Smart Factory
Major industrial sectors recognize the benefits of digitalization and are now consistently implementing it. On the path to a smart, networked production future, WAGO helps companies make production more flexible and safer while ensuring high system availability.

Open Automation Solutions for the Future Factory

The goal of the Smart Factory is to provide and analyze production data, enabling operators in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, and process industries to make informed decisions based on facts and key performance indicators, whether in production, food processing or the laboratory. WAGO helps you:

  • Increase automation and productivity
  • Achieve efficient production and resource conservation
  • Transparently and functionally network infrastructure
  • Support your company on the path to a sustainable energy supply with intelligent applications

Digitalization with IIoT: Data Acquisition, Processing and Evaluation

To tackle challenges such as resource scarcity, climate change, and rising operating costs in industry, WAGO and Endress+Hauser have initiated a joint digitalization project. The outcome is a customizable I/O solution tailored for brownfield projects.
