The open Ecosystem for Industrial Automation
As innovation cycles shorten, automation systems must be able to be adapted ever more quickly in the future.
For many companies this means a change in thinking, changes in processes and other approaches. For example, know-how will have to be purchased more often in the future and many further developments and innovations will be created primarily by communities and the creativity of many idea providers. Flexibility and efficiency will become the most urgent requirement for us all. That means, reuse what has already been developed and proven, and maximum openness. Openness in thinking and openness of systems.
That’s why we have developed PLCnext Technology. PLCnext Technology is the open ecosystem that expands the use of a PLC in ways that will change the future of industrial automation.
