Marcellus Buchheit, President and CEO of Wibu-Systems USA, spoke with Scott MacKenzie, host of the Industrial Talk podcast, at the Q1 meeting of the Object Management Group in Reston, VA, USA. Marcellus offered interesting insights into subscription-based services, drawing a parallel between consumer-based subscriptions like those presented for products at the Consumer Electronics Show and similar business models in the industrial and medical world. For example, Marcellus pointed out the advantages of a subscription service for an expensive medical device, which allows the healthcare provider to avoid the heavy upfront costs of the system and pay only on a monthly basis or a usage basis. He also noted that it is advantageous for both parties to maintain ongoing engagement to keep the system up and running as it should for the service provider while continuing the revenue stream for the manufacturer.

Marcellus Buchheit, Wibu-Systems USA’s president and CEO, is interviewed by Scott Mackenzie, host of the popular IndustrialTalk podcast series, at the Q4 2022 Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) meeting held in Austin, TX. Marcellus is the co-chair of the IIC’s Trustworthiness Working Group, dedicated to exploring the five aspects of trustworthiness – safety, security, privacy, reliability, and resilience – relevant to IIoT and the IIC's vision of an IIoT ecosystem. In this episode, Marcellus sheds some light on how trust and trustworthiness are crucial elements to ascertain confidence in the proper operation of industrial systems, particularly those that can have detrimental safety and environmental impact on people and society at large if mishandled. The risks and negative consequences are even greater with increasingly networked and connected industries.

As part of the KoMiK research project, over the past three years, practitioners and research partners have worked together to investigate how companies can best select and introduce digital collaboration systems: What preliminary considerations, analyses and introduction steps are useful? And what is the impact of digital communication and collaboration on employees and processes? The introduction of the cooperation systems at WIBU-SYSTEMS AG was successful in any case - but different than planned... In the first part of our LZE Tech Talk on the topic of "ECS introduction", Andrej Krasnik, Head of Development at WIBU-SYSTEMS AG in Karlsruhe, and Dr. Klaus Schmierl, sociologist of work and member of the board at ISF Munich, discuss the tasks and hurdles that arose during the selection and introduction, how these were overcome, and why both productivity and employee satisfaction have increased in the meantime.
