Making the Internet of Things usable

Companies can already take their first steps towards implementing the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 right now. Even though nobody knows when the fourth industrial revolution will really come – but, when it comes, it will lead to a Copernican revolution. So, wherever economic potential can be leveraged with a reasonable amount of effort using the technological possibilities which already exist, it makes sense to start introducing - step by step - suitable infrastructures now.

Fraunhofer IML can support your company with individual services and formats to further develop and exploit the potential of the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0.
