Siemens Caring Hands donates large digital bundle to THW Foundation to fight the pandemic:
- Siemens Caring Hands makes tablets available to all local THW sections through the THW Foundation
- Devices are also to be equipped with cloud-based apps based on Siemens' Mendix software
- Civil defense and disaster control teams are to use tablets and software to respond to emergencies in a faster and more targeted manner
- Project is part of the COVID-19 relief fund set up by #siemens and is a key element of THW Foundation's PROGRESSUS initiative
Siemens Caring Hands e.V. is making a long-term contribution to fighting the pandemic and is supporting the task forces of the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) in driving digital transformation with the help of the THW Foundation. This will simplify THW's work as a system-relevant organization in times of crisis. In total, #siemens Caring Hands is donating 668 tablets to THW Foundation, which in turn is making it possible to use these devices at all 668 local THW sections. #siemens Caring Hands is not only bearing the hardware costs, but is also making #siemens experts available as advisors to help put the devices into operation – for example, by helping with data protection issues and by equipping the tablets with additional cloud-based apps. These apps are being programmed for this specific purpose by Mendix, a #business Unit of #siemens Digital Industries and a global leader in no-code/low-code applications. To develop the apps, a multi-phase process has been established that enables THW to plan the low-code applications on its own according to its specific needs and to then develop the apps with the aid of a hackathon that #siemens will be holding at the end of April.
