The figures also reveal that German building contractors are pessimistic:\u00a0 Over 57% see themselves as late adopters of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">But Germany is now back to its role as an industry pioneer. Amazing 91% of German industrial and manufacturing companies are already investing in digitally networked factories. With the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), a separate research institution has been founded to promote digitization with highly qualified employees. The Federal Government has set itself the goal of raising the research, development and application of artificial intelligence to a worldwide leading level. Germany sees itself prepared for the changes industry 4.0 will bring.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e4a17b5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e4a17b5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e93b8f0\" data-id=\"e93b8f0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68ccd6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"68ccd6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-164238\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-394x263.jpg 394w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-915x610.jpg 915w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-1240x827.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-1620x1080.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-127x85.jpg 127w, https:\/\/ekiosk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/industrie4-lenny-kuhne-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4fa8fb1 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4fa8fb1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-91c2b7f\" data-id=\"91c2b7f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b5589a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0b5589a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>How can digital signage be used in industry?<\/h3><p>The idea of the Smart Factory implies that the production should be carried out completely independently, however, humans are not deleted from the equation. With the changing industrial environment, the requirement profiles of employees also change. In the future, the way in which employees are involved in the production cycle will change dramatically. Since all devices and machines can communicate with each other and are embedded in a secure system environment, it is no longer necessary to monitor all work steps. If, for example, a repair is due or a water tank is unexpectedly emptied, the employee is informed. On large-area digital signage solutions, all information is collected in a central control unit. All machine activities and information on further procedures can be displayed here. Digital signage represents the visual communication channel between man and machine &#8211; the interface of the Smart Factory. This is illustrated in the following scenarios:<\/p><ul><li><strong>More transparent production<\/strong><br \/>In order to be able to produce as efficiently as possible, it is important to gain a deep insight into the production chain. Errors would be detected immediately and countermeasures taken to rectify them. Measuring stations of the quality assurance or other places supply data to a server, which forwards these again to screens. In addition to mobile solutions, this data can be visualized on digital signage boards to make the manufacturing process more transparent.<\/li><li><strong>Easily accessible warehouse data<\/strong><br \/>Keeping an overview in warehouses is an extremely stressful task. No delivery should be incomplete, because such inattention can quickly have a negative effect on customer relations. The use of digital signage modules can provide employees with information at a glance as to whether a delivery is complete and ready for export. It can also be used to determine which loads are currently being dispatched in order to be able to provide suitable means of unloading if necessary. It is also possible to transmit data on stock levels or delivery bottlenecks.<\/li><li><strong>Danger prediction through monitoring<\/strong><br \/>In industrial plants with the storage of raw materials in shells and silos, other operating parameters can be displayed on totems.

But not only the core, but also the shell has to meet many requirements. Digital signage boards are enormously helpful in the planning of industrial halls and warehouses.
