Pepperl+Fuchs promotes ‘Manufacturing-X’ initiative

As a company that has already helped shape understanding of Industry 4.0 by contributing to the Reference Architecture Model Industry 4.0 (RAMI), Pepperl+Fuchs and its subsidiary Neoception will be attending the Hannover Messe to show what the next stage of Manufacturing-X evolution may look like.

With the Manufacturing-X initiative, the Industry 4.0 platform is creating a sovereign data space across industries and companies – with the aim of enabling multilateral cooperation along supply chains and taking digital value creation processes to a new level.

Pepperl+Fuchs will have several exhibits with interlinked content at Stand D76, Hall 9, which will demonstrate the intelligent use of different technologies and standards to create continuous digital collaboration within a data ecosystem.

Implementing and utilising an ‘Asset Administration Shell’ (AAS) as a key component for integrating objects and assets into digital value-added networks lies at the heart of this application-driven concept. The demonstration ranges from discrete medium-sized production environments to corporate structures in the process industry.
