In energy management the needs are increasing, systems are becoming more complex, and technology and innovation must respond to these new imperatives. We develop products that enrich people life’s and are constantly on the lookout for groundbreaking developments and trends.
Last year was a very prolific year in terms of the collaborations with research and development institutes, universities, and technical schools. And all the interesting research projects that are currently ongoing will translate into potential new opportunities in the next 5 to 10 years.
An example of this technical cooperations is the following project from our Openstuder platform, which consist of implementing the Modbus communication between a Siemens PLC and our Xcom 485i, integrating the communication in the Siemens Human Machine Interface HMI.
We develop and manufacture high-end power electronics. High-end devices are not only about the product itself, but the complete service that is encapsulated with the product.
We continue working on our Studer professional services rang with the aim of allowing our professional clients to do business with our high-end products and also with the high-end services that are associated with the product.
This year we launched a very special collaboration. This is not the same technical collaboration/partnership that we have with technical institutions for R&D projects. We have teamed up with Emmanuel Fragnière a professor of Service Design and Innovation at the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO Valais).
His research is focused on the development of design techniques for the service sector in general and more specifically applied to the energy and tourism. With him and his team we are exploring and working on the innovation around the services.
