Foreword
Therecentglobalfinancialcrisishasunderlinedtheimportanceoftherealeconomy
andastrongindustrywithindustrialactivitiesintegratedinrichandcomplexvalue
chains, linking multinationals to small or medium enterprises across sectors and
countries. Economies with a solid manufacturing base focusing on high-tech or
medium-tech activities and with integrated value chains have proved to be more
resilient to the economic downturn and better placed to achieve higher growth in
times of rebound.
A strong industrial base is of key importance for Europe’s economic competi-
tiveness. With scarce natural and energy resources and ambitious social and
environmental goals, EU companies cannot compete on low price and low quality
products.Theymustturntoinnovation,productivity,resource-efficiencyandcreate
high value-added in order to compete in global markets. Europe’s comparative
advantage in the world economy lies and will continue to lie in high value-added
goods and services. And for this, it will have to rely on innovation and techno-
logical advancement as its main source of competitiveness.
Use-it-Wisely, a EUR 8.6 million industrial project supported under the
EuropeanCommission’sSeventhResearchandInnovationFrameworkProgramme
overthelast39months,hasattemptedtoachievethis.Ithasinvestigatedtoolsand
methodologiestohelpindustriesadapttoanenvironmentcharacterisedbyconstant
change. The approach has built on the idea of a continuous, incremental upgrade
process based on close collaboration between involved actors throughout the pro-
ductlifecycle.Managingthisprocessrequiresaholisticunderstandingofthecausal
effectsofvariousfactorstosupportstrategicdecisionmakingregardingtechnology
upgrades, service development and introduction of novel business models.
Solutions based on virtual and augmented realty and 3D scanning technologies
were applied.
The tools and models developed in this project were implemented and tested in
six different industries. They comprised service inspection of power turbines,
modular upgrades of mobile rock crushers, space applications engineering,

The project’s diversity has proved to be its particular strength: interacting with
seeminglyunrelated fieldsofindustryhascontributedtoanunprecedented transfer
of knowledge, experience and technological know-how amongst the involved
researchers and industrial practitioners, providing fertile ground for new ideas and
solutions.
The European Commission is happy with this project’s outcomes and as the
official responsible for the monitoring of this project’s activities I recommend the
study of the material contained in this book.
