The Autonomous is a global community shaping the future of safe autonomous mobility. On September 27, 2022, 500 participants met in Vienna’s magnificent Hofburg imperial palace for the annual The Autonomous Main Event. While this is an ideal stage for the “who is who” of the business community to network and exchange ideas, it is also a perfect opportunity to take stock of what is happening in the world of international research and development.

The EU-funded UN:IO study’s goal is to establish a sovereign communications network for Europe to enable new services and bring applications such as CCAM, agricultural IoT, or smart manufacturing to any location in Europe and globally.

A joint paper submitted by TTTech Labs Corporate Scientist Silviu Craciunas has been selected as one of three outstanding papers at the 30th International Conference on Real-Time Networks and Systems (RTNS 2022). The paper was co-authored with researchers from the Technical University of Denmark and the Beihang University in China.

In June 2022, the 3rd International Smart Factory Summit was held in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. The organizer Swiss Smart Factory (SSF) invited representatives from companies and research institutions active in industrial automation to the expansive Switzerland Innovation Park for three days of education, exchange, and networking.

The EU project Change2Twin* was started two years ago with the goal of supporting small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in their digitalization journey. In a virtual kick-off event hosted by TTTech in March 2022, 11 companies that secured funding for their digital twin via the project’s open call, discovered suitable technologies and met their mentors for the first time.

On April 19, 2022, Michael Häupl and Michael Stampfer of the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) visited the TTTech headquarters in Vienna for a friendly exchange.

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.

Swiss Smart Factory, a local innovation hub located in Biel, Switzerland, recently opened the doors to its new state-of-the art factory shopfloor to a network of European partners. The experimental manufacturing facility houses high-tech products from numerous technology partners, including TTTech, and is hoped to become the site of many future research projects in Industry 4.0 and the industrial IoT.

On June 30, 2021, the H2020 project Change2Twin launches its second Open Call to support European manufacturing companies in their digitization using digital twin technology. TTTech is a consortium member and provides TTTech Industrial’s open edge computing platform Nerve to one of the project's four pilots.

Digital twin is the trend of the hour in the industrial IoT. Many companies dream of having this digital reproduction of a product, process or production site at their disposal, due to the cost and resource saving potential it offers in the mid- to long term. However, especially SMEs often struggle with organizational and technological barriers as well as high setup costs.

The EU-funded project i4Q (Industrial Data Services for Quality Control in Smart Manufacturing) aims to improve quality control in manufacturing by developing IoT-based Reliable Industrial Data Services (RIDS). TTTech Industrial provides the technology for reliable communication which will help manufacturing businesses reduce cost and resources and ultimately increase Europe’s competitiveness in manufacturing.

Change2Twin is a European project, funded under the Horizon 2020 scheme, which supports manufacturing SMEs in their digitalization process by providing digital twin solutions.

The EU-funded research project Change2Twin aims to make digital twinning technology accessible to all European manufacturing SMEs A first Open Call is now accepting proposals from SMEs and midcaps that wish to have their digitalization potential assessed by local Digital Innovation Hubs A digital twin enables manufacturing companies to create digital copies of physical products, processes or even entire plants, offering enormous cost-saving potential

By 2050, the global population will have grown by 2 billion to a total of 9.7 billion, according to the United Nations. Increasing agricultural productivity and sustainable food production is critical to provide this population with food. Smart farming achieved through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can create higher precision agriculture to help meet this demand.
