Visi­tors crowded around the robot cell and the UNS setup, seeing real manu­fac­turing data come alive right in front of them.

A day full of energy and ideas — the OI4 commu­nity left inspired, connected, and ready to keep shaping the future of industry together.

In this hackathon, partic­i­pants created a digital product pass­port example, testing automa­tion and inte­gra­tion in real indus­trial work­flows.

The webinar put the spot­light on DPP: why it is coming, what it means for manu­fac­turers, and how it can flip from regu­la­tion to oppor­tu­nity.

Why OI4 was the odd one out at CD25: showing how SDA makes automa­tion flex­ible, inter­op­er­able, and vendor-inde­pen­­­dent.

A managed envi­ron­ment for AAS-based data­spaces was presented, enabling fast proto­typing, digital twin sharing, and inte­gra­tion into ecosys­tems like Catena‑X.

Experts, users, and providers came together to explore digital solu­tions and co-create inno­va­tion for the process industry.

Hands-on work with PKI high­lighted edge secu­rity, secure MQTT commu­ni­ca­tion, and life­cycle manage­ment as prac­tical ways to strengthen cyber­se­cu­rity.

Decou­pling control logic from hard­ware was shown to enable central­ized control, faster updates, and flex­ible, vendor-neutral automa­tion.

With stricter regu­la­tions like NIS‑2, the focus was on why digital certifi­cates and cryp­to­graphic keys are vital for secure authen­ti­ca­tion, commu­ni­ca­tion, and compli­ance.

In light of recent global trade devel­op­ments — partic­u­larly the sweeping import tariffs and the resulting economic uncer­tain­ties ‑we would like to offer a timely and rele­vant webinar:​

At Hannover Messe 2025, the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance show­cased real demon­stra­tors and joined forces with part­ners to accel­erate Industry 4.0 adop­tion.

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) enhances cyber­se­cu­rity stan­dards of prod­ucts that contain a digital compo­nent, requiring manu­fac­turers and retailers to ensure cyber­se­cu­rity throughout the life­cycle of their prod­ucts.

At WOTS 2024, OI4 showed how open stan­dards and AAS unlock real inter­op­er­ability in digital manu­fac­turing.

This event is exclu­sively for OI4 Alliance members. What did we do? Listen to inspiring talks, share knowl­edge, and discuss the latest industry trends. Check out the recap!

See our recap on how we cele­brated our 5th birthday, paired with great talks with great minds at the HM 24.

Networking, driving projects, and creating real-world impact — the OI4 Knowl­edge Camp 2024 brought together members, their customers, and part­ners, uniting tech users and providers.

Driving open inno­va­tion, building part­ner­ships, and leading collab­o­ra­tive solu­tions to industry’s biggest chal­lenges – that was the focus of OI4 Alliance at SPS 2023.
