As the world becomes increasingly digitized, new technologies are emerging that promise to revolutionize the way we design and maintain products. One of the most promising of these technologies is the digital twin, a virtual replica of a physical object that can be used to optimize its design, monitor its performance, and predict its behavior […]
Back in 2003 I bought my first astronomical telescope from Meade Inc. It had state-of-the-art alignment and tracking system, and the software with embedded custom hardware is still today very accurate, even though it’s built mainly with cheap off-the-shelf components. I’ve upgraded and serviced it well, although it’s now considered vintage. For me, when clouds […]
While Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse ideas seem ambitious and foreign to the contemporary Facebook user, his vision has quite some merit what comes to our digital reality in future. Virtual reality helmets, haptic interfaces and even neural implant connections may sound like science fiction for us now, but the same applied to touch-screen displays only a […]
Being a mission critical service provider, BaseN has always emphasized situational awareness of physical and digital assets. Due to increasing cloudification, the latter is more and more difficult as systems become more complex and interdependent. This week we’ve witnessed several explosions in the gas pipes on the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Disrupting energy supplies […]
10 years ago I wrote about SaaS, which in our real-world dictionary means Socks-as-a-Service. Fast forward to this day, and we have a few boutique textile manufacturers who deliver socks via subscription service and at least pretend to model their customer needs. Slow, but at least some progress. At the same time, Fast Fashion is […]
The holiday season has already started, and many people are leaving their homes for an extended time. This is also the time of the year when people tend to worry the most about the condition of their homes, including the appliances and water system. That is where the utility of a smart home far surpasses […]
Time and again we see pieces of news depicting how retailers ‘get caught’ disposing of returned and/or only slightly damaged consumer goods. Amazon does this regularly too, but their process rarely sees daylight. The more expensive the product, the smoother the process. The common reaction is to frame the retailer as immoral and unsustainable, but […]

One of their key offerings is the data center capacity, which is available to their customers as rack space, server capacity or even on detailed application level. Their key value in data center offering […]
My early work experience and some of my greatest leadership examples come from A. Ahlström, a Finnish family company established in 1851. Starting there as an intern in 1984 while 13 years old, throughout the years I had the luxury of witnessing a company which sustained two world wars and always found ways to create […]
Often when we initiate a customer project, our service design process quickly reveals the roadmap for transforming the existing physical product into a combined digital service. In other words, it is already clear what are we creating the digital twin of. However, the most intriguing cases are the ones where it takes some time to […]
