By Arne Svendsen, Industrial Digitisation Advisor at www.asticon.dk
At ASTICON, we marked the 2 years anniversary on the 14th June this year. It´s been an exciting journey – serving a number of ambitious customers in our core competence areas. Most of the work is of course delivered under non-disclosure agreements, but we are allowed to mention two of these customers, which are Chr Hansen and Flügger.
See the customer recommendation from Chr Hansen in the information-box below, and look forward to the one from Flügger in the next ASTICON blog update.
Chr Hansen is a world leading manufacturer of food & pharma cultures and enzymes, as well as natural colors and probiotic natural cultures.In 2019 ranked as the world´s most sustainable company. Chr Hansen Ranked #1

During the first two years it has been a pleasure to work with and for our customers on those deliveries. Is has been an equally great experience to engage in projects with some of the leading IT-suppliers in the Manufacturing-IT area:
Also thanks to:
- Dennis Brandl at BR&L Consulting, US-based Industrial-IT advisory.
- Carsten Nøkleby at SESAM, a danish Industrial-IT networking society.
Dennis and Carsten are real thought leaders of the Industrial-IT knowledge space, and always helpful when sparring is needed, e.g. around the PackML, ISA-88 and ISA-95 standard.

ASTICON har været en stor hjælp for Chr. Hansen i forbindelse med udarbejdelsen af en omfattende MES- og automationsløsning til en ny fabrik. Arne Svendsen har især hjulpet med at definere den overordnede arkitektur for løsningen, i validering og test af løsningen, samt i den projektledelse og strategiudarbejdelse, der har ligget til grund for projektet. Dette har indbefattet koordinering og afholdelse af møder, udarbejdelse af dokumentation samt konkret sparring i forhold til at definere, hvordan løsningens forskellige elementer har skulle kodes. Der er altid fokus på det væsentlige i de forskellige udfordringer/opgaver. Vi har bl.a. værdsat følgende egenskaber i projektledelse og IT-arkitekt arbejdet
Med venlig hilsen Kristian Nikolaj Hohol
