From Eureka to Ta-Dah: Holistic solutions for IIoT & Digital Production
World-renowned German ingenuity is driven by bright minds. And the backbone of our economy? Manufacturing companies. Whether in mechanical engineering or automotive supply, today it’s all about seizing the opportunities of digitalization to shape tomorrow freely.
No half measures
As an experienced digitalization partner for manufacturing, we’re here to support you. From shopfloor connectivity to industrial IoT, from centralized data architecture to AI-optimized production processes – we take a holistic approach to IIoT and digital production, with both expertise and passion. Just like our clients do.
Smart Solutions, Powerful Outcomes
More efficient production, lower resource consumption, reduced unit costs: companies that digitalize their production with us are ready to compete on the global stage. What matters now: taking those first digital steps – so they can make an impact fast.
From shopfloor connectivity to industrial IoT
Connecting machines and equipment is the foundation of IIoT.
But connectivity alone isn’t enough – real value comes from structured data collection and intelligent analysis. And that’s exactly where many companies face challenges, especially with a heterogeneous brownfield machine landscape. The key question is:
How can we connect different controllers with proprietary protocols?
How can we incorporate unstructured data—like PDFs, images, or audio tracks?
Which target architecture is secure and future-proof?
Which processes run on the edge; where does the cloud show its strengths?
We provide the answers to these questions – so you can optimize your production in a data-driven way.

This mid-sized company wanted to step out of its comfort zone – and into IIoT.
From more efficient processes to digital production
A fully digital production doesn’t happen overnight. But it’s not wishful thinking either. With the right technologies, you can rethink – and more importantly, implement – production processes. The result? Less waste of time and resources, and more efficiency and flexibility, for example through:
Predictive maintenance. Algorithms and real-time data provide insights into machine conditions and predict failures – reducing downtime and increasing availability.
Digital twins. Simulations of physical production systems reduce planning efforts and boost productivity.
Collaborative systems. Smart communication and digital knowledge sharing reduce errors and improve quality.
Digital worker guidance & AR training. Interactive assistance systems foster a willingness to learn and ensure smooth operations.
Ready to tackle digital production?
We’ve developed a step-by-step guide tailored to your industry – and it’s available to you free of charge, but only in german.
From centralized data architecture to smart factory
Modern manufacturing requires flexible data structures that seamlessly combine connectivity, security, and compliance. With Unified Namespace (UNS) and security by design, we help you make the most of your production data – while protecting your infrastructure from risks.
Namespace simplifies data access and increases scalability for IIoT applications.
Rapid deployment of new applications e.g. algorithms for more efficient production planning.
Security by design for a robust infrastructure that provides maximum protection against cyberattacks.
Compliance support for requirements such as NIS-2, the digital product passport, and industry-specific regulations.

From intelligent knowledge utilization to AI-based production
Ready, set, produce: AI offers enormous potential for manufacturing – from process optimization to AI-driven knowledge utilization. We’re already seeing successful applications in our daily work, for example in energy data management or in reducing setup times.
Boost process efficiency with AI. Data-driven analyses and smart AI-based automation – objectively considering and evaluating ALL factors – drive greater efficiency.
Making production knowledge available. Large Language Models (LLMs) document and capture your employees’ implicit expertise – and provide them with targeted support.
Save costs and resources. AI algorithms detect complex patterns and enable optimizations for lower energy consumption, reduced material usage, and shorter setup times.
