Digitization has reached the heart of society and is impacting everything. The significance of IT is changing entirely because it supports real-time decision-making in an increasingly complex, fast-paced business world. As such, IT is gaining importance and influence in modern business: Digitization is becoming a key factor for success. At CeBIT 2015, Software AG and its partners will show visiting professionals how to bring IT out of the basement and make it their business with impressive use cases.
Smart Big Data meets Big Steel: Smart Big Steel
Using the steel industry as an example, Software AG is presenting the successful implementation of IT in an increasingly networked industry (Industry 4.0). Steel is everywhere, from paperclips to power poles: Cars are made of 63 percent steel. It is an indispensable material in generating energy, and a modern transportation infrastructure with streets, bridges and railways would be unthinkable without steel. 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. This is equivalent to the content of more than 30 million telephone books. How does Big Steel become Smart Steel - in other words, how is this intelligent data evaluated and made available to the production chain in real time to prevent outages, reduced quality and rejects? Software AG will show the crowds at CeBIT with the iProdict research project, a joint project with consortium partners1 that is currently in its initial phase.
Big Help - saving lives with the Livesapp
Software AG and its university partner RWTH Aachen will present another example of truly life-saving apps at CeBIT. Hopefully it won't happen to anyone at CeBIT: sudden cardiac arrest. It 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. The goal: to significantly increase the number of cases where CPR is administered before professional emergency services arrive. How does it work? 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 does the system identify first aiders and trained laypeople, it also maps 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. This app will be demonstrated on an artificial dummy victim at the Software AG booth in partnership with the RWTH Aachen University.
