More than 50 years ago, on November 15, 1971, the American company Intel ushered in the age of the digital revolution with the “Intel 4004”, the first programmable microprocessor, which experienced exponential growth with the advent of the Internet and completely changed the world socially, culturally and, above all, economically within a very short space of time. Processors, semiconductors, chips and other components of electrical engineering form the basis for various important areas of our real economy. Without diodes, transistors, capacitors, sensors or even processors, the so-called CPUs, the world as we know it today could no longer exist.

As pleasing as this technical development is, it poses immense challenges for today’s companies. Electronic components are the “breaking point” that can bring entire industries and even countries to their knees in a globally networked economy. The counter-strategy to prevent the standstill of gigantic and sensitively coordinated production processes, which are systemically relevant in many respects, is based on a mix of different disciplines, which we at ComSIT master optimally as consultants.
