Latest Feedback of the German Machinery Industry on Industry 4.0 - New Report in the Quest Trend Magazine

Along the market survey from Quest TechnoMarketing about the engineering of the machine automation until 2017 the machine-builders also assessed “what Industry 4.0 is supposed to mean for the engineering of the machine until 2017.”

Bochum, Germany, December 01, 2014 --(PR.com)-- 80% of the investigated machine-builders in the ten sectors of the German machinery industry provided their feedback to this question. The following numbers refer to these machine-builders.

The open question without further specifications invited to a likewise open feedback:

A good third of the machine-builders (35%) consider Industry 4.0 to be relevant for the engineering of their machines. This feedback is subdivided into two levels.
16% of the machine-builders do not relate Industry 4.0 to the engineering but express their understanding of this concept. All these statements evaluate Industry 4.0 positively.
For further 16% of the machine-builders Industry 4.0 does not provide any relevance for the engineering of their machines.
A third of the machine-builders has still no opinion on Industry 4.0, among them also statements with Industry 4.0 being still unknown.

From these results a current slight positive approach to Industry 4.0 may be derived.

The report publishes 30 statements of the machine-builders reflecting the complete range of the evaluation regarding Industry 4.0. These statements refer to individual and comprehensive technological aspects of the networking; the situation at the end-users and their approach to Industry 4.0 are also brought up as well as hindrances on the path to Industry 4.0 up to justified rejections of this concept.
