IoT
One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec
At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.
Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.
Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

Kontron advances market position
2002 sales rise by 14 percent to EUR 215 millionEUR 0.7 profit for the year and liquidity of EUR 70 millionOutlook: Investment in future markets and considerably enhanced earningsOperating in a very difficult general environment, Kontron AG has succeeded in expanding its market position in 2002. Following the merger with JUMPtec Industrielle Computertechnik AG (consolidated as per July 3, 2002), sales rose by 14 percent over 2001 from EUR 189 million to EUR 215 million. Gross margin was increased by 1.3 percent to 38.8 percent. At EUR 22.4 (previous year: EUR 15.5 million) operative cash flow was up to a record level. Orders on hand, mainly due to the consolidation effects, increased from EUR 53 million at the end of 2001 to EUR 94 million by the end of 2002. On EBIT of EUR 1.6 (previous year: EUR 8.5 million) profit for the year came in at EUR 0.7 million (previous year: EUR 3.7 million). Performance was burdened by around EUR 0.8 million resulting from currency losses and EUR 3.9 million of special write-offs on financial assets and one-time restructuring costs of EUR 2.9 million. In the past business year the assets of the Kontron Group increased by EUR 15 million to EUR 304 million, whereby the share of equity was bolstered from 66 percent to 73 percent. Liquid assets were recorded at EUR 46 million, while total liquidity stood at over EUR 70 million. After deduction of bank loans the net cash assets in 2002 were considerably strengthened from EUR 11 million to EUR 18 million. In spite of the very poor general conditions Kontron nevertheless anticipates posting light sales gains in 2003 and a considerably enhanced EBIT sales margin of between 3 and 5 %. Kontron will be focusing investments in joint ventures with local partners operating on the future growth markets of China and East Europe. The aim is to ramp up the sales share of these markets from the present 9 percent to 15 percent of total Group sales.
