Industry 4.0 on legacy machines

摘要

Industry 4.0 isn't just about greenfield sites or brand new machinery. Technologies such as sensors and HMIs mean just about any machine can be turned into a smart machine, as we learn from Bosch Rexroth All manufacturing companies, whether large or small, are under constant pressure from their customers for their products to be better quality, lower cost and available quicker. Industry 4.0 should be seen by manufactures as an umbrella term for a toolkit of available technology to enable them to deliver these customer requirements.
