Software AG, a leader in enterprise management software, and its partners are set to show professionals how to bring IT out of the basement and make it their business with impressive use cases at an international computer expo.

The CeBIT 2015 will run from March 16 to 20 at the Hanover Fairground in Germany.

Using the steel industry as an example, the firm will present the successful implementation of IT in an increasingly networked industry (Industry 4.0).

Steel is everywhere, from paperclips to power poles. About 3.5 million people work in steel-intensive industries in Germany alone and steel is a high-tech product that generates huge masses of data in its processing—Big Steel Data.

Over the period of a year, a complex network of laser, ultrasound, video, vibration and temperature sensors for quality monitoring produce more than 100 TB of process data in a single steel-producing company which is equivalent to the content of more than 30 million telephone books.

Software AG will show with the iProdict research project, a joint project with consortium partners that is currently in its initial phase, how this intelligent data can be evaluated and made available to the production chain in real time to prevent outages, reduced quality and rejects.

Software AG and its university partner RWTH Aachen will present another example of truly life-saving apps at CeBIT: sudden cardiac arrest, which is one of the most frequent causes of death in Europe.

No other emergency is as time critical, because permanent brain damage can occur a mere three minutes after the heart stops beating. The first aider notification system ‘Livesapp’, developed by the IMA institute at RWTH Aachen University, steps in here to improve the survival rate among victims.

It aims to significantly increase the number of cases where CPR is administered before professional emergency services arrive. When a call is placed to the emergency number, potential first aiders who are in the vicinity and have medical training are automatically notified via the Livesapp.

Not only will the system identify first aiders and trained laypeople, it will also map the shortest route to the victim’s location using the mobile device to ensure that first aid can be started as quickly as possible—before emergency medical services can even arrive.

Eric Duffaut, chief customer officer and board member said: “At Software AG, partnering is not a choice. The choice has been made! We do value our ecosystem of partners who add industry-specific expertise and act as an extension of Software AG to deliver together seamless connectivity and adaptive game-changing applications to customers who want to innovate to stand out in the digital world. We are simply better together!”

The partners presenting their solutions at the Software AG’s booth include Amazon Web Services; CrossVista; Cumulocity; FACT; IDS Scheer Consulting; nterra integration; Pepperl + Fuchs; Roundcube; Salesforce; and Telefónica Deutschland Holding. - TradeArabia News Service
