Andre Courchesne – Consultant: Connected CO2 sensors
My idea was a small wifi desktop sensor (could also be wall-mounted) that takes CO2, humidity and temperature readings every 15 minutes and sends the data to a centralized cloud server. From a portal anyone authorized can see the measurement (direct values or graphs) and also be alerted on programmable value thresholds. This way there is no human intervention required and the measurement is continuous and there is a history so results of actions taken to improve the ventilation are observed from the data. This lead to the birth of co2.click!

Transition Technologies PSC: SkillWorx
SkillWorx is a complex set of solutions for the industrial use of assisted reality. It offers a hands-free experience based on the RealWear HMT-1 headset. Thanks to the direct connection to the PTC ThingWorx platform and the use of a proprietary solution based on spatial intelligence, the device recognizes employee’s location and shows them which tasks, where, and how should be performed. It provides flawlessly matched, voice-controlled step-by-step sequences and technical guidance, allowing the user to work uninterruptedly and focus on the task. As a result, it significantly reduces the risk of making a mistake, even for an employee who is just learning.

q.beyond AG: EasyEdge – The universal solution for networking industrial machines
With IIoT technology from q.beyond AG, the manufacturer can analyse the status of all machines in use by its customers worldwide in real time in Cologne. But in addition to remote access, Schütte offers a system for production and machine data acquisition and visualisation – in order to be able to initiate maintenance at an early stage and to identify sources of error more easily. In addition, this system offers the customer the possibility to optimise his machine and thus to operate it more efficiently. For this purpose, the machine data is recorded directly at the machine, stored in a local database, processed and displayed via a visualisation tool. In addition, remote access to the individual machine controls is to be possible via the solution in order to import software updates and error corrections.
