Four astronauts are heading to the Moon – but there’s far more on board Artemis II than a crew. European and German sensor technology turns the mission into a flying test platform: DLR radiation detectors, a Berlin CubeSat, and NASA wearables show how IoT principles are reaching deep space.
Germany is the only country that systematically reimburses digital therapy apps through statutory health insurance. But from an IoT perspective, the DiGA system falls short of its potential: wearables and sensors are barely integrated. Triple interoperability hurdles and MDR bottlenecks are slowing down hardware integration.
Cologne-based developer Christoph Bültemann is building ClearSense, a sensor system for water-lubricated propeller shaft bearings. The project aims to digitize ship maintenance and is currently being advanced with support from China’s NICE innovation program.
Hapag-Lloyd is equipping around two million standard containers with IoT technology and introduces “Live Position,” a real-time tracking system with dynamic ETA predictions. Sensors, LTE connectivity and cloud integration aim to improve transparency, efficiency and predictability across global container shipping.
In times of increasingly frequent cloud outages, arbitrary changes in app control by manufacturers, and opaque data collection, locally operated smart home solutions are gaining importance. A central platform in this field is Home Assistant.
Renting a beach chair on German coasts usually means queuing at local rental huts, paying in cash, and picking up a key. This traditional process felt outdated to three founders from Hamburg, who launched Strandbutler in 2021 – a platform that enables tourists to reserve and unlock beach chairs via mobile app.
From slug detection to digital monitoring of dairy goats: The article shows how modern smart farming technologies make agriculture more sustainable, efficient, and animal-friendly — with practical examples and a look at opportunities and limitations.
The Fish Farmer collaborated with IOT-ezy to implement LoRa-enabled water quality sensors along with a centralized alert and monitoring system.
Supply chain sustainability is becoming a critical issue. Companies’ supply chains often account for more than 90% of their greenhouse gas emissions, and as the world becomes more interconnected, these networks are only growing. This issue is particularly relevant in the food and beverage industry.
