Besides the Internet of Things, handling big data is a basic pillar of Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing industry. Especially in older businesses, there are multitudes of data that cannot be analysed, such as measurement data from the control system or conventional manual inputs. If these data were standardised, stored in a long-term database and built up, real-time analyses and data mining applications could be realised in order to generate knowledge and make predictions.

By Alan Grau, Icon Labs Securing IoT devices is a complex task. OEMs can reduce development cost and time to market by utilizing a security framework that provides key security features. The cost, time and complexity of developing a solution from scratch, or of integrating disparate open source solutions, far outweighs the cost of using a commercial solution.

By Sheetal Borkar By 2020, technological improvements in Industrial Robotics would bring down the cost of the systems and also increase efficiency and productivity. Improvements in artificial intelligence, sensors, and material sciences are expected to open new areas of application

By Punya Prakash and David Zaucha, Texas Instruments To date, the implementations of EtherCAT slave node have largely been dominated by hardware intensive solutions used to perform on-the-fly real-time processing and synchronization. Recent advances in technology have created programmable system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices that offer very tangible equipment costs savings, versatility and longer life cycles to industrial systems users.

Data suggests that manufacturers are increasing their use of automated equipment to add productivity and lower costs, rather than expanding their operations and capacity.
