There are huge opportunities for both manufacturing companies and IT companies, but there is also a need for action.<\/p>\n<p>Opportunities arise, for example, from increasing transparency in the value creation process and greater flexibility in existing corporate networks. On the other hand, IT companies can use new software and services for these new <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-edw01d843rq24bwzxivc3sse28f9r6xp\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Business models<\/span> Realize sales potential.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-b5lfrt9vznl6xuf3m4oyzmmtwz6iuxbe\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">SAP<\/span> is a sought-after discussion partner for customers and partners to find individual solutions for the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-zcb4oql823e5smtlptxh79wmoeng47a6\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Production<\/span> of the future together.

Networking across company boundaries reduces complexity, resulting in optimization and increased efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Several key technologies are needed to make this a reality. Among them, Big Data, cloud and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, as well as mobile <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-n915cy14nf6snktxzml6msmusjnjghds\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Technologies<\/span> the main role in order to achieve the vision of the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-ntmjpa0p0qp73d5fyrv7esyk15cau9w0\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Internet of Things<\/span>the Internet of Things (IoT).<\/p>\n<p>The <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-uilvifnkwve93d9d57b9bqwl8iqamz2r\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Factory<\/span> of the future will adapt more quickly and in a more individualized way to the needs and consumer behavior of the individual. Just as personalized offers are taken for granted when ordering online, personalized products will be available to order in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Production companies must be able to fulfill this flexibility - at the level of individual end products. This is where Industry 4.0 comes in. At the same time, products are becoming smarter and processes more efficient and sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Smart products, for example, also enable the tracing of their components or even raw materials: a recall action by an automobile manufacturer, if one is necessary at all, will then not go to the buyers of a particular batch, but will inform the affected vehicles and their owners directly.<\/p>\n<p>One example whose widespread application will soon be a reality is 3-D printing. This technology will soon allow us to <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-jsrol6zj4bo9muzpy9tkwusc5e79alqe\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Production<\/span> of spare parts to any location in the world, making conventional logistics processes almost obsolete.<\/p>\n<p>To summarize: First helps <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-06uds78vbta34lha19ygo5zbewhsab8l\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">SAP<\/span> its customers and partners to overcome challenges for manufacturing companies and develop innovative solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the importance and complexity of IT in a globalized world with ever shorter product life cycles, complex production and logistics processes, and increasing market dynamics, companies are required to respond more flexibly and quickly to these requirements. Secondly, digitization is the only way to enable a truly networked <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-3wjray2276l6bxrjgu3cudd45aqmwt9e\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Economy<\/span> and radically new <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-ucfj1kuwvbjab7u0uq3chqh09n2oxfoi\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Business models<\/span>.
