With the model-based online tool "Investment Calculator 4.0" and the accompanying guide, the VDMA is setting new standards in the economic evaluation of digitization projects.
Here you will get an insight into all VDMA activities on the topic of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. You will also find publications, guides, information on events and working groups as well as other useful tips for your company.
Digital platforms and the associated platform economy will play an increasingly important role. Value creation in the mechanical engineering industry is increasingly being driven by digital services.
Are you interested in news, events and trend topics relating to digitization in mechanical and plant engineering? Stay up to date with our app "VDMA Software & Digitalization".
In the digital production world, machines from different manufacturers must be able to communicate with each other. This requires uniform standards, in the development of which the VDMA is playing a major role: the OPC UA Companion Specifications.
Technical product documentation is not only a service for the operator, but also offers protection against liability cases, provided it is created correctly. Editing systems help with this.
The guide "Data Protection & Industry 4.0" provides an introduction to the topic of data protection in Industry 4.0 and shows approaches and further information options for minimizing risks.
With this expert page we offer an overview of the different aspects, tasks and requirements of Cybersecurity and Industrial Security. We refer to VDMA recommendations and positions as well as to concrete support from our members and partners.
Companies must be able to make independent decisions about their data and business models. Sufficient IT security is a cornerstone for this; an open European data infrastructure is being sought.
In our podcast, we explore the question of what effects good and bad usability have in mechanical and plant engineering. Clemens Lutsch from Centigrade and Nils Clark-Bernhard from macio give answers.

If used appropriately, it is possible to shorten throughput times and optimize material flow, production and service processes with Big Data.
Networking in the value chain can only succeed with uniform norms and standards. OPC UA is the central building block for interoperability in production.
Industry 4.0 requires changes at all company levels and across the entire value chain. In this context, the question of economic efficiency is increasingly coming into focus. Ambitious innovation projects must become competitive solutions for the global market.
