The "marking professionals on site" explain Industry 4.0

Entertaining and easy to understand: the "marking professionals on site" explain Industry 4.0

Terms such as digitalization, future technology and networking are currently on everyone's lips. There are self-driving cars, coffee machines and fridges that independently order supplies and industrial systems that communicate and operate in a network. People, machines and products are networked with each other - everyone is talking about Industry 4.0, but what does that actually mean?

In Episode 3, REA Marking Professionals Frank Debusmann (Sales Manager Germany) and Daniel Wege (Business Development Manager) address precisely this topic and explain the abstract term "Industry 4.0" in a vivid way.

On site in the Industry 4.0 laboratory at the Gelnhausen vocational school, they jointly shed light on the history of Industry 1.0 to 4.0 and vocational student Max uses a practical example to show how plastic parts are given their QR marking by REA laser in production, which is then checked for readability by a camera. His classmate Johannes shows how the QR code can be used in quality assurance to assign each individual tested part to a produced batch after the load test. At this point at the latest, it becomes clear to the audience what networked processes are in modern Industry 4.0 manufacturing and the importance of network-capable coding and marking systems such as those from REA Elektronik. "Here you are at the cutting edge," says Daniel Wege about the Industry 4.0 laboratory at the vocational school. "And we as a device manufacturer are also going down this path."

Stay tuned and curious: next month's episode 4 will be "masking".
