Sponsored by Siemens, Schneider Electric and Phoenix Contact, the next three-episode series takes a closer look at the driving forces behind Industry 4.0. Content includes interviews with experts in the field about how AI, connectivity and edge computing are shaping the the next major step forwards for manufacturing.
The first video, which is already live, considers the topic of digital twins, allowing for detailed hardware simulations of complex operations such as manufacturing processes and entire layouts of future factory floors.
The second video, “The Show Must Go On”, will feature visibility through the use of complex sensors and hardware. And the third, “Thinking Outside the Box”, will examine cutting-edge manufacturing solutions of tomorrow.
“Over the years, the manufacturing industry has continued to grow and become even smarter and more automated,” said Eric Halvorson, partnership marketing manager – strategic programs at Digi-Key.
“We’re looking forward to bringing more of these Industry 4.0 technologies to light and showcasing how the industrial automation space is evolving. At Digi-Key, we’re dedicated to ensuring that engineers have access to the automation and control products they need to keep innovating the future of advanced factories.”
You can view the Factory Tomorrow video series online, in Digi-Key’s IoT Resource Center.
The first season debuted in August 2021. The three-part video series looked at how edge computing can help factories deploy and run field-based machines without the need for central networking.
