Race with power hogs

The software is designed for SAP environments and was developed in close cooperation with IFM as well as Qosit. At the beginning of the year, the successful Siegen-based companies GIB and Qosit announced their merger in the form of a joint venture.

Since then, the Essen-based IFM Group has also contributed its expertise to the alliance. For the three specialists in the fields of software development, IT infrastructure and automation technology, the cooperation was a necessary step toward linking the IT and automation worlds even more closely and optimally exploiting synergies.

The first results of the alliance can be admired at the GIB exhibition stand.

"We will demonstrate how power consumption and energy efficiency can be measured by sensor and analyzed and visualized in real time in the SAP Cloud.

The resulting findings are fed into the ERP system, where they form the basis for business evaluations that affect the bottom line. Our power guzzler - a Carrera track - makes the dry subject even more fun.

reveals Björn Dunkel, Chief Sales Officer GIB.

While GIB provides the ERP system, IFM supplies the sensor and automation technology. Qosit provides the connectivity as well as the processing of the acquired data.

"Our latest solution brings more transparency to process flows and lets those responsible derive recommendations for action from the results"

adds Dunkel.

This brings GIB another step closer to its goal of becoming the technology leader in the segment.
