Industry 4.0 in real useapplication example from DMG Mori

▪ Cloud application to support operation planning,

scheduling and dispatching of machine tools.

▪ Optimization of manufacturing data by a cloud

application before they are forwarded to the shop

floor as a verified NC Program.

▪ The required machine data, the tools and control

strategies must be represented and simulated in the

cloud as a virtual machine tool.

Industry 4.0 in real useapplication example from Claas (Farming 4.0)

Corn harvester:

High investment but only

used 22 days per year

Challenges

▪ Autonomously adapt to the

current harvesting conditions

▪ Linking processes and

participantsResult: Increased capacity utilization by at least

10% through intelligent adaption and networking


Success stories from it‘s OWL


Industry 4.0 as a high-level topicSubstantial increase of public interest and political awareness






Industrial separators are

mechanical devices for

separating fluids and

liquids

Separators are used in

many different industries

one important example

being the food

production industry
