From Fire-and-Forget to Lasting Customer Bonds in the Era of Smart Cameras In 2006, upon completing our house construction, I purchased a pair of Mobotix video surveillance cameras. Primarily intended for security, they also served the purpose of observing our natural surroundings. Renowned as a German manufacturer, Mobotix is celebrated for crafting exceptionally durable and […]
Concentrate and specialize – common old-school business advice In a world largely still without spime, the next generation digital twin: Concentrate on your core business! Specialize on your niche and be the world leader in it! Decide what not to do! Sell off anything else! Ditch other than most profitable customers! Conglomerates are dead! These […]

Nevertheless, it sported a powerful STM32F7 flight controller and a Raspberry Pi Zero W as the spime-enabling secondary computer. With the miniature design, […]
A few weeks ago I had the privilege to visit Cargotec Kalmar’s ‘harbor on a dry land’ near Tampere, Finland. The site is one of their R&D hubs, with all their cargo-moving and lifting products being tested in a very real environment. Most of their special cargo-moving vehicles are already fully digitalized and capable of […]
A few years back I decided to build a mobile sauna & pool with my brother. Although it may sound like a seriously non-digital asset, I ended up equipping it with a 4G connection, car-independent battery, 200W solar panel, led convenience lighting, temperature sensors, door locking indicators, GPS and a small internal display. Lights are […]
