IDC and Atos present a current study on the status of digitalization in German SMEs. It is clear that the digital infrastructure urgently needs to be improved in order to remain competitive.
The technical basis of modern real-time image analysis is the combination of video cameras and edge servers. In automated quality control, this technology finds production errors - not least thanks to artificial intelligence.
The IoT has changed the requirements for processing data provided by machine sensors and actuators. This needs to happen as quickly as possible - preferably where the data is generated. Edge nodes and swarm computing systems take on this task.

Atos, Siemens and Rittal are now entering into a partnership to enable the rapid development of IT infrastructures with high real-time data volumes.
Industry can benefit from the extreme computing power of quantum computers in the future. Companies can already use simulators to familiarize themselves with the technology, as Philippe Duluc, CTO for Big Data and Security at Atos, explains.
The first cloud-based collaboration platform for SMEs in the manufacturing industry: this is the goal of the EU-funded C2NET consortium led by Atos.

Atos is providing the first applications for the Mindsphere IoT operating system from Siemens. The apps, which are available immediately, are designed for the mobile collection and analysis of machine data.
Handy, portable, inexpensive and intuitive to use: there are many reasons for companies to use mobile devices as a communication tool. However, there are a few points to bear in mind when introducing a sustainable smart mobility concept.
