Five AI trends for 2024
What can we expect in terms of artificial intelligence in 2024? In a blog post, Liz Centoni from Cisco describes five areas that will become increasingly important in relation to AI.

Ethernet (www.computer-automation.de)
The Ultra Ethernet Consortium
The Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC), which has now been launched, aims to establish a new Ethernet-based communication stack architecture to meet the growing demands on networks for AI & High Performance Computing.

Merging IT and OT (www.industrial-production.de)
A sustainable foundation for the industry
The networks are growing together - this refers to the ongoing merging of IT and OT. Christian Korff, Managing Director Global Accounts and Member of the Management Board, Cisco Germany, explains the challenges and levers involved.

Cisco (www.computer-automation.de)
Germany is lagging behind in multi-cloud
The latest study by Cisco proves it: Germany is lagging behind when it comes to the use of multiple clouds. While a quarter of all companies worldwide use more than 20 different SaaS providers on average, only a fifth do so in Germany.

Private 5G (www.computer-automation.de)
Cisco and NTT pull together
NTT and Cisco have now announced the plans for their collaboration. The aim is to promote private 5G in the automotive, logistics, retail, public sector and healthcare sectors.

IDC study on IIoT (www.computer-automation.de)
IIoT usage at a low level
A recent study by IDC shows: There are only a few pioneers and many laggards for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in Germany. Only 10 percent of industrial companies are carrying out comprehensive IIoT projects, with a further 10 percent doing so to a limited extent.

AI-controlled predictive maintenance
Unplanned network outages are poison for business processes. Cisco is now tackling this problem with an AI-based technology for predicting and potentially resolving network problems.

Cisco 'Security Outcomes Study (www.computer-automation.de)
German IT security outdated
Almost half of the security technologies used in German companies are outdated and poorly prepared for cyber incidents. This is the result of the 'Security Outcomes Study' by Cisco.

Cisco (www.computer-automation.de)
Application at the IoT edge
Cisco is expanding its industrial router portfolio: three Catalyst 5G industrial routers are used to securely connect mobile and stationary systems. The routers are based on Cisco IOS XE to extend the corporate network and SD-WAN to the edge.

5G (www.computer-automation.de)
Mobile data traffic quadruples
Mobile data traffic in Germany is growing faster than the speed of mobile networks. This means that the expansion of 5G networks is becoming increasingly important.

Cisco Systems (www.computer-automation.de)
On the trail of threats
Cisco presents an application designed to close the gap between IT and OT. AI technology helps to identify threats when monitoring networks.

OPC Foundation (www.computer-automation.de)
The UN of automation
What role will the Ethernet standard TSN play in the future activities of the OPC Foundation? The OPC Foundation provided answers to this question at a press conference at SPS IPC Drives.

Cooperation (www.industrial-production.de)
Omron and Cisco improve IoT security in factories
Omron is working with Cisco to further improve IoT security in factories. As part of the cooperation, Cisco's network and security technologies will be integrated into Omron's PLCs.

OPC UA plus TSN (www.computer-automation.de)
Rockwell Automation joins the "shapers"
Rockwell Automation is now joining the "Shaper" group of companies to develop a communication solution for real-time and sensor-to-cloud applications in the industrial environment.

Digital transformation / IBM (www.computer-automation.de)
Intelligence for the port of Rotterdam
From the largest port in Europe to the smartest in the world: that is the goal of the cooperation between the Port of Rotterdam Authority and IBM. This is to be achieved with the digital transformation of the port using IoT technologies.

TSN plus OPC UA (www.computer-automation.de)
The "shapers" put the pressure on
Is OPC UA plus TSN the exclusive industrial communication solution of the future? The so-called "Shaper Group" is now emphasizing this conviction with a white paper. Computer & AUTOMATION offers it for download.

Spark Assistant' voice assistant (www.computer-automation.de)
Artificial intelligence for meetings
IT provider Cisco has introduced the 'Spark Assistant', an adaptive voice assistant for companies. Unlike 'Siri', 'Alexa' and the like, it is specifically designed to make meetings easier and more productive.

The TSN/A Conference 2017
How quickly and with what consistency will the real-time Ethernet standard TSN be introduced? The TSN/A Conference on September 20 and 21 explored this question. Over 400 experts gathered to find out about the status quo.

CC-Link Partner Association (www.computer-automation.de)
Working group for network security established
The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) has set up a working group on the security of industrial Ethernet. The aim is to create a guide for users who want to build secure networks with the open Gigabit Ethernet technology CC-Link IE.

Cisco / IBM (www.computer-automation.de)
Together against cybercrime
Two major players in the IT security market - Cisco and IBM - intend to improve the efficiency of IT security for their customers through technology integration, combined services and collaboration on threat intelligence.

Microsoft (www.computer-automation.de)
New IoT lab for Munich
Microsoft is setting up an IoT & AI Insider Lab in Munich. Interested companies can now apply to accelerate their projects in the field of IoT and artificial intelligence.

Industrial Internet of Things (www.computer-automation.de)
OPC UA plus TSN
OPC UA TSN as a standardized protocol for communication in the Industrial Internet of Things up to the control level: this is the goal now being pursued by a consortium of IT and automation companies.

Data security (www.computer-automation.de)
Deutsche Telekom expands its security portfolio
93% of medium-sized and large German companies have already been exposed to IT attacks designed to spy on or damage them. Deutsche Telekom has come to this conclusion and wants to counteract this with eight security solutions.

OPC UA & TSN (www.computer-automation.de)
OPC UA plus TSN preferred
Leading automation and information technology suppliers are jointly promoting OPC UA over Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) as the unified communication solution between industrial controllers and to the cloud.

M2M, IoT, Industry 4.0 (www.computer-automation.de)
IoT data processing at the edge
To boost the Internet of Things, IBM and Cisco are working together to enable intelligent data processing directly at the data source.

Cisco (www.computer-automation.de)
500 million US dollars for Germany's digitalization
IT equipment supplier Cisco plans to invest USD 500 million in Germany over the next three years to accelerate digitalization.
