The device manufacturer industry will focus on two issues
in the future: digital production and Industry 4.0. Digital
production involves the further development of industrial
production, moving towards highly efcient, intelligent,
company- and industry-wide processes. Industry 4.0 is the
name given to the fourth industrial revolution driven by the
Internet: production technology and IT merge into cyber-
physical production systems in a smart factory. Automation
systems automatically manage themselves, analyse processes
and adapt themselves ideally.
When monitoring, controlling, regulating or automating
processes, a reliable electrical connection for industrial
devices is a link in the function chain that is not to be
underestimated. As an industrial connectivity partner,
Weidmüller supports the measurement, conversion and
processing of power, signals and data with secure, intuitively
operated interfaces and reliable connections. We are your
partner as you progress to the future.
The age of digital production
has already arrived
Industry 4.0 is a realistic vision
