Germany-based enterprise software firm Software AG has acquired US-based Zementis, a provider of deep learning software.

Deep learning is a key ability in machine learning and data science, and a fundamental technology driving the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Software AG considers the current machine learning and AI advances as the basis for the next generation of Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as self-driving cars, personal digital assistants, medical diagnosis, predictive maintenance and robotics.

Software AG has already embedded Zementis’ ADAPA (Adaptive Decision and Predictive Analytics) into its Digital Business Platform to offer enterprises with comprehensive insights for real-time business analytics. The combination delivers precise business and technical insights into customer behaviour, market dynamics, security risks and sensor information from the IoT.

In addition, Software AG has made multiple Internet of Things (or Industry 4.0) announcements in recent months including strategic alliances with Bosch, Dell and Cumulocity. These partnerships are based on integrating digital sensors and predicting maintenance requirements, which will now be enhanced through automated decisions based on machine learning for manufacturing, logistics, or any data heavy use case.

Software AG chief executive officer, Karl-Heinz Streibich, said in a statement: “The impact of the Internet of Things on industry, business and society will dwarf anything we have experienced through technology so far. This is now widely acknowledged by industry, as is the unique business insights that can be provided by combining predictive analytics, machine learning and streaming analytics. This combination has played a major role in the recent strategic IoT partnerships Software AG has established.”
