We put 96 products in twelve categories to your vote in December, and now the winners have been chosen! The trophies were presented at a 'Winner's Dinner' at the Seehaus in Munich. These are your "Products of the Year 2024"!
TSN, fast data migration and muting are among the key features of the winning products in the 'Communication & Networking' category.
What requirements does the use of AI place on automation and networking? Do the mechanisms of Time Sensitive Networks in combination with Profinet perhaps form the optimal architecture for AI applications?
How can the decoupling of network configuration and application engineering work in TSN applications? What could future workflows look like and how will engineering tools be affected? A proof of concept based on open source solutions points the way.

Distributors can help to master the three megatrends of electrification, automation and digitalization. The service providers explain how in this issue. Our new article series "ChatGPT in the industry" also starts in issue 1/2-2024.
The added value of TSN results primarily from IT/OT convergence in the end points. Exploiting the potential is still complex and requires in-depth knowledge of network technology. An application-centric, resource-based approach is presented as an alternative.
