Industry 4.0
IO-Link: Your interface to the future
The fourth industrial revolution is networked digitally and completely because Industry 4.0 links production with the latest information and communication technologies. The goal: the “Smart Factory” – an intelligent, practically self-organizing factory that is characterized by increased flexibility because of increasingly differentiating customer desires, at the same time saving available resources and incorporating customers more into the business and value-added process.
The most frequently used keywords in this context are “Internet of Things” and “integrated networking”. Integrated networking and with it gap-free communication at all levels of production, which will become increasingly more complex through Industry 4.0, can only be realized with intelligent interfaces. Interfaces such as IO-Link.
