Industrie 4.

The path to intelligent production

Industrie 4.0

Thanks to advancing digitalisation, production

is increasingly merging with the IT world. Production
is becoming faster and the customers requests are
becoming more distinct. This development requires
intelligent factories with digitally networked systems
in which people, IT systems, automation components
and machinery communicate with one another.
The goal is producing individualised products quickly,
flexibly and cost-efficiently. Plant and machinery
must be able to adapt to rapidly changing
requirements.

We are actively helping to shape Industrie 4.0!

Together with our customers and partners, we are
developing solutions that enable the intelligent production
of the future. We are actively involved in the ongoing
development of automation architectures in the spirit of
Industrie 4.0. This is the only way to offer you products
that enable flexible, individual and safe automation
processes. We are supporting the Industrie 4.0 initiative
in the following committees and working groups:

the protection of sensitive data from a machine (security). Safety Security
All-round safety concepts with system architectures geared
