Industrie 4.0 Component & Implementation Guideline

What exactly is an Industrie 4.0 component and how can it be used? Before Industrie 4.0 physical components only coexisted with their virtual counter-image. While the physical asset and its digital representation had no possibility to interact with each other. The Industrie 4.0 component closed the gap between both worlds and enabled the exchange of information. The Industrie 4.0 component consists of a physical part and its virtual asset administration shell or ASS which describes the entity’s look and behavior completely. This lesson provides you the basics you need to know about Industrie 4.0 components. Learn how to use the VDMA-Guideline for Industrie 4.0.

In this learning unit, you will get to know the Industrie 4.0 component. In this context, you will be introduced to the Industrie 4.0 guide and its implementation. This guide supports small and medium-sized companies in the German mechanical engineering sector in identifying potential for products and production in relation to Industrie 4.0 using a systematic approach and in developing their own concrete ideas for implementation. The guide describes a suitable procedure for direct application in the company.
