Hands on Industrie 4.0 (mooc.house)

Das Internet der Dinge zieht in die Fabrik. Wir befinden uns am Beginn der vierten industriellen Revolution – Industrie 4.0. Sie wandelt nicht nur die Produktionslogik, sondern fordert auch die Geschäftsmodelle vieler deutscher Unternehmen heraus. Aus Wertschöpfungsketten werden Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke, intelligente Produkte werden zu Plattformen für innovative Dienstleistungen, Produktionsprozesse und Logistik können in Echtzeit optimiert werden. Die digital vernetzte Produktion soll Ressourcen schonen und Flexibilität zugunsten der Arbeitnehmer ermöglichen. Doch wie können Unternehmen diesen Wandel mitgestalten? Wie können sie Ihr Know-how auch in der Cloud schützen, ihre Mitarbeiter mitnehmen und wie kann die schrittweise Einführung von Industrie 4.0-Technologien im Unternehmen gelingen?
