#Elektronikschrott von einem Tag zum anderen - wird es in Zukunft häufiger geben: So wird aus der smarten #Homefarm schnell ein ganz gewöhnlicher #Blumentopf mit Stromanschluss für knapp 600 USD. Daher besser lieber vorher überlegen, in welche #IoT Device man sein Geld investiert: "However, that doesn't provide much clarity to people who may have invested in #AeroGarden's Wi-Fi-enabled Bounty and Farm models. The company refreshed both lines in 2020, with the Farm line starting at $595 at the time. The gardens also marketed compatibility with Amazon Alexa. The gardens will still work without the app, but remote control features most likely won't whenever the app ultimately shuts down." "Some users have requested that AeroGarden's app protocol be open-sourced so that customers could continue to get full functionality of their AeroGardens, but much like other discontinued hardware, no such plans have been announced. While open-sourcing could help some AeroGardens maintain its value and better avoid becoming e-waste, there's also risk of the devices being hacked for alternative purposes that Scotts Miracle-Gro may not want to be associated with." https://lnkd.in/eJ2N9_vD

It is amazing how EtherCAT has been growing within the industrial automation market. 14+ years ago the scenario was dominated by PROFINET; EtherNet/IP was getting more and more installed base from Modbus TCP, the same way Modicon PLCs where replaced by Rockwell Automation in the 90s and early 2000s. A good strategical movement right now for none Rockwell Automation System Integrators could be to adapt and adopt EtherCAT brands like Beckhoff. My next move would be to integrate Beckhoff PC based controllers for multiple axis control and test if the performance of the controllers with third party servos via EtherCAT; there are infinite possibilities to make high performance architectures with competitive prices keeping the techonology/solution at the highest level. #ethercat #motioncontrol #automation

1KOMMA5° is one of the very rare companies that achieves a trinity of advantages. Most other companies achieve only one. Here they are 👇 🙋‍♂️ Good for the customers: Our customers get the cheapest electricity and can save a ton of money the more they electrify (EV and Heatpump). 🌎 Good for the environment: Electricity is not only cheap but renewable. (100% sun from the roof and mostly wind and sun from the grid). Less CO2 is emitted and the energy mix becomes greener. 🏢 Good for the company: 1KOMMA5° has a working and profitable business model and doesn’t rely on a “do good for the environment” donation scheme, meaning faster scale with more impact. Some companies achieve two out of three which is already great. However many companies only achieve one. 👨‍💻 Clearly I absolute love being a part of that mission by building the most innovative power tariff out there with an awesome team: #dynamicPulse. 📺 See what a day with our products looks like below (in German). The best is yet to come 🚀 🙌 Bastian Twilling Doreen Sacker Meikel Ratz Niklas Hansen Tobias Kleine Gabriel Lesjak Sascha Schnorbach Barbara Wittenberg Julien Sander Jannik Schall and many more 💜

How important is Enterprise Architecture for a successful Digitalization ??? In the January 2025 edition of Manager Magazin I explain how Enterprise Architecture became a success criterion for E.ON's digital transformation. As the energy sector is massively transforming the role of EA becomes more and more important or even decisive, when it comes to cloudification, application modernization and harmonization, standardization of data and systems and "make or buy" decisions. The edition also features: ▶️ The transformational power of Enterprise Architecture by Dr. Volker Barent and Jochen Fauser (Deloitte). ▶️ How Enterprise Architecture drives the simplification and streamlining of the IT landscape at Evonik by Gunnar Wieder (Evonik) and Christian Plath (Deloitte) ▶️ Digitalization in the aviation sector by Christian Spannbauer (Lufthansa Group) and Christoph Fuchs (Deloitte). Very engaging insights from different industries. 👉 Check out the full EAM special on the Manager Magazin's website [https://lnkd.in/eRCjeRKD]. 👉 Or download the specific article [https://lnkd.in/eEfGKsxr]. #EnterpriseArchitecture #ManagerMagazin #EON #Evonik #Lufthansa #Deloitte

Simply explained: #iPEN is an AppStore for DSOs - gives access to solutions that streamline their processes and make their grid ready for the #energytransition. Solutions that, for example, make grid connection, monitoring or inspection much easier than before thanks to greater transparency and automation. Data and AI are a cornerstone in making this possible.

Half-time of the Siemens stage program at #HM24 under the motto "Go Digital, Become Sustainable". ⏱ Three of many highlights so far were singled out by Cedrik Neike, CEO Siemens Industry, and Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO Siemens Digital Industries Software, this year's booth captain: 1. Customer-centric focus 🎯 - In recent years, Siemens was used to have different booths for hardware and software at HANNOVER MESSE. This year, we experience one solution-oriented booth, targeting individual customer problems and addressing vertical-specific solutions. Focus has shifted from technology-centricity and product show-offs towards customer-centricity and customer journey optimization. 2. Sustainability takes center stage 🌳 - Customers are demanding it, capital is flowing towards it, and reporting and compliance commitments are being made. Sustainability has become a major driver in the industry and is part of every element of this year's show. It's time for companies to become sustainable Digital Enterprises by combining the real and digital worlds, leveraging insights from holistic data flows across the entire value chain. 3. Scaling and democratizing AI 💻 - Generative AI is accelerating Digital Transformation even faster and is transforming industry. Scaling AI presents a key challenge, though. Therefore, Siemens aims to make it accessible to everyone by rolling out the first GenAI-powered product for engineering in an industrial environment. The 'Industrial Copilot' revolutionizes human-machine collaboration by enabling people to enhance efficiency and speed up processes. It accelerates the generation of complex automation code, reduces development times, and increases productivity. The Industrial Copilot will be available for download from the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace starting in summer 2024. You dont't want to miss further insights? Just tune in to the remaining stage program until Friday - please find the link in the comment. 👇 [Sponsored] #TransformTheEveryday #DigitalTransformation #DigitalEnterprise #Sustainability #AI #Sie_HM

I am excited to share that I recently participated in an episode of the #DigitalIndustryLeaders Community Podcast, where I discussed the evolution and revolution of state-of-the-art IT infrastructure solutions. In this episode, hosted by #NicoStein, key topics we covered include: 1. How global trends like #AI and #blockchain are influencing IT infrastructure requirements. 2. The role of #digitaltwin technology in improving efficiency from planning to maintenance. 3. Strategies for managing the growing demands for data security and infrastructure. 4. How Rittal embodies true innovation with over 1,900 patents 5. The impact of the #EnergyEfficiencyAct on the industry. Because the discussion was in German, I will later elaborate on some key elements of the discussion in writing.

Back to RWTH Aachen University… … always a pleasure meeting again my former colleagues and students. Talking about the hydrogen economy, on projects, technology, challenges and opportunities. And all, let’s remember the painful System Integration for renewables… who is still aware on fault ride through requirements, reactive power injection, voltage stabilization measures etc for wind turbines and parks? On testing and certification? All of that we managed already once… and we will also manage for electrolyzers… but we need to be pragmatic, focused and collaborative. By all parties involved! And we need to think in system solutions rather than on component level only. I am looking forward to making this happen… technology, testing and verification is now what we need.

This week I had the pleasure to speak at the Mannheim Business School in a learning session with #MBA students. Thank you, Armin Heinzl, Prof. Dr. for hosting me!  We discussed three key questions and priorities for @Schneider Electric in the digital age: 1. How can we leverage digital #platforming and network effects to create value for our customers and partners? 2. How can we accelerate the energy transition and empower the rise of #prosumers, who both consume and produce energy? 3. How can we provision #AI sustainably in data centers, today and in the future? I was impressed by the curiosity, engagement, and all the thoughtful questions. Now, let me ask all of you a question: Which of these 3 topics do you find most interesting and why? Looking forward to your comments!

Strong collaboration drives continuous improvement. We can only ensure a seamless experience for our customers when businesses and technology teams go hand in hand.   Recently, I went back to my roots within the company and visited E.ON Deutschland where my journey at E.ON initially started five years ago. It was exciting to discuss with Sandra Rauch and her team how their digital key initiatives are progressing and to see the impact they are having in driving customer satisfaction.    Let me share a few thoughts: ❯ As technology is constantly evolving, re-think concepts which might not worked couple years ago. I would definitively put chatbots into this bucket. While the Q&A based ones were never a great experience, the new generation is definitively able to create customer value. ❯ Think about scaling right from the beginning. While we often start with an MVP, keep the required ability to scale always in mind (e.g. works for 10M customers). Like security, it usually is not a good practice to make it "secure" or "scalable" afterwards. ❯ Always work cross-group. Within technology teams, but even more important across business and technical teams. Our teams at E.ON Germany have an amazing track record here and I always take some good practices and learnings with me.   Thanks to everyone involved in an inspiring exchange and for hosting me. Looking forward to future exchanges and the continued success! #CustomerExperience #BusinessAndIT #Innovation #Digitization #DigitalTransformation

Four connected positive thoughts for the day. First: Solar is soon going to be the cheapest electricity source world-wide finds this (https://lnkd.in/edxgJQKw) 2023 Nature study. Second: "We find that, due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy, a global irreversible solar tipping point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to dominate global electricity markets, without any further climate policies." This is especially heart-warming, less than 100 days until Germany will probably elect a Chancellor who wants to take down wind turbines because they are ugly and instead plans to reevaluate nuclear. Third: The study also points out that "Uncertainties arise, however, over grid stability in a renewables-dominated power system, ..." In other words: We will need way better means to transport and store that cheap solar energy. I'd say this is about the right time for cylib to receive a two-digit million Euro grant from NRW's Ministry of Economic Affairs to build a FOAK battery recycling plant (https://lnkd.in/eGyc7bJD). Fourth and finally: Co-founding aedifion seven years ago, what intrigued me most was the potential to leverage the already existing building stock as a (short-term) battery by increasing, shifting, or shedding load. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates 90 Bn m2 global floor area in advanced economies. Roughly 40% of that is commercial real estate of which 20-30% has building automation technology with plug&play connectivity. AI-based optimization of building operations (think: when and how to heat, cool, vent and for how long), cannot only decrease a building's energy consumption by up to 40% but, more importantly, tap into its flexible load. We can defensively assume 1W of flexible load per m2. That's a 90Bn m2 x 40% x 30% x 1W/m2 ~= 11 GW (short-term) battery sitting right there. And even better: it's already distributed world-wide. Let's do it.
