Baden Wuerttemberg is one of the most innovative regions in Europe for industrial high-tech domains thanks to the variety of companies aside with long grown infrastructure of universities and research centers.  With this basis, Baden Wuerttemberg’s enterprises and research facilities try to exploit the capabilities of digitalization and transfer it to industry in order to raise productivity as well as efficiency of production. Those efforts were started with a national work group called “Industrie 4.0” which is not only a group but also a collective term containing automation, data exchange and manufacturing technologies.
