SAMSON AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT and the industrial services provider Bilfinger SE agreed on a joint venture – ubix GmbH – to continuously develop the advanced UBIX digitization and automation platform. UBIX was established in 2011 and is currently being used in numerous companies active in energy management, mechanical engineering, and the process industry.
SAMSON has acquired majority ownership of ubix GmbH, and with Bilfinger as its close partner, the Company plans to take a leap forward in digital business models, plants, and process optimization.
UBIX as a modular platform provides maximum scalability as well as maximum flexibility for all industries when it comes to integrating different process control systems. Contrary to common control and monitoring systems, UBIX is also suitable for use in smaller plants with its cloud-based approach of providing software as a service. Due to universal interfaces, UBIX can easily be connected to expert systems. These systems enable companies to tap into different sources of data, also those that were previously inaccessible. As a result, great potential can be unlocked to increase plant efficiency and availability.
