In the context of the increasing digitization of industrial production, the machine manufacturer Trump is considering a. platform for software by. “It takes cloud platforms that are safe,” said Trump’s deputy leader Peter Leibinger Deutsche Presse-Agentur. He does not want to leave that IT companies. “We see this as an opportunity for trump.”

The term industry 4.0 hides the increasing digitization of production. This refers to a communication between machines, but also the use of robots and devices that carry information about their processing chips with him. The development make the increased use of software and the exchange of data and in production needed.

The digitization is a building block for the industry, said Leibinger. “We will never allow that we are marginalized for hardware manufacturers.” At the same time have stocking as a leader in manufacturing technology and a shared responsibility in the German industry. “The question is whether the winner-take-it-all mechanism from the IT industry engages in this case. We simply do not know.”

software is in mechanical engineering and production already in use for years. But often it is tailor-made custom-made for individual companies. A data exchange would help much, Leibinger said. “It will be interesting if it can be worked factory across. There are so-called box in sheet metal processing tools for the optimal arrangement of parts on a metal sheet,” he said. “We offer such programs. But we can imagine that a marketplace such programs leads to significant customer benefits,” Leibinger said. “We can imagine that it takes an open platform to enable new business models -. For example, in the form of apps”

“We can imagine, so as to build a kind of App Store for sheet metal fabrication “Leibinger said. That is far more complicated than offering smartphone apps. “If we offer services that lead to a crash in a machine that costs considerably more than if an app brings a smartphone to crash.” In such a marketplace is likely hackers can not access. “Secondly, I must be sure that my data nothing is done, what I do not know,” says Leibinger. This trust will trump met with, which had shown the establishment of the company’s bank. Trump has founded the Institute in the past year to help customers finance machinery.
