Automation & Autonomy

Welcome to the latest edition of CEO Talks, TTTECH’s quarterly format where we explore the technologies and trends shaping our company and the industries we serve. Over the past year, we’ve discussed topics ranging from connectivity and sustainability to edge computing and smart farming - each reflecting TTTECH’s commitment to safe, intelligent systems across sectors.

As part of our 25th anniversary campaign #IMPACT25 we want to showcase the impact of innovation within our ecosystem. One highlight of the campaign is ‘joint impact’, where we engage with our customers and partners to discuss their business, the applications of the future, and the solutions TTTECH provides in collaboration with them.

As part of TTTECH’s #IMPACT25 campaign, we are proud to spotlight our long-standing partnership with Rosenbauer, a global leader in firefighting and disaster protection systems. For over ten years, TTControl has been a strategic technology partner to Rosenbauer, supporting the development of safe, reliable, and future-ready firefighting vehicles.  

As part of our #IMPACT25 campaign, we are proud to highlight the long-standing collaboration between Prinoth and TTControl, a partnership that has driven innovation in the snow groomer industry for nearly 25 years. Prinoth, headquartered in Sterzing/Vipiteno, Italy, is a global leader in off-road technology, specializing in snow grooming, crawler carriers, and vegetation management equipment.

As part of our #IMPACT25 campaign, we are proud to highlight the long-standing collaboration between TTControl and PALFINGER, a global leader in innovative crane and lifting solutions. Since 2011, TTControl, a joint venture of TTTech and HYDAC International, has been a strategic partner for PALFINGER, providing cutting-edge control systems that drive the company's advanced machinery.

Welcome to the latest edition of our CEO Talks. This time, we are talking about Advanced Air Mobility, an exciting new segment in the aerospace sector. When TTTech started its aerospace business more than 25 years ago, Advanced Air Mobility was still an application for the future, but now it has developed into a new, exciting market segment.

The topic of safe and secure automation and autonomy, as well as the collaboration within and between ecosystems ties in with our “Joint Impact” initiative that is part of our anniversary campaign #IMPACT25. Looking beyond one's industry segment is always a good approach to gaining a broader perspective and discovering new insights.

For this brand-new edition of our CEO Talks, TTTech CEO and Co-Founder Georg Kopetz welcomed a very special guest: Dirk Linzmeier, CEO of TTTech Auto. Dirk has more than 20 years’ experience in the automotive industry and joined TTTech Auto in 2022.

Within the framework of the ECSEL-JU project Aggregate Farming in the Cloud (AFarCloud), a virtual terminal was developed that can help turn existing tractors into smart machines, capable of semi-autonomous operation. This innovation could make agriculture more sustainable and counteract skilled labor shortage in rural areas.

On October 20, TTTech CEO and co-founder Georg Kopetz participated in the Annual Meeting of the Junge Industrie, the youth branch of the Federation of Austrian Industries. In his keynote, he tackled the question: how can we turn Austria, and especially Vienna, into an international innovation hot spot?

At “The Autonomous” event in Vienna, an international group of experts discussed how EC funding contributes to tackling the biggest safety challenges in autonomous mobility.

Car and rail Over-the-Air software updates may soon become safer and more secure thanks to the results of the EU-funded UP2DATE project. The first project milestones were presented to the Industrial Advisory Board in an online conference this summer.
