About the project

What is Edge Computing?

Edge Computing supports you as a manufacturing company in increasing efficiency and optimising your production processes. By participating in the EU funding programme, you can discover how Industrial Edge from Siemens can help you in your individual use case to transform data into valuable information and develop new business models.

Offer

Experience how modern technologies can make your production processes more sustainable and efficient!

 

What to expect

 

  • 1-day-workshop – free of charge!
    Immerse yourself in the world of energy management and find out how Industrial Edge can optimise your production processes.
  • Combined theory & practise
    Learn the basics and apply your knowledge directly in a practical hands-on example.
  • Flexibility
    Choose between a virtual workshop or a face-to-face workshop at the WvSC.

Presence highlight at the WvSC: Use case ‘CO2 footprint in the production environment’

 

In the workshop, we demonstrate in a practical way how you can analyse and optimise energy flows. See live how data from machines such as CNC milling machines can be recorded in real time and used to make informed decisions.

Your benefit: Starter pack and support included!
All workshop participants receive

  • An Industrial Edge starter pack (hardware & software) – free of charge!
  • Up to 1.5 days of free commissioning support to set up your system optimally.

Who is the workshop suitable for?
This offer is aimed at employees of small and medium-sized companies based in Germany who want to digitalise their production processes and make them more sustainable.

Register now and shape the future!
Register today and secure your place in the free workshop. Together we will take your production to the next level!

 

The EU funding programme IPCEI-CIS aims to create a powerful and sustainable multi-provider cloud edge continuum for Europe. Kicks for Edge contributes to identifying requirements for industrial applications in the field of edge and cloud technologies in small and medium-sized enterprises in Germany and deriving new technological developments from them.
