Over the years, important challenges and developments have crystallized in the field of Industrie 4.0. These challenges and developments are determined and addressed in the Industrie 4.0 Standardization Roadmap.
Important core and cross-sectional topics of the Industrie 4.0 Standardization Roadmap include, among others, reference architecture models, use cases, systems and their properties, data protection and privacy, functional security and artificial intelligence.
Like the previous editions, the fifth edition of the Standardization Roadmap takes the 2030 vision for Industrie 4.0 as a basis for the design of digital global ecosystems. From a standardization perspective, the focus is on aspects that are of central importance for every digital ecosystem in the current context, such as semantics and properties as the basis of interoperable digital systems, "Industrial Dataspaces" to generate additional added value based on data and "sustainable and ecological aspects of Industrie 4.0", i.e. the implementation of climate and environmental goals with an industrial focus.
To this end, the standardization roadmap illustrates the current state of standardization and the existing gaps in standardization in the area of Industrie 4.0. For each case in which standardization is needed, recommendations for action are provided to make current and future work in the field of Industrie 4.0 easier for affected stakeholders.
The current developments and successes in implementing the formulated recommendations for action are summarised in the "Progress Report on the German Standardisation Roadmap Industrie 4.0, Version 5". The report provides a comprehensive review of activities and shows the progress made on the aspects formulated by Plattform Industrie 4.0 in the 2023 mission statement, such as interoperability, sovereignty and sustainability for Industrie 4.0. It not only documents the status quo, but also provides impetus for further development.
Industrie 4.0 is the new industrial revolution and holds huge value-added potential of over 200 billion euros in Germany alone.
DKE has been working for years with over 800 technical experts on building the foundations of the future of industry because Industrie 4.0 needs networking, safety, communication, intelligence and trust – for technological progress, economic success and safety for people and the environment.
