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.

Ad Hoc: Kontron AG records substantial gains in Q1 sales and earnings

EUR 86.6 million sales 39% above same period last year
EUR 5.1 million EBIT 45% above prior year period
EUR 112 million record order intake 60% above previous year period

Eching, Munich, May 2, 2006. Kontron AG, one of the worlds leading
manufacturers of embedded computer systems, generated sales of EUR 86.6
million in the first quarter of 2006. This represents a gain of 39 percent over the
same period last year (EUR 62.3 million). Orders on hand, which had already
reached a record level on December 31, 2005, at a total of EUR 151 million, once
again set a new record in company history at EUR 176 million. Order entry in the
first quarter amounted to EUR 112 million by comparison with just under EUR 70
million in the prior year period. This represents a gain of 60 percent. In the first
quarter, operating earnings (EBIT) rose by a disproportionate measure against
sales growth, by 45 percent to EUR 5.1 million, over EUR 3.5 million in the same
period last year. Surplus for the period increased accordingly to EUR 3.4 million
over EUR 2.6 million in the first quarter of 2005.
Operating cash flow, which was recorded at EUR -2.6 million in the same period
last year, rose to EUR 5.4 million. This boosted net liquidity in the first quarter by
EUR 3.7 million to 17.7 million, while the cash and liquid funds position rose to
EUR 56.5 million. Kontron AG management confirmed the forecast of achieving a
minimum of 10 percent sales growth, and even stronger earnings (EBIT) growth
in the 2006 business year. In this context, the corporation intends to fully
concentrate on organic growth and increase liquidity, without any further
acquisitions.
