 t FORCAM GmbH:\n\n 	FORCAM GmbH is one of the pioneers in the Industrial I
 nternet of Things\, the Fourth Industrial Revolution.\n 	FORCAM is proacti
 vely helping to reduce the skills gap.\n 	FORCAM’s mission is to improve
  productivity in manufacturing.\n 	We are true evangelists for Industrie 4
 .0.\n\nFORCAM GmbH inputs on Industry 4.0:  “When we talk about the con
 nected manufacturing\, we tend to think of it in traditional terms—cable
 s and connectors\, I/Os\, PLCs\, and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
 . With the advent of Industry 4.0/Industrial Internet of Things Revolution
  (IIOT)\, the emphasis is on bringing ideas together\, as well as machines
 . It also means linking all business processes—not in a chain\, as we ha
 ve thought of connection in the past\, but in a truly functional connected
  manufacturing organization.\n\nSilos are being demolished through that op
 erational revolution known as Industrie 4.0 in Germany and the Industrial 
 Internet of Things (IIoT) in the U.S to provide manufacturing with powerfu
 l insight to help streamline business practices and deliver dramatically m
 easurable savings across the enterprise.\n\nBy any name\, the goal is to c
 reate a Smart Factory—to leverage the existing and latent data to provid
 e managers with the tools they need to reduce downtime\, improve human res
 ource management\, cut waste in materials and energy and improve safety. E
 very one of those metrics delivers cost savings right to the bottom line w
 ith no change in suppliers\, capital expenditures or personnel”.\n\nHost
