3. Industry 4.0 – Introduction
• mechanical, electricity and computer revolutions leads to a 4th industrial
revolution
• companies will connect their machines, storage systems and resources
within cyber physical systems (CPS) worldwide + companies of various
industries will be networked
• Machines will become “Smart” self-tuning, auto-configured and able to do
self-diagnostics
• Smart interaction and communications between customer, factory, people,
different machines and products
• industrial processes in the production, engineering, the usage of materials,
supply chain and life cycle management can be substantially improved
4. Industry 4.0 – Objectives
• Current implementation and status of efforts at standardization
• Industry 4.0 –also something for medium-sized business?
• What does a business need to implement Industry 4.0?
5. Industry 4.0 – Methods
• Online Research (Standards, Research reports, Company publications, …)
• Industry Survey
• Short interviews with people of the most affected branches
• Focus on identification of:
• Current implementation status
• Key requirements for successful implementation
• Major needs to invest
• Annual budget for Research and Development
• Perspectives, drawbacks and risks
6. Industry 4.0 – Results
Current status of efforts at standardization
• Established view of disciplines
• Production engineering, mechanical engineering, Process engineering
• Automation
• Computer science and Internet to bring together and develop a common perspective
• A common, basic terminology for the companies from the different fields
• Standardization nowadays is based on
• Open operating systems: Linux platform
• Open development tools: community with more developers and millions of users
• Open communication infrastructure: Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) or email protocols
(SMTP)
7. Industry 4.0 – Results
Industry 4.0 –also something for medium-sized business?
• Main technologies needed for Industry 4.0 already exist
• Small and medium sized businesses can take an advantage out of it as well
