Edig is a knowledge platform aimed at enhancing digitalization competence in the industry. We at Republic have built and refined the site in stages, including adding features for external columnists and allowing all educators to create their own training modules.
RISE is Sweden's research institute and innovation partner. In international collaboration with businesses, academia, and the public sector, they contribute to a competitive industry and a sustainable society. The Edig project was led by GTC – Göteborgs Tekniska College.
The illustrations for Edig are created as vector graphics, meaning they can be scaled up or down without any loss of quality. This allows them to be used in both small variations on the website and on large banners at trade shows and similar events.
Since most of the images are made in isometric 3D, they are easy to combine into new illustrations. If you look closely, you'll notice that several elements appear in different places within the images.
On edig.nu, companies, schools, and organizations regularly publish articles about digitalization in the industry. The articles are sorted by subject areas and complexity, forming a knowledge bank for those who want to learn more about topics such as artificial intelligence or additive manufacturing.
The target audience is employees within Swedish industry, such as operators, maintenance technicians, production engineers in companies, management, and various training providers.
