Industry 4.0 whitepaper
09 June 2015
A newly published whitepaper from Rittal shows the key role IT plays in what is termed Industry 4.0 and explains how companies can establish the infrastructure that is required to bring the concept to fruition.

Now available to download, the "IT infrastructure in the context of Industry 4.0” whitepaper is aimed at decision-makers as well as anyone responsible for production and IT and details the opportunities that Industry 4.0 is creating through new and existing infrastructures.
The whitepaper shows how IT and production can be effectively
interlinked, and outlines the interdependence of "back office” and
"factory” functions. It also highlights the similarity of the challenges
faced by production managers and system administrators as well
as the differences that continue to exist between them. To function
effectively and maximise the benefits afforded by Industry 4.0
the differences between these two parts of the business must
narrow.
