Interim CIO: Dr. Claus Michael Sattler
JUMO-ISM Conference 2019: "Integration of sensors in Industry 4.0" with keynote speaker Claus Michael Sattler
In March 2019, JUMO hosted a groundbreaking conference that focused on one of the most exciting topics in modern industry: the integration of sensors in Industry 4.0. JUMO was able to win renowned expert Claus Michael Sattler as a keynote speaker, who delved deep into the topic in his presentation on March 12, 2019, highlighting both the technical and strategic challenges of digital transformation.
The role of sensors in Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 describes the increasing networking and automation of production processes, which is driven by the use of intelligent sensors and systems. In his presentation, Claus Michael Sattler discussed the key role that sensors play in this context. Not only do they provide essential data for monitoring and controlling production processes, they are also a central component of the reference architecture model for Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0), which serves as a blueprint for the implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions.
Sattler explained how sensors communicate with each other in Industry 4.0 and how they can be integrated into a higher-level system using standardized interfaces. Particular attention was paid to the question of how companies can sensibly expand existing systems in order to fully exploit the benefits of digitalization.
Workshops with managers: practical applications of sensor integration
On the two following days, March 13 and 14, 2019, Claus Michael Sattler, in cooperation with JUMO, conducted a full-day workshop for leading employees from sales and technology. In these workshops, the topic was explored in greater depth and specific use cases were run through. The participants gained practical insights into how they can effectively implement the integration of sensors in their own industrial processes.
A key topic of the workshops was the **Reference Architecture Model Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0)**, which provides companies with clear guidance for digital transformation. Sattler explained how RAMI 4.0 can be used as a framework to integrate sensors into a holistic IoT architecture and thus increase the efficiency and quality of manufacturing processes.
JUMO as a pioneer of digital transformation
JUMO, as a leading provider of sensor and automation solutions, has repeatedly shown itself to be a pioneer in the implementation of Industry 4.0. The company offers a wide range of products developed specifically for the networking and automation of industrial applications – from temperature and pressure measurements to more complex system solutions for industrial IoT networks.
The conference and workshops not only offered valuable theoretical insights, but also practical approaches on how companies can successfully implement the integration of sensors into their processes. For the participants, this was an excellent opportunity to further expand their knowledge of digital transformation and plan concrete steps towards Industry 4.0.
Conclusion
The JUMO-ISM Conference 2019 was an outstanding event that once again underlined the importance of Industry 4.0 and sensor integration for the future of industrial production. With his expertise and practical workshops, Claus Michael Sattler made a significant contribution to broadening understanding of the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation. The participants were able to take away valuable insights that will help them to make their own companies future-proof and efficient.
