GFT takes over Axoom
With effect from July 1, 2019, GFT Technologies has acquired Axoom with its IT and industry expertise at the Karlsruhe site. In addition, the long-standing cooperation with Trumpf will be strengthened by a development partnership.
With these steps, GFT intends to accelerate its 'industry offensive' and expand its industrial expertise. Axoom's location in Karlsruhe will become a further pillar of GFT's customer proximity in southern Germany alongside Stuttgart.
The focus of the joint projects with Trumpf is on the further development of machine software for the simpler implementation of networked production and for smart factory solutions. In this context, Trumpf will also continue to use the Axoom brand.
Trumpf itself plans to focus on the business of its own customers and industrial IoT processes. In future, the further development of machine connectivity and platform activities will be brought together at the headquarters in Ditzingen. Some of these solutions were previously developed by the subsidiary Axoom in Karlsruhe.
GFT was founded in 1987 and employs over 5,000 people. The company is driving the digital transformation of leading financial institutions worldwide, but also offers consulting and implementation services for sectors such as industry and insurance in all aspects of future-oriented technologies, from cloud engineering to artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things for Industry 4.0 to blockchain.
Partnership with in-integrierte informationssysteme
There is another partnership between GFT and in-integrierte informationssysteme. The companies are pooling their respective technology and consulting expertise. The cloud-enabled IoT and Industry 4.0 platform 'sphinx open online' from in-integrierte informationssysteme, combined with GFT's IT expertise, opens up considerable potential for industrial companies, according to the companies. By implementing 'sphinx open online' through GFT, a wide range of scenarios for increasing quality and productivity are possible and quickly identified. This enables companies to initiate maintenance processes before a machine breaks down. Technical operations can also be informed as soon as limit values are exceeded. Thanks to rule-based process automation, users also benefit from a significant increase in productivity and resource efficiency.
in-integrierte informationssysteme, based in Constance, Germany, supports customers with software products and solutions in the areas of Industry 4.0, IoT, collaborative engineering and collaborative enterprise.
