wsisweden's connecting the dots series: Recent Episodes

Lars Wattsgård

Connecting the Dots is a series of seminars WSI offers to customers and friends, addressing business, technology, and human aspects of successful product and service development in a connected world.

Connecting the Dots events are about to learn, share and meet. Therefore we run this event as close to an IRL event as possible – everyone in the session could see each other with names and faces and we use breakout rooms for sharing thoughts and reflections after each speaker.

Note: during Q&A it is mentioned that RED Cybersecurity does not apply retroactively, but only for "products placed on the market after August 1st, 2025." WSI stresses that this may not necessarily be true in certain cases and that some existing products do need to comply retroactively. Please contact us at WSI if you would like to know more!

Håkan Ohlgren from Sigma Connectivity WSI explains what technical aspects and philosophy you need to consider, and how to think ahead when nurturing a platform, when products must be developed simultaneously.

We’re inviting all tech-curious individuals to come and hear three fascinating talks on the topic of product development using your own platform, both from hardware, software and resource/cost perspectives.

  • What is a platform?
  • And what are the benefits of using a platform-strategy compared to just developing yet another product?
  • In this session you will hear two product companies talk about their experience and view on the topic of platforms.
  • What made them decide to develop/use a platform?
  • What PRO's and CON's did they find?

Then Sigma Connectivity WSI's CTO/Chief Architect will elaborate on platforms based on many customer projects as well as from his experience in developing platforms for Smartphones at Sony Ericsson Mobile communication.

When should you develop your own platform and when should you use a commercial platform?

Elias Josefsson from Husqvarna presents their take on "One platform to enable them all !"

This presentation is about how to create a mindset for the overall strategy of product management. Husqvarna are using same solutions in an array of products and to minimize cost and long-term product maintenance they are moving via generations of platforms.

By adding intelligence and digital solutions, we can transform buildings and EV-fleets into energy assets supporting the energy transition. These could all be part of a virtual power plant creating new value streams. Without trying to greenwash the tasks that lay before us, using more technology is a part of the solution!

Where are we in terms of positioning, what is possible and what is it worth? Please join our Connecting the Dots and listen in to 3 different experts talking about accuracy, power consumption, and business models. WSI has gathered 3 different brilliant experts regarding positioning, its key features, and different requirements. * Does your device need centimeter accuracy; to perform well i.e. autonomous driving? * Or is it goods that need tracking; where battery, longevity, and device cost are important? * Once you know the position; how can you benefit from that data?  What business cases can be pinpointed? This will be presented in a 45 min long Connecting the Dots presented by WSI.
  • Speakers: James Tidd, Principal System architect Swift Navigation Expert in how to position with high accuracy on a global scale.
  • Henrik Sihm, Innovation and Communication specialist Sigma Connectivity. Expert in low power positioning avoiding GNSS
  • Johan Wallin Vice President Aftermarket & Connectivity Husqvarna How can you benefit from the aftermarket knowing where your product is
