Engineering | innovation | Innovation to go? Every year thousands of people visit our test tower for elevators in Rottweil, North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. Now visitors can get their hands on a miniature version of our tower. The new souvenir is not only nice to look at: it bears a lot of innovative 3D-print technology in its' 127,94 millimeters and 15 grams made of thermoplastic.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | innovation | trends of technology | Urbanization | A new technology from thyssenkrupp now allows robots and elevators in the US to communicate with each other in the cloud, making it possible, among other fields of application, to serve hotel guests fully autonomously.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | Engineering | innovation | From the first on-site visit at home to the installation of a stairlift, it often takes over two months – at least in the past. With HoloLinc we simplify the process considerably. And not only help our engineers, but above all our end customers, for they can see their proposed lift even before it is installed in the stairwell – thanks to Mixed Reality technology.

energy concepts | innovation | Smart energy | Sustainability and climate protection | In order to achieve the Paris Agreement climate targets, we must significantly increase the share of renewable energies. By 2030, for example, 65 percent of our gross electricity consumption is to come from renewable energies – today this figure is only 37.8 percent. So there are still a few challenges to overcome before we can look back with pride on a successful energy turnaround. These three technologies could help us close the impending supply gap.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | future of production | innovation | trends of technology | All over the world, our colleagues at thyssenkrupp are working to safeguard the future of our company by making it more flexible, more efficient, and more high-performance. In our new strategy #newtk, we are putting performance center stage. For example, when software helps to substantially reduce planning errors and other shortcomings in plant engineering. How? By having data visualize the future for us.

innovation | Sustainability and climate protection | trends of technology | In Germany, a whopping 55 kilograms of food per person end up in the garbage can instead of on the table every year. In more than half of these cases, this is due to shelf-life problems. How can we ensure that our food stays fresh longer? The answer: with the so-called HPP process. It is working flat out to fight food waste.
