CONTACT Software sets its award-winning CONTACT Elements for IoT platform in the center of this year's Bosch Connected World and underlines its Open Source Engagement. Real-time applications show the potential of digital added value in the Internet of Things

The Bosch Connected World (BCW) is the leading trade fair for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Transformation.

More than 5,000 participants and 100 exhibitors are expected this year.

As a Gold Partner of this year's BCW, CONTACT Software shows how companies can implement IoT applications in their processes based on CONTACT Elements for IoT. For this CONTACT presents the combination of physical and virtual world using the example of a real beverage filling system in the field with its digital twin. The interactive visualization allows visitors to experience the potential of CONTACT's IoT solution: from initiating different maintenance operations or engineering change processes on the basis of evaluated real-time data to the resilient mapping of business processes.

IoT partnerships and Open Source Software are a central component of the BCW. Many of the protocols, standards and components used in the IoT are the result of cooperation in open source projects. CONTACT Software have been working together with the Eclipse Foundation for a longer time and is also represented at the booth of the Eclipse IoT Working Group this year.
