Service: Kratt Säll - Organising museum inventory

Responsible organisation: National Heritage Board (Central-Government)

The National Heritage Board, together with pilot museums, will test the Artificial Intelligence of conservation and inventory Kratt Säll, which will make museum inventories more convenient and faster. Today, it takes an average of 19 minutes for two people to make an inventory of one museum in the Museum Information System. For example, in a future shared repository or larger museums, inventorying a 2.5 million object will take 47.5 million minutes, or 90.3 years. This time is also the reason why it is often not possible to ensure the long-term preservation of all museum objects. One of the most important goals is to find a smart solution for controlling the condition and location of museums, based on the physical characteristics of each museum (eg material, age, condition) and the storage environment of the museum to determine the need and interval for inspections. If successful, this would allow time-consuming inventories to be abandoned in the future and replaced by needs-based controls. With the help of Kratt Säll, we want to take inventories and condition surveys of museums to a new level. The use of krat changes the traditional and very time-consuming work step, giving the custodian the information they need to make decisions quickly. It predicts the aging processes of the museum and indicates objects that would need immediate preservation or rapid intervention.
