| Company Description | 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. | 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. | Hite is committed to becoming the leader in Industry 4.0 overall solution services by providing industry users with the most competitive intelligent manufacturing products and solutions. Hite is a strong manufacturer and system integration service provider in possession of independent core technology in domestic field of industry informatization and automation. Hite follows the development strategy of "cooperating and focusing” while relying on its ever-improving high-power electronic platform, industrial automation and informatization R&D platform. Hite is dedicated to persistently developing the products and technologies of new energy, equipment automation, industry information network, energy saving and etc. | 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 more than 60 years in experience in industrial automation, Koyo Electronics pursues superiority and delivers best values through a range of industrial product portfolio. Their product includes PLCs, HMIs displays and software, proximity sensors, rotary encoders, counters and Controllers. | With specialized sales and engineering teams for machine automation, process control, instrumentation, data communication and fluid power technologies, Cross has the technical expertise to solve industries' most challenging automation applications.

| IoT Solutions | 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. | Hi-SCOM Industrial Network Products - Industrial network products, which realize the networking between industrial equipment. NetSCADA Equipment Automation Series Products - Includes powerful developing platform, real time database and management software, Synchronous transmission, special monitoring software and process interface oriented for industry applications. E-Control Power Electric Products - Completely independent engineering saving electrical products. | 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. | Cross Company's Integrated Systems Group provides control system design, system integration, programming services and product fulfillment to industry and municipalities.
