HT and Partners Enable Digital Transformation of Factories

Hrvatski Telekom signed a partnership with Culmena on the 100 Smart Factories project to enable simpler digitalization and application of Industry 4.0 in Croatian factories. With its experience, expertise, and personalized approach to managing complex production and business optimization, digitalization, and digital transformation projects, Culmena guides clients through investment, the order of implementation of necessary technologies, and processes on the way to creating smart factories.

As part of this project for the needs of digitalization and application of Industry 4.0, HT and partners offer factories a wide range of their infrastructure services located in the most modern data center arranged according to the most demanding TIER 3 standards and the possibility of using HT IoT platform. Within the offer for Industry 4.0, users also have access to an app that monitors real-time production in order to raise quality control and further digitalize the process. The app was created in accordance with the needs of production factories and is adapted to the challenges that today's factories face, enabling them to increase productivity and profitability.

"The joint collaboration on the 100 Smart Factories project aims to further strengthen our position as a market leader in Industry 4.0 and a driver of digitalization. By providing advanced business services and infrastructure that we offer to industrial companies through this cooperation, we want to make it easier for Croatian production companies to adapt to digital tools and prepare them for Business Transformation and Industry 4.0," said Ivana Beli Oštarčević, Director of ICT Services Portfolio Development and Management Sector at Hrvatski Telekom.

The 100 Smart Factories project was launched with an objective to create more smart factories to ensure their better position in the market. The transformation of factories is made possible through the Culis methodology, which results from many years of experience in production and works on process optimization.

"Hrvatski Telekom is an important partner of Culmena in the #100Smart Factory project, with which we are carrying out the Digital transformation of industrial enterprises in Croatia and beyond, and thus contribute to improving their efficiency. Industrial production is one of the most important sectors for Croatia and it is very important in 2022 to transform as many of our factories into Smart factories. With its experience, knowledge, and technologies, HT can contribute to this goal," said Nedeljko Štefanić, CEO of Culmena.
