Abstract
There is currently a lot of unused potential in using robots for inspection and maintenance tasks, as the capabilities and benefits robots can provide for the businesses are significant and versatile. This study explores how Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) act as enablers in the uptake of robotics for inspection and maintenance. DIHs are regional networks that help companies become more competitive with regard to their business or production processes, and products or services. We explore the role and activities of DIHs both from the perspectives of a single regional DIH and an ecosystem of multiple DIHs. The study builds on the experiences and qualitative ecosystem data collected at the RIMA (Robotics for Inspection and Maintenance) project, consisting of 13 DIHs in various European countries. The results of the study show that DIHs can play a significant role in accelerating the uptake of robotics in inspection and maintenance, as they connect and support actors across the value chain in the robotics for inspection and maintenance field.
