Within these plants, the key aspects of INDUSTRIE 4.0
are demonstrated in an intuitive and accessible
way. The central research and demonstration platform
of the SmartFactoryKL is its hybrid demonstration
plant which can produce a customized
product (soap bottles) in the batch size one to customer
specification. Terms of requirements, structure
and complexity of the laboratory system with
industrial production in practice is absolutely comparable.
Functional electrical components (i.e. controllers,
sensors, actuators) from different vendors
are flexibly networked. Communication systems
operate wirelessly, both within the system as well
as for overall control levels.
