Bricks & Bytes: Exploring LEGO Group’s Journey towards a Digitized and Automated Shop Floor
The LEGO Group, founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen, is a Danish toy company known for its iconic interlocking plastic bricks. These bricks allow for endless creativity and building possibilities, promoting imaginative play among children and adults alike. The company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability has led to its global success, making LEGO one of the most recognized and cherished brands in the world of toys. Over the years, the LEGO Group has expanded its offerings to include various themed sets, movies, video games, and even educational initiatives.
The presentation will make a general fly in on where the LEGO Group is globally today – who we are. Secondly, we will focus what is important to us – our strategic focus areas. We will then go deeper on two out of four strategic priorities. Digitalization and Sustainability – and digitalization of the shop floor becomes a vital handle for efficiencies, quality/environment delivery, cost, and the people agenda. The presentation will focus on how we have worked agile, concrete walk through of shop floor solutions and how the factory device is working in everyday life.

CASE STUDY
Business Resilience through Agility, Innovation, and IoT
Corporate resilience is more than a protective measure; it is also the ability to reinvent and innovate in response to disruption. Faced with ever-changing markets, disruptive technologies, and global uncertainties, the ability to simplify complex systems and inject AGILITY into business becomes critical. Unmanaged complexity can lead to inefficiencies, bottlenecks and vulnerabilities within our organizations and ultimately slow down the business.
However, Agility does not work by itself because it is through innovation that new paths for growth and sustainability open. The IoT is then the right way, with its vast network of interconnected devices and sensors, it has revolutionized the way we collect and use data. It has given us unprecedented insights, enabling us to optimize operations, improve customer experiences, and develop innovative business models to anticipate change rather than follow through with it.
We’ll walk you through our experiences as global leaders in companies facing these challenges and how we’ve tackled them into the projects of digital transformation that we led.
