the industry by:

  • Facilitating interaction between autonomous and electrified machines
  • Reducing incidents and accidents by integrating safety mechanisms into machines and systems
  • Providing a reliable CO2 report for an entire project from production to completion
  • Enhancing information exchange between different systems and making communication between systems more robust and efficient
  • Digitizing more processes
