ADAMOS now with seven shareholders

After Engel Austria recently joined this strategic alliance for the future topic of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the Karl Mayer group has now become a member as well.

Karl Mayer is a market leader in textile machine building and offers solutions for warp knitting and warp preparation for weaving as well as for technical textiles. CEO of the Karl Mayer Group Arno Gärtner, said: “Joining the strategic ADAMOS Alliance is the next step in our digitisation strategy. ADAMOS brings together experts in mechanical engineering and information technology to help provide high added value for customers. With this involvement we will gain access to an open IIoT environment which is specifically focused on the needs of machinery and plant construction.”

As a pioneer in textile machine building, Karl Mayer pursues a broadly conceived digitisation strategy: for one, the aim is to boost productivity within the company’s own added value chain to the customers’ benefit; and secondly, the intention is to develop new market-supporting business models, products and services involving digitisation.

Back in November 2017, the company founded Karl Mayer Digital Factory in order to develop advanced digital competences in an agile environment. And now Karl Mayer Digital Factory too has taken a stake in ADAMOS. All seven companies are equal shareholders in ADAMOS, which is based in Darmstadt. They contribute their extensive sector expertise, innovative IT know-how as well as their existing solutions. These include digital marketplaces and a broad portfolio of apps. Other machine and plant manufacturers as well as component manufacturers can also take advantage of the ADAMOS range of services as partners.
