When all machines, devices and sensors speak the same language, a new era begins for the Internet of Things (IoT). An international conference at Siemens Corporate Technology marked the beginning of this era: With the "Thing Description" presented there, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has created a standard that works across different application areas. This makes complex IoT solutions much easier and faster to implement.

Smartphone users as well as industrial companies are looking forward to the advent of the new 5G wireless mobile standard, thanks to which companies will be able to connect their machines and thus make their production plants and intralogistics operations more efficient, more autonomous, and more flexible than ever before.

Leveraging the IoT for one’s own business implies 5 consecutive phases, covering everything from strategy development, use case ideation and development to operations. Find out more in our latest blog article!

How can cities leverage the benefits of digitalization to relieve stress on overstretched services and resources?

Next time you hear potato chips rustling appetizingly in their bag, blockchain technology might be in there as well. Blockchain makes it possible to track products transparently throughout their life cycle – even in the food industry.

Data is said to be digital gold. But how do companies mine the information that is so important to them from the glut of data in the cloud? The detergent and disinfectant manufacturer Calvatis analyzes and visualizes data from industrial washing plants in MindSphere in an intelligent way.

The digital twin has long since established itself in industry, where it’s revolutionizing processes along the entire value chain. It creates a consistent improvement in efficiency, minimizes failure rates, shortens development cycles, and opens up new business opportunities: In other words, it creates a lasting competitive edge.

Digitally networking machines can minimize downtime and increase efficiency, and thus safeguard competitiveness for the long term. That’s why machine builder Kampf offered its customers a specially developed platform solution – which has included a cloud connection.

Every professional soccer stadium has an experienced greenkeeper who cares for the sacred turf. And now, for the first time, the greenkeeper at the Allianz Arena – home of FC Bayern – will be assisted by an application. It’s being made possible by MindSphere, the open IoT operating system, and software developers at evosoft.

IoT and blockchain. Easy and cost-efficient internet access paves the way for a revolution in manufacturing. Learn about the benefits here.

Help your customers to cut costs and manufacture more efficiently while creating new business opportunities: Heller knows how. The machine tool manufacturer has developed its own intelligent app for monitoring machine statuses available in MindSphere. The app includes digital services that drastically reduce maintenance, repair, and production costs.

Here’s something new: A manufacturer of clamping technology and gripping systems is using digital twins to help plant manufacturers and users to increase their competitiveness. Digital twins enable the virtual simulation and testing of all process steps, from engineering and plant commissioning to performance.

A small, smart flexible pick system can do several things at once. It can satisfy a chocoholic’s cravings, act as an “innovation kit” for manufacturers, and simultaneously demonstrate the Industrie 4.0 concept. Naturally, the system was developed in the land of chocolate: Switzerland.

By using a cloud-based application for efficient energy management codeveloped with Siemens, Spanish automotive supplier Gestamp didn’t just reduce its energy consumption by 15 percent in a very short time – it has also moved closer to a future of sustainable “connected” plants with Industry 4.0 solutions.

In order to respond to ever-faster batch changes, new production facilities have to be flexible and effective. Merck and Siemens are seeking to fulfill these requirements in their efforts to develop a modular filter plant – and they are also working together to promote the agile standardization of modular production.
