Die Automobilindustrie und die Bedeutung innovativer Industrie 4.0 Technologien

In Germany, the automotive industry is one of the most significant sectors of the economy and is therefore crucial for the overall economy. The success of the industry stems from the high quality, reliability, and functionality of the products, as well as additional services that set it apart from global competitors. A secure development and manufacturing process also contributes to this success, with automation playing an important role. In addition to the use of IT tools, software is central to this process. Industry 4.0 aims for intelligent products, methods, processes, and effective networking: Smart Factory. The necessary development and manufacturing processes, along with the continuously increasing complexity of the products being produced, are currently unmanageable: new approaches and business models need to be found.
