Smart Machines – from the Sensor into the Cloud

Sensors and gateways are the basis for making legacy machines and systems fit into Industry 4.0. Together with appropriate software they can not only simplify processes but interconnect them comprehensively. This talk explains which preconditions must be fulfilled on both sides. However, those machines only become truly future-proof when the data obtained are analyzed continuously and used productively. Thus, the talk additionally demonstrates vividly how machines and systems can be modernized, how data can be used for supporting decisions and how processes starting with the sensor and ending in the cloud can be organized efficiently.

Mr. Fleckenstein will present jointly with Heike Vocke.
