Workplace digitalisation specialist TeamViewer is partnering VINCI Energies, a digital transformation specialist. The two companies aim to accelerate digital transformation of processes in industrial environments, focusing on joint creation of solutions using IoT and Augmented Reality (AR) technology.

Under the agreement, VINCI Energies will act as a system integrator for combined TeamViewer and VINCI Energies customers, supporting them with implementation and consulting services around IoT and AR projects. The implementation is carried out by Actemium and Axians, the industrial and ICT service providers of VINCI Energies.

TeamViewer and VINCI Energies have already started joint technical development of new products and services. The first market-ready outcome is a digital twin solution for industrial shop floor equipment. This solution is designed to offer customers an inexpensive and fast way to create digital twins in industrial environments, reducing the creation time from weeks to hours. The virtual representations of the machines or robots can then be enriched individually with elements such as live sensor data. Through a secure connection, this data can be accessed, monitored, and managed remotely via a user-friendly interface.

Dr. Bernhard Kirchmair, Chief Digital Officer at VINCI Energies for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Eastern Europe, said: “We are very excited about teaming up with leading technology company TeamViewer to jointly support our customers to capture the tremendous business value of IoT and AR for improving industrial process performance. With TeamViewer’s and VINCI Energies’ capabilities combined, we are able to plan, build and run impactful digital solutions – in an easy, efficient and secure way”.

Lukas Baur, Executive Vice President Solution Sales at TeamViewer said: “The partnership with VINCI Energies, part of one of Europe’s largest industry groups, is a very important step for us on our way to further extend our footprint in industrial contexts. We both share the goal of enabling digital transformation of business-critical processes along the entire value chain. Through this partnership, we can jointly help customers to drive their digitalisation through the seamless interplay of IoT and AR solutions.”
