Smart products

Networking physical products with the digital world to strengthen the competitiveness of companies through new use and business cases. We support manufacturers from brainstorming and conception through to software implementation and operational support. Our expertise includes the end-to-end integration of machines, devices and products into existing systems - such as an ERP system - in order to generate real added value.

End-to-end solutions

Our end-to-end solutions make it possible to effectively network machines, devices and products with existing systems. By exchanging data, e.g. from sensors, new, data-driven services can be developed that increase your competitiveness and generate additional business models.

Our many years of experience and in-depth expertise guarantee reliable implementation and support - from the integration of a wide range of interfaces and protocols to cloud-to-cloud communication. With our support, innovative business models such as pay-per-use can be implemented, enabling stable and recurring sources of income.

By networking the systems, you can find out in detail how your customers actually use the products and how you can improve your products in a targeted manner and adapt them optimally to the needs of the market.

Worldwide over-the-air (OTA) software updates keep all machines up to date and secure. This reduces the need for service calls and ensures efficient management of large machine inventories.

In the future, such systems could be further optimized with additional functions such as AI-supported evaluations and predictive maintenance. This would further increase the efficiency and reliability of the machines and reduce operating costs.
