The digital world is developing swiftly, and so is the way in which firms are innovating. The cloud is bringing flexibility, artificial intelligence is speeding up decision-making and cybersecurity is more important than ever. We carefully test new technologies and select the ones that have long-term potential and are ready for industrial use. We bring you our experts’ insight into which trends truly change the rules of the game – and how to take hold of them so that they’re truly useful.
1. Cloud first: solution security and availability
Cloud solutions mean swift deployment, high availability, security and they reduce IT administration. The number of digital tools available to companies is constantly growing. That’s why it is critical to have partners by your side to reliably take care of their operations.
„We believe the cloud isn’t just a technology choice, but also a strategic decision that frees up your internal IT team to become an indispensable partner for your business and foster your firm’s development.“
Martin Bezděk
SAP Consultant, Aimtec

2. AI: the next step on the road to digital transformation
To make full use of AI’s potential, you need to construct solid digital foundations – by digitalising processes, connecting data flows, collecting and improving them and building digital competencies. Artificial intelligence isn’t here to replace humans, but rather to bring us the foundations for faster, more precise decision making. Recommended: Connected manufacturing and the use of AI/ML are becoming reality in the latest version of Aimtec DCIx.
„We deploy AI where it brings true value – in data analytics, simulations, automated checks and recording and sharing know-how. Used this way in manufacturing, it plays a key role in consistently ensuring quality.“
Rostislav Schwob
Supply Chain Solutions Director, Aimtec
3. Cybersecurity: trustworthy digital infrastructure
Digitalisation brings vulnerability of a new kind – attacks in cyberspace are growing in frequency, and their impacts are devastating. That’s one reason why we’re moving key systems to robust cloud centres. Their high degree of security cannot be achieved by in-house systems – and if an incident occurs, cloud solutions ensure rapid restoration of operations. Read: You can face cyberattacks with help from the cloud.
„We take the security of our own systems and information very seriously. We monitor systems, run penetration tests, encode our data and regularly undergo ISO 27001 and TISAX certifications, which confirm we meet the standards in the area of information management.“
Michal Kárník
Chief Information Officer, Aimtec
4. Prediction and simulation: decisions backed by data
Analysed and interpreted historical data offers a reliable view of the future. Simulations and predictions of development help companies to eliminate risks, optimise utilisation of resources and make strategic decisions with greater certainty. Be inspired: The use of the Simulation Tool in practice.
„Our solutions ensure that our clients have access to data and tools for processing it. They obtain an imprint of reality in a virtual environment, and they uncover key patterns and bottlenecks. Through dynamic simulations, they handle difficult tasks and model variant solutions for complex projects.“
Jan Herejk
APS Services Manager, Aimtec
5. Configurability: freedom and flexibility
Swings in demand, pressure for efficiency and new technology trends force firms to constantly optimise their processes. What works today can be an obstacle tomorrow – and so it is key to adapt systems to business, and not the opposite.
„Our systems are maximally configurable by both us and our customers, giving them the freedom, flexibility and independence they need. We collaborate on development projects, but at the same time, we offer customers tools that give them control over their processes and changes to them.“
Jan Kocián
Software Development Director, Aimtec
6. Integrability: interconnected systems
Holistic digitalisation is built upon connections of data, processes and technologies such as production machines and handling equipment. That means solution integrability is both a technical benefit and a critical condition. It ensures a smooth flow of data inside the company and interconnection with partners as well as optimisation of the entire supply chain.
>> Introducing the Aimtec Integration Platform.
„We support integration at all levels of the digital ecosystem – across the processes and systems inside a firm as well as towards its customers, suppliers and other external partners.“
