Wärtsilä is a global leader in smart technologies and complete lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets. By emphasizing sustainable innovation, total efficiency and data analytics, Wärtsilä maximizes the environmental and economic performance of the vessels and power plants of its customers. In Wärtsilä’s new Marine vision “Smart Marine Ecosystem”, the marine industry is transforming from disconnected vessels, sailing independently (and inefficiently) in a disconnected operating environment, to an ecosystem that connects Smart Vessels to Smart Ports, Smart Ports to Smart Cities and beyond, creating an entire supply chain from raw material to end user, connected in one digital value-chain. It enables efficient use of resources, least climate impact and highest safety.
To keep the global leading position in advanced technologies and complete lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets Wärtsilä needs to develop their products and services in fast changing environment more Faster – Better – and cost-effective-way than ever before. This creates demand of new way of thinking from all in organization and beyond. Digital insight combined with solutions are using different methods like data analytics tools, robotics and digitalization to shorten the time to market. Effective integration of suppliers into new product development in early phase can yield such benefits as reduced cost and improved quality, reduced product development time, and improved technology. Through digitalization the whole supply chain is changing and the way of working and communicating within all stakeholders.
