Industry 4.0 and IoT

The integration of digital technologies into manufacturing is a key trend driving the creation of "smart factories". Cyber-physical systems, industrial communication protocols like OPC UA and MQTT and the use of Big Data for process optimisation play crucial roles here. 

These developments demand sales staff who not only bring technical expertise but also possess strategic thinking.

Industrie 4.0 & IoT


Robotics

The use of industrial robots is revolutionising production processes – from simple handling tasks to complex assembly work. 
This includes innovative technologies such as collaborative robots (cobots), which work safely alongside humans, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which autonomously transport materials, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

To succeed in this rapidly developing industry, you need sales professionals who understand the latest technologies and trends.
