Cybus raises EUR 8 million in latest funding round

Cybus offers industrial companies more efficient networking and automated production. Peter Sorowka, CEO of Cybus, remarked: "We are not talking about pilot projects anymore but digital rollouts across entire factories – without interrupting production.” The software solution is already being used by European SMEs and the automotive industry and is one of the main components of the so-called "smart factory". Such factories are based on intelligently networked machines and products. The product itself communicates the information required for production to the smart factory. Workers no longer have to intervene in the actual production process. An integrated security solution allows  factories to retain control over their data and to digitize their production independently of cloud or other third-party providers.

The so-called "Internet of Things" (IoT), a wireless communication between products and plants is the basis of  communication for the smart factory. Establishing this connection poses one of the greatest challenges of digital transformation for many company. Matthias Odrobina, Managing Director of PwC Holdings Germany GmbH, said:_ “Cybus’ software solution solves exactly this problem. It acts as a technology-neutral mediator and overcomes typical compatibility barriers between different systems.”
