What gives us sometimes the unerring feeling that a project will work out well? And then things develop that way too. Even if the challenges seem overwhelming. If even during the course adverse events of the project cannot throw us off track.
Maybe you know the feeling from sports. Sometimes in the morning in front of a competition you have the relaxed feeling that you and your team can win today.
This form of confidence because you have done everything in your power, you are very well prepared and you get the right support. Then you give the best and you let go. This kind of self-fulfilling prophecy leads you through the day.

Digitization extends the frame set of possibilities. But there is the danger of dissipating your energies. If you offer the client many possibilities, could mean in the end, nothing to do right. If you let a client hang on hold by taking care of the realization of his wishes, the situation is certainly not wanted. Even if you intention is to bring him a sophisticated new product of combined services. Such ideas have to work.
Can you deliver the quality that the customer expects from you? This question is a question of any company that wants to bind customers through performance and satisfaction. Especially when the distinguishing features of the products is limited by price, image, service or process quality. Therefore, the highest values are placed on the fulfillment of the mentioned characteristics.

The expansion needs a far-sighted approach, as policy alone can hardly provide and pretend.
Expansion freeze in the north it doesn’t need it. The intelligent use, control and steering of energy is all the more important since the day on which Germany is able to be supplied with electrical energy completely through renewables.
Transport and supra-regional distribution is not the only way to dismantle the energy reserves in the north. Energy conversion, additional consumers and storage help to realize value added meaningfully.
The initiative can be managed by end users just as much as by energy companies. If electrical energy is available in excess in the region, then it is close to the heat demand as well as the energy demand for traffic to be covered electrically locally. The electrode heating boiler of the Stadtwerke Flensburg is a good example of the fact that modern cogeneration helps to use the wind power on site and to a considerable and efficient extent.

This is the heading of an article from the specialist magazine A&D about smart factory, which reported solutions for a closed loop of data flow from machine to application and back again. Already at CIM times in the 80th was talked about, but today the cloud belongs to the essence of the digital factory.
Connectivity and networking is once again the backbone of current production automation. It was written by the “dream of the closed loop”, the data integration via the cloud back into the production automation.
Is this dream desirable or is a step to far here? Creativity and thus innovation are living on not putting too much emphasis on boundaries. And it is also about expanding the market for digitalization products and arousing customer needs. Let us look more closely at the term.

On a cab ride to the airport, I came with the taxi driver in conversation, who I have ordered through an app: “Two customers have given me today her feedback and one has made me yesterday to his preferred driver. Poor results are rare and there is less and less of it. I can roughly estimate who it was and what the passenger was positive or less.
I think the ratings are good to me because they give me confirmation. In the course of time I have always improved and this is my reputation, which brings me clearly new customers. I do not need to shy away from a comparison in the circle of colleagues.
Only rarely is there a bad rating, which comes to me as out of the blue.”
This story was in contrast to the newsletter of a company of the energy industry. I read, that it wanted to shut down its internal communication and cooperation portal. The benefit would be to low. It wanted more appropriate ways, to communicate with their employees in a new way.
