Analog becomes digital – Retrofit as a smart sustainability principle.
In many business areas, the digitalization process has significantly increased technical requirements. For an existing machine, this means: if one wishes to continue using it for sustainability reasons and not dispose of it, the existing components are replaced with modern parts.

Sparks in explosion-proof areas: IoT solution SpillGuard® connect ensures safety!

HK.SYSTEMS: Sparks from explosion-proof rooms

SpillGuard® connect is the first self-sufficient digitized leakage warning system: All detectors can be centrally monitored via a web application. In the event of a leak, individually configured alarm messages digitally transmit unambiguous alarms via SMS and/or email to various devices such as smartphones, tablets, and desktop PCs.

Artificial Intelligence: A True Game Changer for IoT Projects

Artificial Intelligence: A True Game Changer for IoT Projects

Ovidiu Ursachi is our HK.SYSTEMS expert for Artificial Intelligence: “I am a big fan of continuous learning—constantly trying to find new ways, come up with new solutions and ideas, and connect them. The flexible use of the latest IoT technologies such as AI and machine learning plays a crucial role here: Used correctly, they give us and our customers a significant competitive edge.”

IoT made real – From idea to product

HK.SYSTEMS: From idea to product

This video is about the first step in the IoT process chain: the development of IoT devices. Our colleagues Jens Arend and Jens Schnur provide insight into our work – from product idea and customer requirements, through design, construction, and prototype building, to series production.

Sensors for IoT Projects: Selection Is Key

Sensorik für IoT-Projekte

Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industrie 4.0, Digital Factory: these megatrends are unthinkable without one important detail—the right sensors. As interfaces to the outside world, sensors make pioneering IoT applications possible in the first place. Modern industrial facilities? Smart homes? Mobility of the future? Simply not feasible without the right sensors. The right sensors play an often inconspicuous yet all the more important role: they collect data and information that is subsequently analyzed.
