Digitization
Dunkermotoren joins Open Industry 4.0 Alliance
Dunkermotoren becomes part of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, which aims to build an interoperable and cross-manufacturer ecosystem to deliver functioning Industry 4.0 solutions.
The digitalization of factories and systems and the Internet of Things promise ever new opportunities for the automation industry. In this development, various technologies from the field level to the cloud and also across different stages of the value chain must be combined across manufacturers to create tangible added value. The supreme discipline here is to ensure that all participants within such an ecosystem speak the same language and there is no need for complex integration.
Dunkermotoren has therefore become part of the "Open Industry 4.0 Alliance" partner ecosystem. This aims to build an interoperable and cross-manufacturer ecosystem that delivers functioning Industry 4.0 solutions based on existing standards.
The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance acts as a partnership of industrial companies that participate in the implementation of cross-manufacturer Industry 4.0 solutions and services for production facilities and automated warehouses. The alliance was launched in April 2019. Since then, the alliance has grown to over 40 members with different industrial core competencies and has made further technical progress in recent months. The founding members include Beckhoff, Endress+Hauser, Hilscher, ifm, Kuka, Multivac, SAP and Voith. The constantly expanding circle of members includes Balluff, Sick, Pepperl+Fuchs, Gebhardt and Software AG. as
