January 22, 2020 --- The HARTING Technology Group and Expleo concluded a cooperation agreement at the SPS Trade Fair 2019 in Nuremberg. The agreement was signed by Philip Harting, Chairman of the Board of the HARTING Technology Group, and Peter Seidenschwang, Head of Industry at Expleo Germany GmbH. HARTING is offering the modular edge computing MICA, which has been designed according to industrial standards for multiple industrial applications, and Expleo is contributing its know-how in connectivity and data-scientific competence.
The joint memorandum of understanding by the management of both companies is the culmination of many years of cooperation in MICA.network, the user organization supporting HARTING’s edge computing system MICA. Expleo has been involved in the network since 2016, working on the development of a solution for the process and operational optimization of machines and production systems. On the basis of compiled data, the SmartANIMO application from Expleo can independently learn the standard behaviour of connected production lines and individual machines and use this know-how to identify deviations in the process without manual interventions. MICA also enables Expleo to implement the solution in industrial enviroments and to retrofit existing production systems non-invasive
