Indus­try 4.0/Industrial Inter­net of Things (IIoT) promis­es many out­comes: cre­at­ing a lights-out fac­to­ry, extend­ing machine life through pre­dic­tive main­te­nance, automat­ing mate­r­i­al han­dling, mon­i­tor­ing every detail of the shop floor, oper­at­ing using robot­ics and AI-assist­ed tech­nolo­gies, and so on. The suc­cess­ful adop­tion of Indus­try 4.0/IIoT means embrac­ing mod­ern tech­nolo­gies and secu­ri­ty con­cepts such as cloud, edge, IoT, big data ana­lyt­ics, wear­ables, and hyper­automa­tion. This means you need  a well-defined and pur­pose­ful ref­er­ence archi­tec­ture and a tech­nol­o­gy foun­da­tion built on a uni­fied dig­i­tal plat­form that can bring con­tex­tu­al data across man­u­fac­tur­ing oper­a­tions and busi­ness processes. 
 
Dur­ing this ses­sion, sub­ject mat­ter experts will bring to light major archi­tec­ture prin­ci­ples, includ­ing secu­ri­ty, inter­op­er­abil­i­ty of IT and OT, porta­bil­i­ty, open­ness, mod­u­lar­i­ty, and exten­si­bil­i­ty. Deloitte will also join to share how it brings val­ue to cus­tomers on their jour­ney to SAP Indus­try 4.Now’s dig­i­tal journey.

Key top­ics cov­ered will include:

• Open ref­er­ence archi­tec­ture with SAP Busi­ness Tech­nol­o­gy Platform
• Approach to key inno­v­a­tive tech­nolo­gies such as ana­lyt­ics, AI and edge
• End-to-end secu­ri­ty and IT/ OT Integration
