HARTING announces kickoff of MICA network

July 5, 2016 – The collaborative MICA network has commenced its activities. Numerous users, providers and developers now met for the first time on Thursday at the Robotation Academy in Hannover. The network aims to further develop and raise the profile of ‘Industry 4.0’ and IoT applications.
“The community seeks to encourage regular exchange between all participants, very much in line with the principle of collaborative networking,” remarked Dr. Jan Regtmeier, Director of Product Management at HARTING IT Software Development.
A total of 14 companies in the MICA network are already relying on MICA as a future-oriented basis for their own system solutions and wish to develop it as part of the MICA network, as they highlighted in various presentations at the inaugural event. These companies include akquinet [email protected], Berner & Mattner Systemtechnik, Cybus, Dimension Data, Favendo, Nemetris, IMMS, iTiZZimo, Logi.cals, PCO, Salt and Pepper, SDI Project Automation and TechniaTranscat.
The participating companies contribute expertise and decades of experience from a wide range of sectors of industry covering intralogistics, the supply chain, decentral MES solutions, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, the integration of existing machinery and plant fleets into modern IT systems, after-sales service, improvement of machinery efficiency, wireless sensor networks and augmented reality.
All solutions benefit from MICA’s concept of open hardware and software. Users can develop and enhance such solutions themselves or rely on existing modules through collaboration in the MICA.network.
The founding members are seeking to drive forward ideas about MICA. User meetings and the development of joint offerings and marketing activities are planned.
