In addition to QSC AG, the consortium includes RWTH Aachen University, Cologne University of Applied Sciences ('Fachhochschule Köln'), symmedia GmbH, and the Dillenburger group. 'This award by the Federal Ministry of Economics shows that QSC is already ahead of the game in the development of cloud applications when it comes to know-how and creativity. Medium-term, this is going to enable QSC to tap into new markets, which clearly shows that our transformation from a network operator to an ICT services provider is well underway,' commented Bernd Schlobohm, CEO of QSC AG, on the company's successes.
Efficient storage and processing of sensor data The 'SensorCloud' enables immediate access to, and multidimensional use and utilization of the aforementioned data, thus allowing for entirely new combination possibilities, work flows and value chains across local boundaries. That way, 'SensorCloud' is making a significant contribution to the 'Internet of things.'
