IoT systems are becoming increasingly important in the area of sustainability. Industrialization has been accompanied by massive consumption of resources, which has already led or will lead to resource scarcity. New technological innovations are instrumental in changing industrial processes and integrating environmentally friendly and resource-saving components into existing processes.

We look back on a successful participation at embedded eorld 2023. As a global platform and industry meeting point for the embedded community, the event is a guarantee for good conversations, knowledge exchange and networking with leading experts from all over the world.

On March 13, 2023, STACKFORCE GmbH and Diehl Metering, global provider of smart metering solutions, entered into a strategic partnership. STACKFORCE founder Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora and Managing Director David Rahusen were guests at Diehl Metering to finalize the merger.

Today, STACKFORCE GmbH can look back on several successful years in the development of embedded software. Company founder Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora was already active in research & development before STACKFORCE was founded and still is today. What is his role in the company and what where significant milestones of STACKFORCE for CEO David Rahusen? In a short interview, there are interesting insights into the management of the company.

You would like to put the contents of your studies into practice and earn money on the side? Then a student job is just the right thing for you.

It all started in 2002, when Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora founded the Steinbeis Transfer Center (stzedn) for Design and Networking. This was followed in 2005 by the Steinbeis Research Institute for Wireless Communication (sfidk) and in 2007 by the Steinbeis Innovation Center for Embedded Design and Networking (sizedn). STACKFORCE took over the implementation of individual customer projects and research could be continued within the research institute.

The recruiting exhibition CAREER on the campus of the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences is the ideal place to recruit new talents for the STACKFORCE team. Sally Rahusen, Head of Finance & HR, was in charge of our booth on site and exchanged ideas with numerous students.

The agriculture sector is increasingly engaged in digitizing processes that are cumbersome and time-consuming to implement manually. In our use case, we focused on Smart Dairy Farming. In our video, we show how digitization can work in agriculture and how exactly Protocol Stacks from STACKFORCE can support this. The use case illustrates the benefits for the end user of networking devices on the farm.

The semiconductor shortage is currently being felt in many industries. However, opinions vary widely on the duration of the existing problem. Read the article to learn how to add IoT connectivity to your devices despite the chip shortage.
