We give you plenty of opportunities to play your part in the future of digitization at thyssenkrupp. For example, we use machine learning and AI to develop algorithms for the cloud services that go into vehicles at our startup carValoo GmbH. Algorithms such as these can be used to automatically assess the condition of vehicles and their performance on the road as well as detect damage events.

We develop and test innovative and promising IT ideas at our Digital Labs using an agile working model. Our digital solutions make our colleagues’ jobs easier. Moreover our work in the area of software architecture is pioneering thanks to the IIoT platform toii® we developed in-house – an end2end service which provides our customers with a practical, efficient, and future-oriented software solution.

And that’s just some of what we do. Have we piqued your interest?

IT Security at thyssenkrupp: Chasing the unknown
The danger from hackers and cyber-attacks has been growing for years. The focus is increasingly on industrial companies like thyssenkrupp. The motivation of the attackers: The theft of industrial secrets and data, sabotage and blackmail. Cybersecurity experts like Marc Kleffmann and Florian Saager have declared war on hackers. Their opponent: Increasingly organised crime. Their work is correspondingly demanding and exciting, always reminiscent of a thriller and real detective work.

cloud services

Cloud Services & thyssenkrupp’s digital factory

At our digital factory, a digital twin seamlessly documents the manufacturing history of our products all inside our digital factory, as it records all relevant production data. The data is processed and analysed inside a central cloud. This allows us to detect any deviations in the production process at an early stage. Consequently, the digital twin doesn’t just increase automation, but it also increases productivity.

Artificial neural networks for quieter steering gears
When driving a car you should be able to hear as few unpleasant noises as possible. That said, it is important the driver hears warning signals.
