Company Description | Synaptics ignited the human interface revolution. Their touch, display and Biometrics products are built on the company's storied research and development, extensive intellectual property and global partnerships. With solutions designed to optimize the user experiences in the mobile, PC and automotive industries, Synaptics combines ease of use, functionality and aesthetics to enable products that help make users' digital lives more productive, secure and enjoyable. | Founded in 1983, Advantech is a leader in providing trusted innovative embedded and automation products and solutions. Advantech offers comprehensive system integration, hardware, software, customer-centric design services, and global logistics support; all backed by industry-leading front and back office e-business solutions. | Phoenix Contact Software is a leading international provider in the field of software development for automation. As leading supplier in the industry, we have been developing software technologies for the global players in automation for more than 30 years.
Our core technologies IEC 61131 CONTROL, IEC 61508 SAFETY and PROFINET are being used successfully by our customers worldwide. Our products prove their quality and reliability on a daily basis in hundreds of thousands of automation systems. The range of applications comprises almost all industries. | Liebherr Group today is a leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, but also supplies innovative user-oriented products and services in many other fields. | With over 50 years of sensor experience, Balluff GmbH is a world leader and one of the most efficient manufacturers of sensor technology with company office in Neuhausen a.d.F. directly at Stuttgart.
The company offers sophisticated technology and very modern electronics application-specific customer solutions and an individual consultation and first-class service. | RAFI was founded in Ravensburg in the year 1900. The RAFI Group is active on a worldwide level with approx. 2,000 employees in seven manufacturing and three distribution companies. Its headquarters are located in Berg near Ravensburg, Germany.
RAFI develops and produces electro-mechanical components, control systems for human-machine communication as well as electronic assemblies and devices. The great level of added value within the RAFI Group is ensured due to relevant expertise and delivery reliability for all RAFI customers.
The product division for electromagnetic components is made up of short-travel keyswitches of the MICON, RACON and RF series that are used in industrial membrane keyboards, car steering wheels, and car remote controls. The LUMOTAST pushbuttons and RAFIX control components are primarily used for mechanical/plant engineering applications and control systems. In particular, the RAFIX 22 FS series, with an extremely flat design and the PCB mounting option, is still the technological leader in this segment. |
IoT Solutions | Synaptics helps users get the most out of their devices through an extensive portfolio of human interface solutions that enable elegant, intuitive user experiences. | Advantech has always been an innovator in the development and manufacture of high-quality, high-performance computing platforms. They cooperate closely with our partners to help provide complete solutions for a wide array of applications across a diverse range of industries. To realize our corporate vision of Enabling an Intelligent Planet, Advantech will continue collaborating and Partnering for Smart City & IoT Solutions. | Liebherr creates innovative IoT solutions that are extendable and plug-and-play. Liebherr has developed the fleet management platform LiDAT for their construction machines. Due to customer demand, these platforms are often extended to include competitors’ products but with limited data coverage and functionality. For the household appliance industry, Liebherr has a novel refrigeration solution: a plug-and-play device that turns almost any of the company's fridges into a smart fridge.
What's especially brilliant about the SmartDevice is not so much its capabilities, but Liebherr's overall approach to smart home technology. Unlike smart home setups that force users to buy pricey hardware that can't be upgraded and may not even be necessary, SmartDevice gives consumers the option of choosing nearly any Liebherr fridge and adding connectivity only if and when they feel comfortable doing so. | The competitive advantage of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is at your fingertips. The technology that enables these advantages is here now and well proven. Intelligent, connected systems provide scalability to seamlessly grow with your manufacturing needs. Are you ready to capitalize?
Our commitment is to the development and manufacture of sensors, identification systems and connectivity solutions for every area of industrial automation.
We already offer the necessary technologies for implementing Industry 4.0 and IIoT solutions.
• Integration in successive stages as budget and time allow
• Prioritize projects based on need with scalable implemention
• Capitalize on existing control architectures to quickly realize Industry 4.0 and IIoT | ||
