Blackout and the end? – A fail-safe concept brings light into the darkness

8. December 2022

In recent years, companies around the world have had to contend with difficulties on an unprecedented scale. The refugee crisis, coronavirus pandemic, global supply bottlenecks, energy crisis, etc. have probably not left anyone unscathed and have made it necessary to prepare for potential emergencies today.

A blackout, i.e. the collapse of the power supply and with it all means of communication, logistics chains, centrally controlled supply and technically organized modern life as we know it, is potentially one of the worst scenarios. If it occurs and hits your company unprepared, you lose your ability to act. Don’t let it get that far, we’ll tell you how!
