Green SmartFactory 4.0

Green SmartFactory 4.0 is the lighthouse initiative of the IndustryFusion Foundation, in which digitalization and interoperable networking are implemented concretely across manufacturers with IndustryFusion.

Information about the project

Green SmartFactory 4.0 is the lighthouse initiative of the IndustryFusion Foundation, in which digitalization and interoperable networking with IndustryFusion are implemented concretely across manufacturers and new business cases are built. Based on Industry 4.0 criteria, the participating companies develop the management shells (digital twin) for their assets and implement them in real production environments (smart factories).

Main focus

  • Concrete implementation of Industry 4.0 based on IndustryFusion.
  • Cross-site networking of the smart factory.
  • Deployment in different environments (edge, cloud, hybrid).
  • Implementation of added values based on the networked smart factory: production sharing, pay-per-use business models, climate efficiency.

Goals & Benefits

Implementation of "SmartFactory@IBN4.0" with different locations, assets, etc.
Definition of capability directories for different categories of assets
Creation of interoperable Industrie 4.0 products by the Schweißen&Schneiden trade fair in 2023
Joint presentation of the innovative strength of the members (e.g. events, press, ...)
Scaling of the system
Trusted data sharing (Gaia-X))
