When physical things are equipped with smart sensor and microchip technology and completely connected to one another, they autonomously transmit information and data digitally over the Internet. With the aid of these interfaces, real things can be controlled remotely via virtual commands – in a cyber-physical manner. The data and information exchanged faces a growing number of risks. Inadequately secured systems are open not only to espionage and data theft, but also to malevolent manipulation. Infineon has developed security solutions that combine innovative hardware security and state-of-the-art Encryption technology – after all, it's better to be safe than sorry. Infineon has developed a broad range of easy-to-deploy semiconductor technologies to counter growing security threats in the IoT. These solutions enable system and device manufacturers as well as service providers to capitalize on growth opportunities by integrating the right level of security without compromising on the user experience. Complemented by software and supporting services, our hardware-based products create an anchor of Trust for security implementations, supporting device integrity checks, Authentication and secure key management.

The purpose of Industry 4.0 is to make manufacturing more flexible, efficient and sustainable through communication and intelligence, thus increasing the competitiveness of German industry. One major component of this approach is control technology, which is still far from reaching its full potential. Improved communication methodologies and the rising convergence of information and automation technologies will deliver significant progress – something Beckhoff has always focused on with its PC-based control technology and fieldbus communication. Beckhoff provides the foundational technologies and tools needed today to implement Industrie 4.0 concepts and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, all via PC-based control. TwinCAT engineering and control software packages are available for the creation of applications such as Big Data, pattern recognition as well as condition or power monitoring, in addition to traditional control tasks – which can sustainably increase production and engineering efficiency as a result.

zenon® is COPA-DATA’s industrial automation software for ergonomic and highly dynamic process solutions. Based on the latest Microsoft technologies and products such as the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and Windows 10, it allows for end-to-end Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) solutions – from the field level up to the Azure cloud platform. Customers from both private businesses and the public sector highly benefit from COPA-DATA’s software zenon in terms of operational excellence, new business insights, increased productivity/efficiency, savings of valuable resources such as energy and water, significant cost savings and more.

Andoit Technologies believes that in the year 2020, the world will be more connected, wireless networks will connect more machines than people and M2M technology will help us to be more energy and cost efficient, safer and more secure. This is the era of connected intelligence. With over 25 years’ experience in delivering scalable SCADA solutions into industries such as water and waste water, utilities, oil and gas, mining, telecommunications and a host of other industries, Adroit Technologies was placed to leverage its SCADA solution and build the Adroit M2M platform. Adroit’s Agent/Object architecture within the I/O Server offers a lot more built-in functionality such as scripting, transacting data into databases etc. saving users massive development time.

The competitive advantage of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is at your fingertips. The technology that enables these advantages is here now and well proven. Intelligent, connected systems provide scalability to seamlessly grow with your manufacturing needs. Are you ready to capitalize? Our commitment is to the development and manufacture of sensors, identification systems and connectivity solutions for every area of industrial automation. We already offer the necessary technologies for implementing Industry 4.0 and IIoT solutions. • Integration in successive stages as budget and time allow • Prioritize projects based on need with scalable implemention • Capitalize on existing control architectures to quickly realize Industry 4.0 and IIoT
