When the global industry met at Impact 2025 in Houston, Ignos from Bryne stood on stage together with the pump giant Framo. Amidst companies such as ExxonMobil, Microsoft and Aker BP, CTO Rolf Thu explained how technology, people and data create measurable effects in production \u2013 and received a response far beyond expectations <\/p>\n

Impact is one of the world’s largest conferences for industrial digitization and artificial intelligence, organized by Cognite. It brings together leaders and technologists from around the world. <\/p>\n

Ignos was invited to present its collaboration with Framo, a world-leading pump manufacturer headquartered in Bergen \u2013 now part of the Alfa Laval Group.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We were told that our presentation had substance. The fact that our solutions have been put into use in production and not just on the drawing board, stood out positively at Impact, explains Rolf Thu, CTO of Ignos. <\/p>\n

From vision to reality<\/h4>\n

While many lectures were about concepts and plans, Ignos and Framo showed results from four Framo factories that are already in operation.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Many talked about what is to come. We talked about what we have done and the result in terms of economy, efficiency and savings for Framo. That resonated well with the audience, says Thu. <\/p>\n

The CTO explained how Framo uses Ignos’ solutions to connect people, machines and data. The result is higher machine utilization, fewer manual processes and savings in the million range. <\/p>\n

\u2013 Four factories went live at Framo in a short time. Experience, not theory \u2013 that is what builds credibility, he points out. <\/p>\n

\u2013 Measuring is like stepping on the scales<\/h4>\n

Thu compares measurement and data to stepping on the scales. The Pulse app is the factory’s “heart rate monitor”, a system that allows operators to track their own progress over time, and see improvements in production. <\/p>\n

\u2013 Measuring so specifically can feel like stepping on the scales. It takes some courage, but the point is not to monitor the employees. It is to give operators and factories good tools that streamline, save the factory costs and motivate the employees, explains Thu. <\/p>\n

From questions to conversations<\/h4>\n

After the lecture, the questions came thick and fast. Many were about connection to machines, data security and change management. CEO Svein B\u00f8 sat among the audience and spoke with partners and customers afterwards. <\/p>\n

\u2013 There were good and relevant questions in relation to what we do. It shows that the industry wants to move from visions to implementation, says Svein B\u00f8, CEO of Ignos. <\/p>\n

Svein says that the response from both customers and partners was beyond all expectations.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We received direct inquiries from companies such as Aker BP, Aker Solutions, Rockwell Automation, Rexel and several international manufacturers. It shows that what we do in Bryne has relevance far beyond Norway, B\u00f8 points out.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”2c1330f1-bea3-4d97-a1e2-1ffddace63ab” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Looking ahead<\/h4>\n

Ignos is now following up conversations both in Norway and internationally. Already this week, the company is meeting Aker BP and Aker Solutions about further digitization, before heading to Alfa Laval in Kolding, Denmark. <\/p>\n

\u2013 For us, this is the start of a bigger journey. We are ready for a global investment, and we see that the market is ripe for it. The order is simple: Deliver, prove, scale, concludes CEO, Svein B\u00f8. <\/p>\n
