The future of the smart factory depends on embracing greater interoperability, wider connectivity, and the use of open standards.

Yet connectivity can bring new challenges if unprepared. Only an intelligent approach to operations – which combines the latest autonomous software systems and connected hardware – can bridge the gap to Industry 4.0.

With this guide ATOP will provide practical, tech­nical advice on adopting Industry 4.0 technologies and methodologies in a way that is sustainable, safe and successful. It will examine the pres­sures connected, digital operations place on the factory environment, and show how they can be solved through a mixture of integrated software and hardware solutions.
