How can existing systems / machines become smartl and connected to the cloud? iesy is going to present practical solutions at the Industry 4.0 User Forum in Stuttgart and provide answers to the most important questions of digitization and Industry 4.0.

The lecture entitled "Sustainable through retrofitting with embedded hardware and software" for example will focus on how modern embedded systems can solve current and future problems in existing industrial plants. Visitors to the event will also gain insights into lean alternatives to large cloud solutions based on private clouds and REST interfaces. Further to this the lecture inclueds a sidekick to a project from the POS world, where several problems were solved at once using a combined hardware and software solution. This example shows that there can also be synergies: Local data storage in vending machines, backup of data in the cloud, evaluation of data via a web interface and visualization and maintenance of data via a hybrid app. The presentation offers practical solutions, encourages and shows possibilities beyond large solutions and systems, without neglecting them.

The Industry 4.0 User Forum on 16 October 2018 in Stuttgart will focus primarily on digital transformation which promises an enormous increase in productivity, but implementations of this concept confront many companies with major challenges at present. The particularly solution-driven and practice-oriented event tries to provide answers to the two most important questions: How can companies retroactively make their existing systems suitable for industry 4.0 and how can useful information be obtained from the large number of sensor data generated? The User Forum Industry 4.0 with its focus on Retrofit & Data Analytics, organized by Markt&Technik, will highlight practical solutions for Retrofit and Data Analytics as well as best practices in digital transformation.
