Elektroverkstaden provides water pumps placed in hard-to-reach locations. Currently, they regularly inspect them because it is impossible to know if they need maintenance without being on-site. During the pilot case, we have investigated the possibility of using sensors to know when maintenance is needed and how to send data from the sensors.
Novacore manufactures various types of packaging. Some packaging is made of paper and cardboard, which can easily be damaged if stored in the wrong conditions, so the pilot case has focused on measuring the climate in their storage facilities.
ETEC runs technology education programs and already has an ecosystem of various sensors. What they wanted support with was sorting and visualizing the data collected from the sensors in an accessible and appropriate way.
C3C is a company that manufactures concrete blocks of various sizes at different locations around Sweden. These blocks are used, among other things, as retaining walls, material pockets, and storage buildings in the recycling industry. Their project has focused on exploring how IoT and sensors can be used to improve the storage and handling of biofuels.
Astrid Lindgrens Värld has installed sensors to measure temperature and humidity in their cabins. One of the goals was to create a visual presentation of data from the cabins so that the reception could observe if, for example, ventilation is needed in a cabin or if the temperature is too high/low.
Ölands köksmejeri works with cheese production. The pilot case has involved looking at sensors that can contribute to planning pasteurization during periods of low costs, programming various cheese recipes, and alarms in the pot that monitor important values such as temperature, time, and pH.
The owner of Kallskänken and several other restaurants wanted a better overview and understanding of their restaurants. The pilot case has explored the use of LoRaWAN networks and sensors. The goal has been to measure temperature, humidity, the number of visitors, and monitor noise levels in various restaurant premises.
Stens Chark AB produces charcuterie products, and during its pilot case, the lab helped the company implement IoT sensors to measure temperatures and humidity in charcuterie production, which contributed to optimizing processes and reducing quality problems and food waste.
Honestbox AB helps businesses with solutions for both unmanned stores and those who want to start hybrid stores. The lab supported the company in developing the next generation of hardware for unmanned stores by identifying suitable firmware updates and creating resilient connections with multiple communication protocols.
Flowbic AB supports other companies in their work with digital solutions. The lab supported them in developing hardware, sensors, and network technology related to IoT solutions and explored new opportunities in collaboration with biologists at Linnaeus University.

The lab worked on connecting existing scale systems to the internet, which enabled the company to offer new IoT-based solutions to improve productivity and reduce operating costs.
PM & Vänner is a hotel with a gastronomic restaurant that wanted to work on reducing food waste. They had a system for registering food waste, but it was cumbersome, which contributed to employees not using it. The lab supported the company in developing a connected and digitized process for measuring food waste, which contributed to optimizing operations and achieving the company's environmental goals.
Beelab AB works to facilitate beekeeping with the help of technology. The lab supported Beelab in developing battery-powered, energy-efficient systems, which reduced energy consumption and enabled a product that can function wirelessly.
