Adapting subscription services to the industrial market to improve customer engagement and solutions

Marcellus Buchheit, President and CEO of Wibu-Systems USA, spoke with Scott MacKenzie, host of the Industrial Talk podcast, at the Q1 meeting of the Object Management Group in Reston, VA, USA. Marcellus offered interesting insights into subscription-based services, drawing a parallel between consumer-based subscriptions like those presented for products at the Consumer Electronics Show and similar business models in the industrial and medical world. For example, Marcellus pointed out the advantages of a subscription service for an expensive medical device, which allows the healthcare provider to avoid the heavy upfront costs of the system and pay only on a monthly basis or a usage basis. He also noted that it is advantageous for both parties to maintain ongoing engagement to keep the system up and running as it should for the service provider while continuing the revenue stream for the manufacturer.

Proactive actions to ensuring trustworthiness with your digital transformation strategy

Marcellus Buchheit, Wibu-Systems USA’s president and CEO, is interviewed by Scott Mackenzie, host of the popular IndustrialTalk podcast series, at the Q4 2022 Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) meeting held in Austin, TX. Marcellus is the co-chair of the IIC’s Trustworthiness Working Group, dedicated to exploring the five aspects of trustworthiness – safety, security, privacy, reliability, and resilience – relevant to IIoT and the IIC's vision of an IIoT ecosystem. In this episode, Marcellus sheds some light on how trust and trustworthiness are crucial elements to ascertain confidence in the proper operation of industrial systems, particularly those that can have detrimental safety and environmental impact on people and society at large if mishandled. The risks and negative consequences are even greater with increasingly networked and connected industries.

We can do it. But differently than planned (German)

As part of the KoMiK research project, over the past three years, practitioners and research partners have worked together to investigate how companies can best select and introduce digital collaboration systems: What preliminary considerations, analyses and introduction steps are useful? And what is the impact of digital communication and collaboration on employees and processes? The introduction of the cooperation systems at WIBU-SYSTEMS AG was successful in any case - but different than planned... In the first part of our LZE Tech Talk on the topic of "ECS introduction", Andrej Krasnik, Head of Development at WIBU-SYSTEMS AG in Karlsruhe, and Dr. Klaus Schmierl, sociologist of work and member of the board at ISF Munich, discuss the tasks and hurdles that arose during the selection and introduction, how these were overcome, and why both productivity and employee satisfaction have increased in the meantime.

Views on the IT Security Club from the community in Karlsruhe (German)

Oliver Winzenried, Vorstand der WIBU-SYSTEMS AG, und Bastian Wieland, Geschäftsführer archis Architekten + Ingenieure GmbH, haben den IT Security Club in Karlsruhe ins Leben gerufen. Baden TV ist vor Ort und hat mit verschiedenen Repräsentanten aus Karlsruhe gesprochen. Seit 50 Jahren ist Karlsruhe eine Pionierregion für IT-Entwicklungen, so Dr. Frank Mentrup, Oberbürgermeister der Stadt Karlsruhe. Der IT Security Club ist ein schönes Sprungbrett für Start-ups, um mit der Entwicklung zu beginnen, sich zu vernetzen und dann ein marktfähiges Produkt anbieten zu können. David Hermanns, Geschäftsführer CyberForum, sieht Wibu-Systems als ein Ankerunternehmen. Mit dem CyberLab werden Unternehmen aus dem Bereich IT-Sicherheit während der Gründungsphase unterstützt und danach können sie im IT Security Club ihre nächsten Schritte gehen. Professor Dr. Jörn Müller-Quade, Leiter Kryptographie und Sicherheit am KIT (Karlsruher Institut für Technologie), stellt fest, dass IT-Sicherheit wichtig für Unternehmen ist, die sich bisher nicht mit diesem Thema befasst haben, und dass IT-Sicherheit ein kreatives Moment hat, denn man muss manchmal wie ein Angreifer denken. Eine Begegnungsstätte wie dieser Club bietet exzellente Chancen. Dirk Fox, Initiator KA-IT-Si und Geschäftsführer Secorvo Security Consulting GmbH, betont die lange Tradition von IT-Sicherheit in Karlsruhe, denn bereits in den 1980er Jahren wurde der erste Lehrstuhl für IT-Sicherheit in Karlsruhe gegründet und blickt auch in die Zukunft. Es gibt die Chance, dass der IT Security Club einen Schub erzeugt und dass Firmen entstehen, die IT-Security in Deutschland gestalten werden. Im CyberForum konnte die Innovationsmanagerin Dr. Tamara Högler bereits acht Jahre Erfahrung gewinnen, denn sie hatte damals proaktiv Kooperationspartner zusammengebracht und sowohl bei Projektanträgen und der finanziellen Unterstützung an Innovationsvorhaben gearbeitet, was jetzt eine besondere Dienstleistung des IT Security Clubs angeboten wird.

What is the first step in implementing a digital warehouse?

Original source: Additive Talks by 3D Adept Media Host: Kety Sindze, 3D Adept Media Guests:  Brede Loerum, Head of the AM Centre of Excellence at Equinor Klas Solberg, Engineer at the Department of Technology and Testing at DNV Alvaro Forero, Security Expert and Team Leader of the Product Security Incident Response Team at Wibu-Systems Additive manufacturing has arrived with a bang. Technological advances have turned 3D printing from a niche pursuit and vague commercial vision for a far-off future into a genuinely disruptive force for modern industry today. The technology’s ability to liberate manufacturers from the constraints of restrictive machine designs, with fixed functionalities and reliance on expensive tools for long production runs, has made the idea of manufacturing-as-a-service a realistic business option for aspiring and established manufacturers alike. Additive Talks is a novel format for sharing expertise in the field: Individual sessions, each dedicated to a specific aspect or challenge for additive manufacturing as a technology  and business, promise to bring thought-provoking insights to a wider audience. Listen to the experts to find out how smart protection and licensing solutions like Wibu-Systems’ CodeMeter technology can overcome the IP security concerns inherent in a business where the people making the products are not necessarily the people owning the IP to them. In a truly free market for manufacturing services, digital data and designs are an invaluable currency, and it will be the providers that can guarantee its  security that will benefit most from the creative monetization potential of this new way of doing business: Greater trust equals more  customers equals greater success.
