Venture further into the Global IoT

With a reorientation towards a stronger focus on providing solutions, the Kathrein Group is looking ahead into the future

Highly sophisticated hardware and software is the key to value-adding future-proof IoT solutions. The Kathrein Group recognised that this is a successful model and already achieved this synergy two years ago. The reason is obvious: future-oriented companies always endeavour to implement smart complete solutions and to holistically realise processes. Kathrein now orientates its solution business totally towards its customers.

Today, the business field of Kathrein RFID is a part of the “Solutions Business Unit” and bears the name “Kathrein IoT Solutions”. Jürgen Walter, as Senior Vice President, is responsible for the “Solutions Business Unit”. Thomas Brunner, as Head of Business Line, manages the “Kathrein IoT Solutions”. When interviewed by “RFID im Blick Global”, both managers describe the strategy that lies behind the reorientation and how IoT applications are driven globally, as well as how customers all around the world can benefit from this spirit of change.

High frequency solution in the IoT

“Today, having core competence in high frequency technology constitutes the basis for innovative products and antenna solutions, and thus the market leadership of Kathrein in many areas,” Jürgen Walter emphasises and explains: “Our product business is now complemented by a solution business that is aiming to realise a perfect interaction of permanently improved hardware, software ideally attuned to it, and holistic services designed for customer benefits.”

Together with a broadly-based partner eco system, Kathrein is now able to integrate scalable IoT solutions in almost every country. “Whether an individual customer in Brazil is looking for a solution, or a multinational corporation such as Audi wishes to gradually roll out an application into numerous factories spread around the globe – in cooperation with a network of partners, turn key projects covering everything from the first concept to the support come from a single source,” says the business unit manager.
