Experience so far

> Trade Unions are driver of digitization

> Job Losses not through firing, but less hiring

> Challenge: training: on the job, modular, life-long

Intelligent assistantsallow complex tasks despite low skills

Pathway: Germany‘s Digital Journey

Aim: National and International Solutions

Step 3: Demonstrator

Step 2: Define challenges and options cross border

Illustrate common understanding with crossborder use case / scenario

Step 1: Common under-standing at national level

Provide recommendations and guidelines (standardization, IT-Security, Training), proof of concept, national standard

Step 4: International Standar-dization/Harmonization

Agree on possible standardized / harmonized solutions,

suggest to international standardization / regulatory bodies

From national recommendations to international standards

structures: Operators are

supported and guided by a

wizard. Solution scenarios are

visualized.

Joint training program : electrical

engineering, business and

information science and

mechatronics engineering. Self-

built kicker illustrates Cloud-to-

Cloud communication for

predictive maintenance.

SmartFactoryOWL is an open research

and demonstration platform for digital

transformation. As an "Industrial IoT

Experience Center (IIoT)", new

technologies can be tested.
