The scale of ISH trade fair truly amazes – about 2,400 international exhibitors at around 260,000 square meters presenting their latest products. Manufacturers of devices and solutions for building, energy, air-conditioning technology, and renewable energies in 12 mall-sized halls. So, what would a representative of an IT company do among heat pumps, fans, air conditioners, and heating systems?

Evgeniy Yakovlev, the leader of embedded software development at Sigma Software, makes the part that turns all those devices into intelligent. He works with clients in the energy sector, heating and smart home domains driving the development of embedded software, which controls operation of their hardware. Evgeniy was eager to meet some of our clients from the energy and heating segment at the fair.

“I was impressed by the diversification of businesses employed by different companies. Some of them make IoT and sensors their winning point, while others utilize well-tuned processes and well-tried devices to do the job. Every company has its approach and makes the best of it. Particularly interesting for me, as a man of IT industry were systems of management for extended heating systems, IoT devices, and other intelligent solutions,” shared Evgeniy Yakovlev.

Evgeniy continues:

“The number of players on this market is unbelievable, and you can really find companies from the whole world at ISH. Also nice to see startups, family managed companies of enterprise level, and well-established companies competing in innovations. The disruption introduced by IoT capabilities opened the road for newcomers, which achieve high manufacturing levels in a very short time.”
