The factory equipment sector urgently needs to invest in data-based services in order to secure its long-term competitiveness. This is the conclusion of a market study by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft's lead market for plant and mechanical engineering.
Manufacturing-X is seen as the next step on the road to Industry 4.0, but how could a data room be designed for the data ecosystem? A study presented by VDMA and ZVEI gets to the bottom of this question.
In its study "Security analysis on OPC UA", the BSI evaluates the specified and implemented security functions of OPC UA. Among other things, the focus was on the search for security vulnerabilities.

At the end of April, the OWL Mechanical Engineering Initiative presented the Industrial APP Marketplace: an online platform for Docker containers. What is behind the Marketplace and what opportunities does it offer users? Sascha Heymann from Fraunhofer IOSB-INA explains in an interview.

The SME Digital Network has been offering small and medium-sized enterprises support with digitalization since 2012. The Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Ruhr-OWL is now the 26th member of the network.

Procedures and processes in manufacturing can be optimized through the use of machine learning. However, machine learning is still far from being a standard tool. Fraunhofer researchers have now developed a generally applicable process model.
How can operators of existing interlinked machines and systems create a holistic data picture of the technical behavior and environmental variables of their production lines? One approach is a mobile sensor system developed by Fraunhofer IOSB-INA.
By systematically considering security throughout the entire development process of machines and systems, it is possible to ensure that vulnerabilities in products are minimized despite the large number of new functions and technologies. The implementation.
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is regarded as the key technology for convergent IT and OT networks. Open solutions can contribute to the development of the ecosystem, but which software functions are actually required and which solutions are already available?
