Many people still consider the universally heralded assets of Industry 4.0 - such as customized, highly flexible, self-controlling production units - as more science-fiction than fact. However, innovative visionaries and pioneers such as Weidmüller Interface GmbH already offer very real market-ready solutions to help manufacturing companies embrace the Industrial Internet of Things and securely manage production from the cloud - and all this without having to replace their entire machine base. The Industry 4.0 cockpit that Weidmüller is exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE 2016 is the perfect example of this year's "Integrated Industry - Discover Solutions" headline. The company is inviting visitors to explore the world of intelligent production.

An enticing multi-display console offers visitors interactive access to a series of networked applications and demonstrators at the stand, and enables them to record and analyze data and to configure parameters – thereby making them the intuitive manager of an industrial production system. The Industry 4.0 cockpit provides a clear insight into how technical systems are networked and suggests end-to-end solutions for customers. At HANNOVER MESSE 2016, Weidmüller is focusing on Industry 4.0 solutions for data analytics, remote maintenance, energy management and condition monitoring.
