In Finland, smart collars and satellite positioning put every reindeer on the map

For some, Finland conjures up magical images of Lapland, the Northern Lights, Santa Claus and reindeer. Others know Finland as an innovative powerhouse of telecoms and digital technology. Now, a creative innovation from Elisa is bringing both these views together, utilising satellite-based positioning and smart technology to make the daily work of reindeer herders significantly easier and improve the animals’ welfare.

In Finland, reindeer are a normal part of life – a typical herd animal and an important source of livelihood for many people in the wild north of the country. A single reindeer farm can own hundreds of reindeer, which roam freely over vast areas across the frozen landscape in search of food. In the past, tracking their herds required farmers to travel long distances and to have a profound understanding of nature and the local conditions.

Now, Elisa has launched a reindeer tracking service developed in close collaboration with reindeer herders themselves. The system utilises the excellent coverage of Elisa’s mobile network and the Internet of Things to provide precise, real-time data about the location and welfare of each and every reindeer in a farmer’s herd, freeing up a significant amount of time for herders.

A simple yet sophisticated solution

The concept behind the service is simple: a collar with a positioning device is attached to the reindeer’s neck. The collar is designed so that it does not disturb the reindeer. Reindeer herders can monitor the movements and welfare of their herds via an app on their phone or computer, making it easy to follow where their animals are and making their work significantly easier.

“For example, rounding up reindeer from across the wilderness and sorting them or marking and tagging the calves has always been very time-consuming and laborious work. If you know the exact location of each individual reindeer, the work becomes considerably quicker and easier”, explains Markus Ahokangas, Elisa’s Regional Director for northern Finland. “Reindeer also sometimes get trapped in deep snow or by thin ice, and they can get injured by predators or road traffic. This system sends out alerts in real time if an animal’s situation changes, making it much easier for herders to rescue their animals. Without these devices, many of these animals would be trapped in the wilderness with little chance of help.”

Elisa provides the entire solution – positioning device, app and subscription – making it simple to acquire the system and roll it out across the herd.

Similar solutions have been tried before, but the new service takes advantage of the excellent coverage and connectivity of Elisa’s network, which is crucial in the challenging conditions that prevail in Lapland. As reindeer do not respect national borders and will wander between Finland, Norway and Sweden, the system has versatile map views that cover Finland’s neighbours as well.

Developed with reindeer herders to meet real-world needs in challenging conditions

The service has been developed through two years of close collaboration with around 20 reindeer herders in Finland, Sweden, and Norway in real usage environments – the fells, forests and wilderness of Lapland. The aim of the thorough development work was to meet the actual needs that reindeer farmers have, and the system is available to herders in Sweden and Norway as well.

“Our system utilises the latest technology and up to 130 positioning satellites to make sure that location tracking is accurate and extremely precise. Battery life was a core factor in the development of the system, and for example, herders can adjust how frequently the collars send updates to optimise the batteries’ power use and make sure they last throughout the season”, says Jale Naskali, who is responsible for IoT solutions at Elisa.

Reindeer herders have been enthusiastically signing up for the service since its launch in the autumn, with advance sales of hundreds of devices to dozens of customers.

“In Finland alone, there are around 6,000 reindeer herders with about 200,000 reindeer, so there’s a lot of room for growth. We are actively seeking feedback from users to help us in continuing to develop the service. We’re already planning changes and improvements to the map views based on what herders have told us”, says Ahokangas.

With real-time location tracking, reindeer herders can monitor their animals across the vast Arctic landscapes, improving safety and efficiency like never before. Now Santa will always know where Rudolph is.

River Liffey rescue exercise showcases how drones can support emergency services

A pioneering research and innovation exercise in Dublin has demonstrated how automated drone docking station technology, supported by artificial intelligence, can help first responders deliver faster and more effective search-and-rescue operations in busy urban environments.

The live demonstration, part of a national Drone Innovation Partnership led by Maynooth University in collaboration with Dublin City Council, the Irish Aviation Authority, and Dublin Fire Brigade, simulated a water emergency incident on the River Liffey.

The rescue will be featured in RTÉ One’s new series of Futureville Ireland, which will be broadcast next week to mark Science Week, which begins on Sunday, 9 November.

In the demonstration, Dublin Fire Brigade personnel responded to a report of a person entering the water. An automated drone launched from a remote docking station, autonomously navigated to the scene, and streamed high-resolution data and video to incident command teams. Artificial intelligence tools supported real-time assessment, helping responders rapidly locate the casualty and understand their condition.

By providing critical situational awareness within moments of an emergency call, the drone system enhances response coordination and decision-making — helping first responders make the right decisions faster where every second counts.

Commenting on the exercise, Teresa Hudson, Station Officer, Organisational Intelligence Unit, Dublin Fire Brigade, said: “Drone dockstation technology, properly deployed and operated, will ensure our fire-fighting and rescue teams can respond more efficiently to emergency incidents where time is always critical.”

The Drone Innovation Partnership project, which is led by Maynooth University, in close collaboration with Dublin City Council and the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) is funded through Research Ireland’s LERO Research Centre (Grant 13/RC/2094_P2).

It examines innovative drone technologies, operations, and public-sector applications, building on previous drone traffic management research at Maynooth University as well as Dublin City Council’s Smart City and Drone Strategy initiatives.

Speaking about the research, Principal Investigator Professor Tim McCarthy of Maynooth University, said: “These real-world search-and-rescue exercises allow us to understand both the capabilities and limitations of automated drone networks. This helps us scale AI-enabled emergency response in a structured, responsible, and effective way for the benefit of wider society.”

Enda Walsh, Manager of the UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) Division at the IAA, said: “This exercise, leveraging both automated UAS and AI, demonstrates how the safe and pragmatic application of these technologies can have significant and positive societal impact. The Drone Innovation Partnership continues to investigate how UAS Ecosystems comprising Drone Regulatory, Technology, Operations, Services and Applications can be rolled out across cities and busy urban environments in a fair, accessible and transparent fashion.”

What Every Finance and Operations Manager Should Know About Digital Invoices and E-Invoicing

When you’re sitting in the board-room or reviewing the operations of your organisation, the term digital invoice should shift from being an “optional upgrade” to a “strategic must.” Below is a professional, clear walk-through designed for decision-makers, finance managers, operations heads, procurement leads, who are ready to bring their invoice processes into the 21st century.

What a digital invoice really means

A digital invoice is more than a PDF sent by email. It is an invoice created, sent, received, and processed in digital form. It is ideally integrated with your accounting or ERP systems, archival storage, and workflow approval. The key is that it replaces much of the manual handling of paper, and it reduces testing and sorting, and enhances visibility.

Meanwhile there is a closely-related term: electronic invoice (or e-invoice). That term refers typically to invoices with structured data, machine-readable formats (XML, EDI) that can be automated by the receiver’s system. 

In short: 

Every electronic invoice is a digital invoice, but not every digital invoice is a full e-invoice with structured automatic processing. 

Why you should care about digital invoice adoption

From the vantage of a senior manager, implementing digital invoices delivers real business value:

Cost savings in processing 

Traditional paper or manual invoices incur printing, postage, manual input, errors, and rework. Changing to digital invoice workflows can significantly reduce those costs. 

Faster cash-flow and payment cycles  

With digital invoices you can send, receive and begin processing immediately. This improves invoice turnaround, reduces late payments and improves visibility into payables/receivables. 

Improved accuracy and fewer exceptions  

When your invoice data comes in digital form, you reduce manual entry, mistakes, mismatches and disputes. That means fewer vendor queries, less time chasing issues. 

Auditability, compliance and visibility 

Invoices stored digitally can be searched, traced, and integrated with your systems. That supports audit trails and regulatory compliance more easily than paper invoices. 

Better supplier/customer relationships 

When you pay reliably, when your processing is efficient, your vendors are happier and your reputation improves. Digital invoice workflows contribute to that. 

Scalability and future-readiness  

As your business grows (volume, geographies, complexity), manual invoice processes become a bottleneck. Digital invoice systems scale more easily. 

How to approach implementation for organisations

Since you’re thinking with a strategic hat on, here are the steps and considerations:

  1. Review your current process: How many invoices/month? How many manual touches per invoice? What is the error/exception rate? Where are delays?

  2. Define your goals for digital invoice adoption: Do you want cost reduction, fewer errors, faster supplier payments, better control? Get measurable targets.

  3. Check system compatibility & data flows: The digital invoice solution must integrate with your ERP/AP system. Also check how your suppliers will submit invoices and the format required. 
  4. Decide the level of “digital-automation” you need: Are you simply going paperless (digital invoice as PDF + upload)? Or are you going full e-invoice (structured data, automated matching, real-time validation)? The decision impacts cost and benefit. 
  5. Prepare your stakeholders (vendors, team, IT): Your team will need training. Suppliers need to know how to send digital invoices. Define the workflows, approval channels, escalation paths.

  6. Pilot with a subset: Start with a manageable number of invoices/suppliers, test, refine, then scale.

  7. Track performance and refine: Measure invoice processing time, error rate, cost per invoice, supplier satisfaction. Use data to improve.

  8. Archive and compliance: Make sure your digital invoice system allows for secure storage, audit trail, retention policy, legal validity.

How the electronic invoice dimension adds value

When you move beyond digital invoice (i.e., upload of PDF) to full electronic invoice (structured, automated), you get deeper benefits:

  • Machine-readable fields, automatic matching of purchase orders, invoices, shipping receipts reduce human intervention. 
  • Real-time data for payables/receivables dashboards and better financial planning.

  • Reduced fraud risk, improved regulatory alignment (dependent on jurisdiction).
  • Higher level of integration with trading partners and business systems – less “manual hand-offs” between buyer/supplier operations.

Bottom line for your organisation

If I were advising a CFO or operations head: implementing a digital invoice framework is no longer “nice to have.” It’s fundamental. It saves time, saves money, increases capacity and cash flow of your finance department to engage in more value-add instead of paperwork. Going even deeper: by going all the way (structured data, automated workflows) you prepare to have a future in which invoice processing is, on the whole, touchless and in which your organisation is ready to scale and change regulation.

FAQs

How quickly will I see benefits after deploying digital invoice processing? 

You should expect to see improvements in processing time and cost within the first few months of a pilot. Depending on volume and team readiness, many organisations report full return on investment within 12-18 months. 

Will every supplier need to change how they send invoices if we adopt digital invoice workflows? 

Not necessarily all at once, but you’ll want a clear supplier ramp-up plan. Some suppliers may continue paper for a short transition period. For full benefit you’ll encourage them to shift to electronic formats as you scale.

Is a digital invoice the same as a paperless invoice? 

Mostly yes in terms of “no physical paper,” but not exactly. A paperless digital invoice may simply be a PDF scanned or an email attachment. A full digital invoice is integrated with your systems, and an electronic invoice (e-invoice) is even deeper, it uses structured data and automation.

 

83% of teachers say they lack formal training in AI

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless TD joined Microsoft Ireland to unveil research on the use of digital technologies and AI in Irish classrooms, and to announce the expansion of the Microsoft Dream Space Teacher Academy, a free programme designed to empower teachers with the skills to effectively and responsibly use AI and digital technologies in the classroom.

Powering new teaching models
The research entitled, ‘Digital Learning in the Era of AI’, reveals how AI and digital technologies are helping to enhance learning and engagement in the classroom. Conducted by 3Gem for Microsoft, the survey of 201 educators across Ireland found that:

·      87% use digital technologies to improve productivity and optimise classroom time

·      86% say apps and platforms help personalise teaching to meet students’ needs

·      81% report stronger student engagement when digital tools are used

·      72% support increased use of AI tools in the classroom

·      83% say they lack formal training in AI

 

While AI is one of the key technologies that teachers are embracing to enhance education and 64% of teachers believe it will positively transform education, adoption varies across the island of Ireland. In Northern Ireland, 74% of teachers report rapid uptake of generative AI, compared to 33% in the Republic.

Digital Tools and AI in Classrooms: Opportunities and Challenges

When asked about ways to bring technology and AI into the classroom, the top three suggestions agreed on by teachers include collaborative learning (49%), student-led initiatives (47%), and project-based learning (41%), approaches that are at the centre of the approach taken by the Microsoft Dream Space team.

The research also highlights a growing integration of digital tools in classrooms, from online worksheets to interactive quizzes, with more experienced teachers using a broader range of tools compared to newer teachers. However, adoption is uneven, especially in schools slower to embrace AI. While 83% of surveyed teachers agree they have not received adequate training to use tech and AI tools effectively, this issue is more pronounced in schools slower to embrace AI, where 67% cite insufficient training as a major barrier, compared to just 32% in faster-adopting schools.

Most educators report student use of laptops, tablets, or computers during lessons. In digitally advanced schools, 40% say devices are used in most teaching, compared to just 15% in slower-adopting schools. Overall, 26% of teachers report high usage (over 75% of teaching), while 51% report moderate use.

Generative AI has seen the fastest growth among digital tools in the past year, marking a shift in teaching approaches. Adoption also varies by location: 64% of urban educators describe their school’s digital transformation as fast or very fast, compared to 45% in suburban and 34% in rural schools. Teachers who use digital tools extensively are more likely to report rapid adoption (74%) than those who use them rarely (30%).

Despite these advances, confidence gaps remain, particularly among non-STEM teachers – only 18% feel fully equipped to use digital technology effectively in the classroom. Even among STEM educators, many report that a lack of ongoing support has limited the impact of their training.

In fact, 81% of teachers say they are lacking formal training in AI, and there is strong consensus among school leaders (92%) that AI training should be a mandatory part of both initial teacher education (ITE) and continuing professional development (CPD).

Microsoft Dream Space Teacher Academy*
To help address the research findings and support teachers to leverage AI and digital technologies to enhance learning and engagement in the classroom, Microsoft today announced the expansion of its Dream Space Teacher Academy for the 2025/2026 academic year. This free, multi-week programme is designed to help primary and post-primary teachers begin their journey with AI in education. It focuses on building confidence and understanding, starting with the basics of how AI works and why AI literacy matters.

Teachers will explore how AI can support productivity, learn how to use it responsibly and ethically, and access resources to help students develop their own AI literacy and future-ready skills. On completion, participants will earn a digital badge via Credly, with opportunities for further professional development and accreditation.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD said: “Microsoft’s latest research underscores the opportunity for AI and digital tools to enhance teaching and learning, as well as the need to support educators with the right training and support to use them effectively. The new national guidance on AI in schools published by the Department of Education is an important step in that journey, providing a clear framework to help educators adopt these technologies responsibly and confidently.

“This aligns with the broader direction of our education system, including the new primary curriculum’s emphasis on digital literacy and modern skills. Across further and higher education, we remain focused on preparing both learners and educators to thrive in an AI-enabled world. Industry has a vital role to play in this, and I’m delighted to join Microsoft today in announcing this expanded AI skills offering for teachers through the Microsoft Dream Space Teacher Academy.”

James O’Connor, Microsoft Ireland Site Leader and Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Global Operations Service Centre, added: “Microsoft is committed to supporting Irish educators to bring a digital mindset into the classroom to enhance learning and student engagement. This research shows that teachers are ready to embrace AI, but they need the right support to do so confidently and responsibly. As the new guidance on the use of AI in the classroom highlights, it’s not just about having access to digital tools; it’s about understanding how AI works and how to use it in ways that truly benefit students.

“That’s why we’re expanding the Dream Space Teacher Academy and investing further in our ambition to Skill Up Ireland. We are committed to helping teachers build the skills, trust and AI literacy they need to confidently use AI in the classroom. By focusing on responsible use, digital understanding and practical classroom application, we hope to support educators to create more inclusive, engaging and future-ready learning experiences for every student across the island of Ireland.” 

Educators interested in joining the free Microsoft Dream Space Teacher Academy can register their interest by the 13th of November at: Dream Space Teacher Packages.
