Industry 4.0 - What it really means in an production environment Heinrich.Munz@KUKA.com Lead Architect Industry 4.0 Strategic Technical Consultant KUKA AG Munz Page 2
What is Industry 4.0? Mechatronic Cyber Physical Systems Mass Production Steam Power KUKA AG Munz Page 3
Industry 4.0 is the thorough Digitalization of the Manufacturing Industry A fundamental new rule for business is that the Internet changes everything. Source: IIC Bill Gates, 1999 but in 1999 this only addressed the internet of people! The Internet of Things (IoT) will change much more! I.e. Manufacturing Manufacturing KUKA AG Munz Page 4 Today The future of manufacturing is orange
Administrations Retail Banks The IoT is just a subset of Digitalization Production Industry 4.0 is just a subset of the IoT Industry 4.0 KUKA AG Munz Page 5
What is Industry 4.0 good for? Briefly said: Improve your production with: Standardized Information & Communication Technologies (OPC UA, TSN, AML ) Asset Management (Where are my assets?) Condition Monitoring (In which shape are my assets?) Predictive Maintenance, no unnecessary cyclic maintenance Information down to the fingertips of the workers What will Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence bring? Lot size one: Individualized products by keeping full mass production More efficient collaboration and value chains with suppliers, partners and customers based on modern IT platforms and the Cloud Better life cycle management of the assets (Industry 4.0 user) and products at the customers (Industry 4.0 supplier) New Control Technologies from the Edge/Cloud New Business Models KUKA AG Munz Page 6
