IIoT / Industry 4.

„Industry 4.0 is the name of a

future project for the
comprehensive digitization of
industrial production.…“
IoT refers to the increasing
networking between "intelligent"
objects both among themselves CODESYS:
and externally with the Internet.
Pioneer in providing
IIoT is the concrete use of IoT
modern technologies to the
technologies across industry
boundaries. automation industry.
