HI Tech & Industry Scan­di­navia 2025 Press Release OI4 [EN] [DK]

SESAM and the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance partner up: More oppor­tu­ni­ties for members and a stronger Euro­pean commu­nity

SESAM and the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance have entered a strategic part­ner­ship that links more than 150 member compa­nies across Europe. The goal is simple: speed up digi­tal­iza­tion and sustain­ability in industry by sharing stan­dards, know-how, and working solu­tions across sectors and borders.

Both networks focus on open stan­dards, inter­op­er­able tech­nolo­gies, and prac­tical imple­men­ta­tion. Together they will use joint activ­i­ties and projects to turn refer­ence archi­tec­tures into outcomes that cut complexity in real value chains. Under the motto “The power of many,” the first joint appear­ance will be at the HI trade fair in Herning, featuring concrete solu­tions and learn­ings from member compa­nies.

Chris­tian Liedtke, Chair of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, says: “We are joining forces with SESAM to connect strong commu­ni­ties and deliver imple­men­ta­tions that work in facto­ries and along supply chains. Members gain access to broader exper­tise and collab­o­ra­tion that trans­lates into measur­able results.”

Henrik Lykke Lille­holt, Chair of SESAM, adds: “This part­ner­ship opens the door to more shared knowl­edge and devel­op­ment. By combining the strengths of both networks, we create clear bene­fits for our members.”

The collab­o­ra­tion gives all members access to current insights, proven building blocks, and oppor­tu­ni­ties to co-develop projects that move industry forward.

SESAM OG OPEN INDUSTRY 4.0 ALLIANCE FORENER KRÆFTER: NYE MULIGHEDER OG STYRKET EUROPÆISK FÆLLESSKAB

To netværk, SESAM og Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, indgår nu et strate­gisk part­ner­skab, der forener førende virk­somheder og deres eksper­tise fra hele Europa.

Med ambi­tionen om at accel­erere digi­talis­ering og bæredygtighed i indus­trien er samar­be­jdet indgået for at samle viden, erfaringer og netværk på tværs af brancher og lande­grænser til gavn for medlemsvirk­somheder, samar­be­jdspart­nere og hele værdikæden.

Det nye samar­bejde bygger på en fælles antagelse: at styrken i indus­trien ligger i det faglige fællesskab, hvor viden, ressourcer og kompe­tencer deles og udvikles. Begge netværk arbe­jder aktivt for at fremme åbne stan­darder, digital trans­for­ma­tion og flek­sibel omstilling i indus­triens værdikæder, samtidig med at de inspir­erer til best-prac­tice og imple­mentering i sektoren.

Under sloganet ”The power of many” delt­ager SESAM og Open Industry 4.0 Alliance sammen på HI-messen i Herning, hvor de vil præsen­tere konkrete løsninger og erfaringer fra medlemsvirk­somhed­erne inden for digi­talis­ering og bæredygtighed.

Chris­tian Liedtke, formand for Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, fortæller: “We’re excited to join forces with SESAM, a strong network that unites experts, compa­nies, and orga­ni­za­tions across indus­tries, and together with the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance’s expe­ri­ence in imple­menting real-world, inter­op­er­able solu­tions, we can offer our members valu­able collab­o­ra­tions that deliver concrete bene­fits for the industry.”

Part­ner­sk­abet skal give medlem­merne adgang til endnu mere specialis­eret viden og et stærkere netværk – samt mulighed for at indgå i fælles projekter, der skaber konkret værdi i indus­trien.

Henrik Lykke Lille­holt, formand for SESAM, supplerer: “Formålet er at åbne døren for flere muligheder og skabe nye rammer for viden­deling og udvikling. Ved at kombinere netværkenes styrker kan vi hjælpe netvær­kets medlemmer.”

Samar­be­jdet sikrer, at medlem­merne i begge netværk får adgang til aktuel viden, konkrete løsninger og inspi­ra­tion til at realisere digi­tale ambi­tioner.

Tilsammen repræsen­terer SESAM og Open Industry 4.0 Alliance over 150 medlemsvirk­somheder. Part­ner­sk­abet bygger derfor bro mellem dansk industri og de nyeste europæiske trends og løsninger.
