Open Industry 4.0 Alliance
M&M Software becomes a member
M&M Software has joined the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance. For the company, this is " a logical step.
For M&M Software, joining the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance is a logical step, as Klaus Hübschle, CEO, M&M Software, explains: "The desired interoperability and seamless interlocking of different components means that our customers can implement their digitalization projects quickly, flexibly and with low risk," explains Klaus Hübschle, CEO, M&M Software.
Industry 4.0 combines automation, connectivity, mobility, globalization and security. Many components from different manufacturers are required to implement end-to-end networking. To ensure that the now vast number of IoT components and platforms can communicate with each other without restrictions, an unrestricted exchange of data is necessary, regardless of manufacturer and operator. "Industry 4.0 means intelligent networking and digitalization. However, in order to fully exploit the potential of cloud and edge applications, all individual components need to work together harmoniously," says Frank Schmid, Head of Business Unit System Solutions at M&M Software.
This is where the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance comes in: The partnership-based association of leading industrial companies with different core competencies, such as mechanical engineering, software development or process automation, is committed to the interoperability of Industry 4.0-based solutions and services in order to decisively advance digitalization. Based on existing standards such as OPC UA, a framework is being created into which customers can seamlessly integrate the components and services they require from Open Industry 4.0 Alliance members.
