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 AG finalizes acquisition of Thales Computers SA of France
Eching, Germany / Neuilly sur Seine, France, March 7, 2008 - Kontron AG, one of the world's leading suppliers of embedded computer systems, has finalized its announced acquisition of the French company Thales Computers SA, a subsidiary of the Thales Group. As already communicated by the respective companies, the acquisition has now received the required approvals from both the workforce representatives and the French ministry of Economy and Finance. This means Kontron Modular Computers GmbH, a 100 percent Kontron subsidiary based in Kaufbeuren, is now the owner of all shares outstanding in the Thales Computers SA.
Thales Computers SA will generate annual sales of approximately EUR 20 million, and has a workforce of around 100 employees. The company commands particular strengths in the high-end application areas in the government, aerospace, and transportation sectors. According to statements made by Ulrich Gehrmann, CEO of Kontron AG, the acquisition represents a strategic purchase for Kontron since it compensates Kontron for its disinvestment from its mobile, rugged embedded computer business in the US (Mobile Rugged business - MRD). This division was sold to Crane Co, Stamford, Connecticut, in August 2007.
