Digitalisation, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 are no longer just visions of the future, but have long since become reality. Companies around the world are increasingly focussing on automation solutions and networking to create products that help us as individuals, in business and as a society.

Automation in the manufacturing industry refers to the control of machines by technology and thus the detachment of the manufacturing process from human labour. One of the aims of industrial automation is to increase efficiency and optimise processes while simultaneously reducing costs.
The term Industry 4.0 describes the digitalisation of industry. This primarily involves the networking of previously separate units such as products, machines, systems, logistics, administration, etc. using information and communication technology in order to optimise the entire value chain.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) focuses on production processes that are to be optimised and their efficiency increased through the use of the internet. The concept of IIoT is therefore closely linked to Industry 4.0 in terms of its objectives and is often used in the context of industrial automation.
