  • Photo of a Berlin S-Bahn carriage. The door is open. Several travelers stand in the carriage at the door, for example one young man with a pit bull and another one with a kebab in hand.
    NO MATTER WHAT IT IS –
    IT'S EMBEDDED.
  • Rescue helicopters from the inside: a lying patient is examined by two medical professionals.
    LIFESAVERS: Embedded systems help
    save lives in more than 74.000 helicopter
    rescue missions in Germany each year.
  • In a Laundromat: An elderly man fills laundry from a plastic bag in a washing machine.
    SQUEAKY CLEAN: Embedded systems put
    the right spin on things in some 2.5 million
    washing machines made anually in Germany.
  • A power shovel digs a long channel. Two construction workers are in the channel and talk to each other.
    DIG IT: At more than 2.500 construction
    sites in Berlin, embedded systems in
    heavy machinery are digging deep.
  • Taxi driving in rainy weather on a shopping street. View from the side.
    PATHFINDERS: In more than 7.000 taxicabs
    in Berlin, embedded systems lead
    the way and stay on course.
  • Asian young woman sitting at a cash register, three young men just buy something.
    CHECK IT: Embedded systems in more than
    500.000 electronic cash registers in Germany
    ensure that the check checks out.
  • Escalators in a department store. People, some with bags in hand, go up and down.
    HIGH SCORE: Embedded systems in some
    15.000 escalators in Germany take
    young and old to the next level.
