When research is to be evaluated, quantitative methods have historically been important. Primarily, great importance has been placed on bibliometric methods, that is, measuring publication volumes and the number of citations for the publications. In recent years, however, such methods have been debated, which has led to an ongoing reform of the evaluation system that includes an upgrade of peer review as a method for analysis, and a more cautious use of quantitative methods.
Digitalisation has proven to be an effective way to reduce the number of errors in the production stage. The new technology has mainly been used in, for example, the car manufacturing industry.

Forging processes in the heavy metal industry consist of many manual processes where an error may result in costly stops in production.
