Exempla ry appl ication areas of Industry 4.0
As described above, the technological core of Industry 4.0 lies in the communication skills and the networking of all components of a production system, including the workpieces and products produced and the availability of information that arises as a result. The question as to the benefit arising for the end user, i.e. the operator of machines and systems, as well as the buyer of the products, has only been partially answered to date. From a strategic viewpoint, this includes the potential stated in section Specific applications that actually demonstrate this potential and render it quantifiable are still emerging. On the basis of our experience in the development and production of industrial connectivity and automation technology, we are in a position to mention the following applications as pioneering examples. They were realised over the course of development projects and cooperation agreements with university institutes and end users and have since been operatively adopted in production by the Weidmüller Group.
