Megatrends such as digitalization, globalization and sustainability present major challenges for industry. They also simultaneously create numerous opportunities for disruptive technologies, new business models and competitive advantages. In an effort to leverage these potentials, leaders are needed who can rethink products from the consumer’s perspective - from design to manufacturing and support. This is the only way to master the ecological challenges facing companies, particularly in energy-intensive industries.
Productivity increases through Industry 4.0
Companies expect significant spikes in productivity from Industry 4.0 in the coming years. The basis for this are the more advanced possibilities for the intelligent networking of product development, production, logistics and customers. Companies with an integrated approach tap into the business added value of industrial digitization along the entire value chain. In addition to Smart Factory and product individualization, including through the use of 3D printing processes, significant efficiency gains will be made possible through AI/KI/machine learning-based algorithms in the area of production planning and Predictive Maintenance, justifying the investments in IIoT-networked manufacturing facilities.
