R&D Activities and Digitalization Go to contents 32 Digitalizing In 2022, we continued the ongoing digitalization of our working processes, and enhanced our Staticus client centricity with new reporting tools. Here is a breakdown of the main digitalization projects that were initiated or continued by Staticus in 2022: 01 02 03 E.Warehouse Scanning 4D reporting tool CostX tool connected and Barcoding ongoing with PowerBI a) Issue: Our existing reporting tools had progress. For example, it has been used to a) Issue: The process of manually managing limitations that made it challenging for successfully improve communication and a) Issue: Changing material costs have large amounts of stock in the warehouse stakeholders to monitor projects in a transparency in the K8 building project in made the task of calculating project was inefficient and provided space for fast, intuitive manner.
