Internet of Things

The Internet of Things links the virtual world with the real one. More and more equipment, goods and everyday objects are equipped with sensors and wireless chips to communicate directly and autonomously with each other and thus can support people or businesses in their activities.

The endeavor is, or should always be, to improve our lives. What used to be dependent from the control of human influence may be automated or can be assisted with the help of the IoT. The network becomes more „intelligent“, may be self-configurable and can control systems. As a result many processes in industry as well as in our lives will change decisively.

Strengthen customer relationships

With the Internet of Things, you have the opportunity to strengthen your customer relationships and promote interactions with your customers. So you may go from a single transaction relationship with individual interactions with your customers to a continuous interaction, which should have a positive effect on customer loyalty and sustainability. Thereby you get direct input from your customers and how they benefit from your products. You get not only a deeper insight into the use of your products, but can also build new services and thus offer more added value to your customers.

Platform is critical

With cloud-based services, you can also build new applications faster. However it is important that these are open and support a broad ecosystem and preferably industry-specific solutions.

Designing scalable architectures for reuse in Embedded Software Engineering is a challenge. The term Internet of Things (IoT) has become widely used in recent years. Google dictionary defines it as: Internet of things - the interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data. In this paper we present a way to architect systems for this paradigma of connected things.

Customers about our services

Rhapsody Training Feedback

The trainer was very well prepared, has an excellent overview and deep knowledge about the tool and about our surrounding processes (A-Spice) and methods.

Large Automotive Supplier

Mettler Toledo AG

„Development in the embedded area should be platform independent and the used tools should support this!“

Wolfgang Boos

Head Software Development

Bernina International AG

„The architecture must be set up in the right way and in conformity with the requirements of model driven development – right from the beginning! I strongly recommend to seek for the support of an external, experienced Rhapsody specialist as for example supplied by EVOCEAN and to model the architecture together.“

Giovanni Annunzio

System Architect

Kern AG

„Even if the change to Rhapsody required at first additional investment and effort – we have never regretted our decision. The fully automatic code generation from the model makes our life easier!“

Andreas Dubach

Head of Development Systems

Bernina International AG

„In earlier days, we launched one new product model every year – today several thanx to re-use, which also reduces the time needed for testing significantly."

„I would recommend Rhapsody anytime – by using Rhapsody I can reach a new level of programming and efficiency.“

Wolfgang Boos

Head Software Development

Phonak Communication AG

„Model Driven Development with Rational Rhapsody® was a critical success factor for developing inspiro within the required schedule and market needs. Thanks to EVOCEAN's support, we were able to implement the tool quickly and apply the methodology effectively."

Rainer Platz

Head of R&D

Rhapsody Training Feedback

I was satisfied with everything. This was the best training I ever attended.

Schleuniger AG

„Thanks to the fully automatic code generation with Rhapsody® we could accelerate the software development.“

Thomas Nyffenegger

Team Lead Software

Bernina International AG

„Thanks to the models we can visualise new functions and dependencies. A picture says more than a 1'000 words and the graphically modelled abstraction makes life much easier for us developers. At the same time, the automatic code generation based on the models takes over a substantial part of our work!“

Digital Adoption

Digital Adoption Platforms to empower the user in the digital World

Digital interaction in the workplace and also in everyday life is becoming more and more the status quo. At the same time excellent user experience and promoting feedback is becoming ever more important. This is especially true for organizations to learn faster as they evolve at increasing pace.

Systems Engineering

Products are becoming more and more complex and interconnected. With the uprising of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the opportunities given by the digitalisation of the Product Lifecycle, aka. Digital Transformation and Digital Twin, addressing better ways is becoming ever more important. To address this we need an inutitive, lean way which fosters reuse. Our approach Serenity is based on a seamless Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). This breaking with todays status quo and is our way to answer this challenge . 

Industry 4.0

With respect to the ongoing digitalization and automation in manufacturing, the concept of “Industry 4.0” goes one step further and is often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution. It applies the principles of the IoT to all processes in an industrial environment and is, in accordance with the definition of industry leader IBM, a synonym for a comprehensive networking of production and supply chains within and outside the company. The goal is a complete intelligent networking of all objects in a production environment and the integration of largely autonomous processes; taking place – vertically for the control and monitoring of machines and plants, horizontally within the value chains, as well as along the entire life cycle of products.

More and more devices will communicate with each other and collect more and more data with sensors providing a hitherto unknown extent of data for analysis. The aim is to shorten delivery times and gain even more flexibility in terms of customer requirements.

Embedded systems that control, regulate or supervise technical processes, are thus increasingly becoming a key driver of product innovation. In many industries, product differentiation is based ever more to a large extent on the software components of these systems. However, their complexity and networking as well as the requirements for safety and reliability are constantly increasing. In line with these developments in terms of value share of software in the products, in production and in the supply chains of innovative industries, this will increase significantly. The software development becomes thus even more important and will further change substantiually. In many companies, the development of new core competencies will increase even more (internally or with partners). The lean orchestration of the development work will become ever more important as developement teams will be distributed increasingly around the globe and further coordination with external partners and suppliers will become more strategic and interlaced. The optimized team collaboration will enable more flexible software development, allowing a better control of risks and changes and will help to increase efficiency by correlating important functions with the business strategy.
