Doing more with data

Data is changing our world. Endress+Hauser, too, intelligently draws on this resource – and thus time and again delivers the key differential.

The great unknown

It has been said that data can draw inferences between diaper purchases and beer sales. That it can displace oil and identify love. But can it, really? While there is a lot of talk about data – or more accurately, big data – there is a scarcity of knowledge. Before diving into the world of industrial data usage, we’d like to approach the subject from a popular science perspective.

Hunting for treasure

Data is key in the digital transformation of the process industry. But only rarely does data find its way beyond the confines of the devices, machinery and systems that generate it. Now that could all change, thanks to smart field instrumentation, digital interfaces and cloud-based analytical tools. The possibilities are endless, particularly when sensors in the physical world are linked up to artificial intelligence.

“Standards bring down barriers and costs”

Data helps industry to optimize production – and is essential
for the transition to a sustainable energy supply. But more
standardization is needed, say Frank Stührenberg, CEO of Phoenix
Contact, and Endress+Hauser CEO Matthias Altendorf.

Collaboration transcending borders

Roberto Lugli (hardware) and Christian Heim (software) developed a temperature transmitter across national borders.

An invisibility cloak

Cyberattacks targeting industrial plants can have grave consequences. And yet, many security concepts are either too complicated or too vulnerable. Cryptography experts at Endress+Hauser have developed the CPace standard, which uses simple passwords to provide a level of protection approaching that of certificate-based systems.

3 questions for Klaus Köhler

The life science industry manager at Endress+Hauser talks about the impact of the Corona pandemic.

So far – yet so near

For years, Endress+Hauser has been accelerating the pace of digitalization. This is now helping customers ranscend borders and simplify their daily activities. Here are three examples.

Leading from the front

Although the coronavirus pandemic poses challenges for companies, it also spurs developments. And that calls for leadership. Stefan Scheiber and Matthias Altendorf talk about their experiences and insights.

Turning point

Like a catalyst, the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated and reinforced developments in the process industry. Digitalization is leaping forward and economic balances are shifting. And once the immediate crisis has been overcome, long-term challenges will push their way back on to the agenda.
