The aim is to enable individual machines in production halls to be networked with the cloud as simply (and, of course, securely) as possible. To this end, an open and interoperable ecosystem is to be established between the manufacturers of machines, systems and software, for which the alliance did not define any new standards, however, instead drawing on existing sets of rules.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5a56c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f5a56c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Agile architecture for the end customer<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40fccfc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40fccfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An open architecture based on RAMI 4.0 was developed as the technological foundation for this, itself based on the four building blocks Device\/Edge Connectivity, Edge Computing, Operator Cloud and Cloud Central as well as associated services.

Now it is a matter of convincing users, system integrators and factory operators of our OI4 approach.

Imagine a typical use case for smart manufacturing: In most cases, we are dealing with a highly heterogeneous machine park, which has grown organically in some cases and combines different manufacturers, machine generations, interfaces, and protocols, not to mention several types of software. Anyone who wants to enter the market here with a \u201cclosed source\u201d solution will sooner or later come up against limits, for example when a connection does not work, and recognize the need for a partner network. It is precisely for this reason that at OI4, the specialists for individual problems come together at one table to develop holistic solution concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e03538 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4e03538\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Courage to develop new solution concepts<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83bd991 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"83bd991\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-family ); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-size ); font-style: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-style ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-primary-letter-spacing ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-primary-text-transform ); text-decoration: var( --e-global-typography-primary-text-decoration );\">As far as the implementation of the OI4 architecture is concerned, I would like to emphasize that we always rely on standards and best practices taken from concrete IIoT customer projects. Concepts such as containerizing software packages, harmonizing data close to the machine, and configuring software from the cloud are all topics that OI4 contributors, like us at Device Insight, are familiar with as IoT providers, striving to best meet the needs of new use cases. However, in order to actually fill the envisioned open ecosystem of OI4 with life, we need even more openness and willingness on the part of users and operators to try out the alliance&#8217;s solution concepts. That is my wish for the future \u2013 loosely based on the saying: \u201cNothing ventured, nothing gained.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hendrik Nieweg is a member of Device
