Industry 4.0 is a project supported by the industrial associations BitKom (Bundesverband Informationswirtschaft, Telekommunikation und neue Medien e.V.), VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau e.V.) and ZVEI (Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie e.V.). The term points to the fourth industrial revolution, at the end of which all machines, products and processes shall be interconnected. To this end, industry uses technology that is also applied within the Internet of Things, such as wireless networks, sensor technology and analytical tools. The interesting approach is, in this context, to take all phases of the life cycle of an installation into consideration, from the idea, development, production, use and maintenance up to its dismantling.
