Digitization and security retrofit
In order to remain competitive, industry must move with the times and digitize both processes and (infra)structures. The opportunities are manifold: manufacturing companies can increase efficiency, save costs, meet growing functional and safety challenges and develop new business models such as entire "industrial services as a service". But what if the equipment used for this cannot be networked appropriately or is inadequately equipped in terms of cyber security?
To speed up commissioning and increase throughput in intralogistics systems, a system solution provider also uses decentralized I/O and safety modules.

Together with its partners, the Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology is developing a factory networked by administration shells in order to meet energy-related challenges in industry.

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.
