MSD TECHNOLOGY / TECHNOLOGIEATLAS

Die Zukunft
is a system.

20 building blocks. Seven connected processes. A technical look at the company of tomorrow.

Editorial orientation model based on the technology atlas provided. Readiness for use depends on the specific task; This is not a catalog of MSD products that have already shipped. For specific platform data and manufacturer sources see the Robotikbereich.

DAS FUNDAMENT

Was zusammenarbeiten soll,
muss verbunden sein.

RECHTE & SICHERHEIT→DATEN & API→KI & SENSORIK→ROBOTIK & BETRIEB

The model shows typical integration requirements. Individual systems can work locally and without a cloud; the appropriate architecture follows the task.

Typische Verbindungen: Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

Fundament / Heute

Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

Role rights, secrets, protocols, backups and alerts secure every automation.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

No software replaces safety audits, accountability or emergency procedures.

Rights inventory, two-factor login, backup restore test and audit log first.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Incorrect or outdated data does not automatically become correct.

Develop a delimited document inventory in a versioned and source-bound manner.

Typische Verbindungen: API & Prozess-Orchestrierung, Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

Fundament / Heute

Cloud and server architecture

Delivers shared compute, containers, storage, and scaling.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Usage, traffic, backup and GPU time drive the overall cost.

Measure base load against usage peaks and compare cloud/on-prem.

Typische Verbindungen: Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

Fundament / Heute–2 Jahre

Edge-KI & lokale Rechenmodule

Processes sensor and camera data close to machines – with low latency.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Device management, updates and physical security are mandatory.

Evaluate a machine or camera locally instead of connecting all devices immediately.

Typische Verbindungen: Identities, Access & Cybersecurity, API & Prozess-Orchestrierung

Intelligenz / Heute–2 Jahre

Sprach-KI & Telefonautomatisierung

Accepts inquiries, creates tickets and schedules callbacks or appointments.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Consider consent, information obligations, handover and misunderstandings.

Only automate standard issues and explicitly regulate escalation and recording.

Typische Verbindungen: KI-Agenten & digitale Teams, API & Prozess-Orchestrierung

Intelligenz / Heute–2 Jahre

Computer Vision & Quality Control

Detects components, surface defects, fill levels or safety events.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Model changes, lighting conditions and false positive results require retesting.

Measure a defect type on a line and record real defect rates.

Typische Verbindungen: Edge-KI & lokale Rechenmodule, API & Prozess-Orchestrierung

Physische Welt / Heute

Sensorik & Industrial IoT

Makes machine states, energy consumption and material flows measurable.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Operational security, networks and calibration often cost more than the sensors.

Detect the three biggest causes of failure or consumption using sensors.

Typische Verbindungen: API & Prozess-Orchestrierung, Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

Physische Welt / Heute

Cobots & Roboterzellen

Adopt repeatable handles, loading and easy assembly.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Robot arm alone is not a safe cell; Grippers, fixtures, CE and integration add up.

Film the work cycle, measure the number of pieces, plan the tools and safety room.

Typische Verbindungen: Sensorik & Industrial IoT, Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

Physische Welt / Heute

3D-Druck & additive Fertigung

Prints fixtures, spare parts and small series; reduces tool lead time.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Material approval, post-processing and quality assurance are product-dependent.

Compare a recurring spare part or equipment with conventional production.

Typische Verbindungen: Datenplattform & Wissenssuche (RAG)

Physische Welt / Heute–3 Jahre

Energiemanagement & Laststeuerung

Shifts loads, identifies consumption peaks and controls storage/facilities.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Savings depend on tariff, system access and actual consumption.

Capture 15 minute load profiles and relevant tariffs before investing.

Typische Verbindungen: Sensorik & Industrial IoT, Datenplattform & Wissenssuche (RAG)

Physische Welt / Heute–3 Jahre

AR-Brillen & Fernwartung

Places instructions and drawings directly over machines and construction sites.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Wearing comfort, data protection and reliable content determine the benefit.

Test remote support in a rare, expensive maintenance situation.

Typische Verbindungen: Datenplattform & Wissenssuche (RAG), API & Prozess-Orchestrierung

Physische Welt / Heute–3 Jahre

Drohnen & autonome Inspektion

Check roofs, PV systems, storage areas or difficult infrastructure.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Airspace, data protection and operational regulations vary greatly.

Select an approvable inspection case with clear manual comparison time.

Typische Verbindungen: Computer Vision & Quality Control, API & Prozess-Orchestrierung

Fundament / Jetzt vorbereiten

Post-Quanten-Kryptografie

Replaces vulnerable encryption methods for long-lived data and systems.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

It's about cryptography migration, not about buying a quantum computer.

Inventory certificates, VPNs, signatures, and lifespan of sensitive data.

Typische Verbindungen: Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

Horizon / Research / Special Cases

Quantencomputing

Experiments with quantum algorithms for specific optimization and simulation problems.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Broad economic advantages over classic methods have not been proven across the board.

Nur bei spezialisiertem Rechenproblem einen kontrollierten Forschungsversuch planen.

Typische Verbindungen: Cloud and server architecture, Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

Horizont / Projektbezogene Praxis

Robotischer Bau & 3D-Betondruck

Automated masonry and concrete processes in suitable construction projects.

Voraussetzungen & erster Schritt

Construction site logistics, materials, construction supervision and special machines dominate feasibility.

Calculate the entire project including approvals, materials, transport, personnel and rework.

Typische Verbindungen: Digitale Zwillinge & Simulation, Sensorik & Industrial IoT, Identities, Access & Cybersecurity

SIEBEN PROZESSKETTEN

PRIORITIES

Heute aufbauen. Gezielt erproben. Weiter beobachten.

FUNDAMENT

Daten, Sicherheit, Schnittstellen

Access rights, reliable data and clearly defined processes create the basis for meaningful automation.

PILOT

Vision, robotics, digital twins

Measure a specific task, test it with suitable platforms and only expand after a reliable result.

FORSCHUNG

Geschickte Manipulation & Humanoide

Learning-based control, tactile sensors, simulation and teleoperation are important areas of development. A demonstration video is not proof of acceptance.

LET’S BUILD WHAT COMES NEXT

The next connection begins with a conversation.

UNTERNEHMEN

Einen Prozess neu denken

You bring a specific task, we structure the path from feasibility to supervised pilot operation.
