Data must be visible and tangible everywhere and instantly

Data acquisition and monitoring are becoming increasingly important. Ideally, data is displayed and processed in real time in both areas.
Prospects in the automation market
According to Forbes magazine, the demand for workflow automation processes is expected to spike to $26 billion by 2025, up from less than $5 billion in 2018. More than 25 percent of companies use automation in their hiring process, and by 2022, 70 percent of customer service interactions will leverage some AI automation technology.
Business activities and solutions
A high degree of automation also means increased data availability, whether needed in the operational area, the OT or the company’s IT. Data acquisition and monitoring are becoming increasingly important. Ideally, data is displayed and processed in real time in both areas. Especially here, Red Lion’s Edge Automation platform FlexEdge offers optimal data collection and processing between the different enterprise levels.
Anything that offers seamless solution communication with integrated data transmission has a future. Data must be visible and tangible everywhere and quickly. Delayed reactions to failure or downtime cost money and must be responded to quickly.
In addition, data flow requires special protection against cyberattacks, a major challenge for future data processing and transfer, whether within the enterprise or external storage.
Red Lion offers a full range of automation and networking solutions to submit a full OT/IT convergence of data within the factory. IT-security solutions with remote access extend the Industry 4.0 solutions through the recent acquisition of MB connectline GmbH.

Manufacturing with Industry 4.0/ 5.0 to optimise production
It would help if you continued to take care of your physical and mental health, and the companies themselves also perceive this. Ethical and humane guidelines should be an integral part of any corporate philosophy. How the companies implement this is still up to them, but a corresponding overriding stipulation about Industry 5.0 is desirable. Industry 4.0 represents mass production with little or no human involvement; Industry 5.0 brings personalisation and human influence back to manufacturing. Robots, for example, work alongside humans to help them produce the personalised products consumers demand.
The biggest advances forecast for Industry 5.0 involves the collaboration of human intelligence and cognitive computing.
