Industry 4.0 with PLEIGER Technology

The industrial world has been in constant change since the beginning of the 18th century.

Continuous technological change, international competition, as well as new market and customer requirements lead to the constant further development of products and processes. From time to time, however, this continuous change takes a leap forward and fundamental changes occur.  Today, industrialization is divided into four phases:

• 18th century – Industry 1.0 – Mechanization of work processes
• 19th century – Industry 2.0 – Mass and assembly line production, electrification
• 20th century / 1960s – Industry 3.0 – Computer technology, automation
• Today – Industry 4.0 – Digitalization in the current internet age

The term Industry 4.0 (also IIOT, Industrial Internet of Things) refers to the digitalization of production and describes both the networking of individual components with one another as well as networked systems that react autonomously to changes. Data from an individual sensor is not only visible; in addition to its informative value, it can also serve as the basis for intelligent reactions. Thus, production processes can be optimized independently by the system, autarkic and without external specifications.

In the field of drive technology, the electrohydraulic actuators from Pleiger Maschinenbau offer a suitable building block for the Industry 4.0 system solution.
The electrohydraulic actuators from Pleiger with our “Industry 4.0 Ready Services” help you with the digitalization of your production. In addition to standard signal exchange, a flexible interface also enables wired and wireless fieldbus communication.
