Über dieses Buch

Christoph Jan Bartodziej examines by means of an empirical study which potential Industry 4.0 technologies do have regarding end-to-end digital integration in production logistics based on their functions. According to the relevance of the concept Industry 4.0 and its early stage of implementation it is essential to clarify terminology, explain relations and identify drivers and challenges for an appropriate use of Industry 4.0 technologies. The results will constitute a profound basis to formulate recommendations for action for technology suppliers and technology users.

Chapter 6. Technology potential and recommendations for action

Abstract

In this section, the results of the empirical study will be interpreted and consequently the technology potential of the key technology Intelligent Objects and its software-based and hardware-based technologies will be identified according to end-to-end digital integration. Furthermore, Intelligent Objects will be applied to technology paradigm in production logistics to illustrate possible chances of Intelligent Objects in this area. Based on the results recommendations for action will be elaborated.
