One of the largest software projects involves the changes in the energy market, with digital transformation in this sector playing a critical role.
The Energy Strategy 2050 as well as other profound changes in the energy environment, such as the rise of electric mobility, use of renewable energies and prosumer systems as well as decentralisation, necessitate the conversion of the energy system.
Digitalisation is an important trailblazer
Technologies for intelligent combination of power generation and power consumption are well advanced under headings such as «smart meter» or «smart grids». The next step is to network these technologies and enable a real-time response or autonomous control. Continuous data processing provides the basis for solving complex problems instantaneously.
Thanks to our longstanding expertise in the control and networking of devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) combined with big data as well as digital platform development we help energy suppliers and manufacturers in plant and system construction for energy management to refocus their digital strategy.

More efficient testing with tool-based automation
Certainty in power supply: Switchgear installations must fulfil the strictest requirements. The software components developed by bbv resulted in significantly increased testing efficiency at ABB thanks to automated test planning, implementation and documentation. This also had a positive impact on employee motivation.

Machine Learning
AI in the industry: training models with small datasets
Common practices for training machine learning models are based on large datasets, but these are often not available in the manufacturing industry. Data-centric AI is a new approach that should also enable manufacturing companies to successfully use AI systems.
Microfrontends: Taking microservices to the next level
How web developers reduce complexity
Complex web applications are a challenge for developers. Because the frontend and backend are closely interlinked, enhanced development of microservices is complex and time-consuming. Microfrontends help to reduce this dependency. bbv experts Michael Maurer and Ferry Sapei explain the advantages and disadvantages of microfrontends and when their use is worthwhile.
