Project description

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is the next industrial revolution. Manufacturers are focussing on client-specifiec production and added-value products. In Germany 84% of the companies feel the pressure to digitize and 57% will significantly change their business model due to the digital revolution. Germany is world leader in the revolution.
