INDUSTRY 4.0 - PROGRESSION

Industry 4.0 is currently still a research agenda. To date, there are very few products or implementation guidance, for the investment decisions of companies. The standard is still not currently defined and therefore no reliable statement can be made on which technology the industrial revolution will prove sustainable.

However, technical standards are not enough. The greater part of the value added in machine and plant engineering, but also in automation is already out of the software development. Their complexity continues to grow strongly. Software systems for the fourth generation industry must be produced economically sustainable, be efficient and reliable, remain manageable despite the growing complexity.

IT-SECURITY

The most frequently expressed apprehension about IT security is that the data are not secure for loosing business secrets and closely guarded knowledge of the company would disclose the competition.
