To this end, the enlarged SUSiEtec digitalization portfolio now allows straightforward access to all the necessary IoT/embedded computer hardware, software tools and software development environment. This comes along with the necessary consulting and industry specialist skills including installation and operation support – all from one single source.

At the same time, SUSiEtec focuses on unlocking new value by making the best use of existing and new data sources. Connectivity between products, machines and collaboration between people across the complete industrial value chain are the enabling factors of digitalization.
