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 efcient, 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
