Make your business more efficient and innovative: With the Internet of Things

The IoT platform is part of the connected product

We believe that the IoT platform is a core component of a connected product. Maintain the same control over the development of the platform as you do over the product itself. To this end, we rely on standards where possible and implement them individually, which makes them unique. Using agile process models with targeted know-how transfers and working in mixed teams, we also make your organization fully capable of acting. We place a special focus on these aspects of the IoT platform to ensure the future viability of your platform:

Security

Every networked product starts with a secure connection to the cloud. To this end, we design secure overall processes, e.g. for certificate management, taking into account current requirements (see Cyber Resilience Act and EU Data Act).

Customizability

We ensure that you have the same control over the development process of your IoT platform as you do over your product. Individual components based on open standards make you independent of specific products and therefore of license models and functional restrictions.

Scalability

IoT systems scale differently to typical user applications due to the volume and frequency of data they generate. We keep an eye on both the technical scalability and the costs of the platform at all times.

Digital Twins

With Digital Twins, we optimize your systems: precise real-time data, smart analyses and seamless integration - for well-founded decisions and greater efficiency.
