Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is a transformative concept in manufacturing and production that incorporates digital technologies to create smart, interconnected, and highly automated systems. It encompasses various advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), big data analytics and cloud computing.
The goal of Industry 4.0 is to create more flexible, efficient, and sustainable manufacturing processes, while also transforming business models and the nature of work in industries. It offers opportunities for increased productivity, reduced costs, improved quality, and innovation across various sectors.
At the Industry 4.0 model factory in the laboratory of the Institute for Industrial Automation Systems (IAS), basic technologies in the field of Industry 4.0 can be experienced first-hand as part of project work and final theses. The model factory is constantly being expanded and further developed. Current examples include an online dashboard for displaying the plant status, the investigation of various communication models for the efficient connection of distributed controllers or the development of suitable information models for a digital image of the model factory as a digital twin.
