Bielefeld-based SOLIHDE GmbH noticed that, when it comes to the potential of Industry 4.0, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have so far only scratched the surface. However, by harnessing the opportunities of digital technologies, SMEs can also do a great deal more to rationalize and optimize their business processes. At HANNOVER MESSE 2016, the company is showcasing the benefits that its IONE business software offers in precisely these areas. Indeed, as a mid-size company itself, SOLIHDE and its software developers have a keen insight into the situation facing many SMEs.

Again and again, the developers in Bielefeld are confronted with the same question: "Why digitalize when everything's been working fine analog?" For them, the answer is obvious - by reconstructing the physical world in a digital world, IONE taps into brand new opportunities that open up whole new horizons for businesses. To do that, the software maps the various processes involved in day-to-day operations as interlinked modules. What’s more, depending on their size and growth, companies can order additional modules or remove existing ones at any time. Thanks to its intuitive ease of use and adaptability, IONE can also be used by any company in any sector as appropriate to its specific requirements.

With its IONE software, SOLIHDE GmbH is a member of the collaborative network it’s OWL (Intelligent Technical Systems Ostwestfalen-Lippe). This leading cluster is exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE 2016 as one of the largest Industry 4.0 projects currently underway.
