Advantages
 
        
        
    Increased availability of machines and plants
- 
	Condition Monitoring allows preventive maintenance without unplanned outages, required spare parts can be planned and ordered in time 
Better quality assurance up to the end user
- Automated quality assurance processes reduce incorrect deliveries
- Data acquisition and processing guarantee at any time traceability or optimized production processes
 
        
        
     
        
        
    More efficient production in small quantities
- 
	Faster changeover times for new product versions, realized by sensors that receive their new identity/function through a main control 
- 
	Increased efficiency through interdisciplinary communication, if e.g. information on capabilities is directly transferred to production planning. 
- 
	Energy efficiency through better utilization and fewer rejects thanks to optimized production
