At ACHEMA 2015 the organisations NAMUR, ARC Advisory Group and ZVEI will host their joint forum "Automation in Dialogue". On all five exhibition days a range of talks will cover the major themes of automation technology in the process industry in a variety of different formats.
Industrie 4.0 - a trend in processing?
For several years we have seen a growing trend of information visibility in the industrial space. Companies are seeking to obtain data from existing equipment and make it available throughout the enterprise. One of the primary drivers of this development has been the need to exchange information with internal and external business systems and processes. This describes the essence of the Industrie 4.0 strategy.
The following information technologies and developments need to be kept in mind as they have the potential to be disruptive, as they could significantly change the way companies do business: big data and analytics, cloud computing, internet of things, intelligent assets, mobility, social technologies and 3D visualization.
In addition to high-profile panel discussions, visitors can acquire up-to-date information on selected topics in "Meet the Experts" and then join the experts for an informal discussion in the foyer afterwards. The spotlight will not only be on hot topics, such as Modular Automation, IT Security, and Energy and Resource Efficiency, but also on the latest developments in Industry 4.0 and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Additionally, the more traditional topics like Asset Information Management, Explosion Protection and Functional Safety will be addressed.
"Automation in Dialogue" will take place daily in the foyer of the ACHEMA Automation World from 15th to 19th of June 2015 in Hall 11, Level 1, Foyer Northwest.
