MSD TECHNOLOGY / TECHNOLOGIEATLAS
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
The model shows typical integration requirements. Individual systems can work locally and without a cloud; the appropriate architecture follows the task.
20 TECHNOLOGIES / SEARCH & LINK
Connects email, CRM, ERP, payment services and machines with clear approval paths.
Legacy systems without an API and unclear data sovereignty increase the integration effort.

PRIORITIES
Access rights, reliable data and clearly defined processes create the basis for meaningful automation.
Measure a specific task, test it with suitable platforms and only expand after a reliable result.
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
You bring a specific task, we structure the path from feasibility to supervised pilot operation.
Robotics, software, sensors, craftsmanship and integration: We are looking for people and companies who want to develop together.
We are looking for strategic discussion partners for the development of technology, experiments and viable applications. We discuss the project scope and participation personally.
