Tips and Tricks for Implementing Industry 4.0 with MES
The degree of digitalization in the vertical and horizontal value chain is set to quadruple by 2020. However, skepticism about this goal can be heard – both at SME and group level. Industry 4.0 examples already exist, but they are rare in the production landscape. The main reasons for this are the thematic complexity of the Industry 4.0 concept, the high investment costs and security concerns.
In the new FASTEC whitepaper series, you can find out how manufacturing companies can gain clarity on Industry 4.0 for their own company and successfully initiate their Industry 4.0 launch.
Although there are already some examples that demonstrate the implementation of Industry 4.0 in practice, there is a lack of a comprehensible, meaningful and realistic definition of the Industry 4.0 concept and clear recommendations for action. How can the goal of Industry 4.0 be implemented strategically, safely and efficiently? In our eight-part whitepaper series, FASTEC provides you with an introduction to Industry 4.0, gives you guidelines for implementing Industry 4.0 and shows how MES can make a decisive contribution to this goal.
