Despite a high degree of automation and digitalization, many companies still have unconnected work areas or processes that do not provide centrally accessible information.

Yaskawa presents sustainability projects at the Hannover Messe. With i³ Control, the company is creating a new automation platform. The system forms a technically coordinated overall solution for industry-specific control systems.
To speed up commissioning and increase throughput in intralogistics systems, a system solution provider also uses decentralized I/O and safety modules.

New technological possibilities are also lowering the thresholds for the digitalization of medium-sized production companies. Nevertheless, a transformation must be well planned and thought through in order to reliably reach its goal.
Reliable communication that leads to secure data exchange between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) is the backbone of digitalization.
