Non-Disruptive Evaluation Kit for Industry 4.0 for Small- and Medium-Size Enterprises (NIKI 4.0) by Sascha Alpers, FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik

1. Non-Disruptive Evaluation Kit for Industry 4.0
for Small- and Medium-Size Enterprises
M2M Alliance, M2M Summit, 11th October 2017, Cologne

2. Motivation
Especially SMEs have a lot of questions conserning Industrie 4.0:
I
4.0
What are
the
benefits?
How to
realize it?
What should be
done?
Can I try?
What are
potential
improvements?

9. Visualization
Effectiveness and efficiency of the use of data is also dependent ...
 from the visualization of the data
 from the possibility to navigate in the data
Visualization depends on the application
 In the office  desktop system
 directly in the production environment
 presentation on Android tablet
augmented reality
Completed extensions
 Multi-Marker support
 Improved robustness
 Flexibility of data visualization
 Integration of an OPC-UA Client

10. Accompanying industrial comittee
 Periodical information exchange
 Requirements from industry
 Evaluation of NIKI 4.0 toolkit
 Current members:
