Open Automation Solutions for the Factory of the Future
The goal of the digital factory is providing and analyzing production data so operators in the mechanical engineering, automotive and process industries can base their decisions on facts and key performance indicators. Whether in manufacturing, food production or laboratory technology, WAGO helps them:
- Maintain high levels of system availability and productivity
- Produce in a way that conserves resources, thus achieving efficiency
- React flexibly to market changes and customers’ needs and
- Give their systems the best possible protection against intrusion despite open automation.
Process Engineering
Process 4.0 is the future, which WAGO has helped shape and champion from the very beginning. Discover the areas, topics and solutions that are important for today and tomorrow in process industry.
From the Sensor to the Cloud
Digitization and the related concepts of IIoT, Industry 4.0, predictive maintenance and digital twins basically describe an essential process: Distributed field data is collected, processed and then made available to different users as needed in the IT network for further analysis.
Digital Plant Customer Applications
Discover exciting digitization projects and look over our customers’ shoulders as they explore the path to the world of intelligent networked production and realize their own factory of the future.
Solutions for the Digital Factory
Digital Plant Gateway
You can only optimize what you measure – that is the motto behind the design of WAGO’s “Digital Plant Gateway” for infrastructure automation.
Energy Management
Power, heat, gas and water: All of these resources have to be measured constantly, and their distribution and consumption must be monitored. On the basis of DIN EN 50001, WAGO assesses the energy efficiency of various media flows in production companies and provides transparency about consumption behaviors and costs in order to uncover potential savings.
Module Type Package
Modular system engineering is one key to increased production flexibility. An overall system consists of multiple independent system modules, each of which represents one or more standardized production steps, allowing efficient system operation.
IoT and Edge Computing
Intelligent processes are requiring more and more computing power, placing corresponding demands on databases directly in the field. With the Edge Controller and the Edge Computer, WAGO offers smart solutions to process applications directly on the machine and for relieving control loads. Collected data can be evaluated directly on the Edge Devices, displayed graphically, and made available to WAGO Cloud.

Explosion protection
Explosion protection is one of the legally required safety domains which for system engineers and planners are responsible. In addition to protecting people from injury, ensuring fault-free production processes and environmental protection are also important responsibilities in their own right.
Cybersecurity
Digitization makes your machine, system and building data available from anywhere in the world. To ensure the integrity of your information in the event of Web attacks and during data transfer, it is necessary to protect it.
Process 4.0 – Into the Digital Future
Through numerous innovative approaches and technologies, the digital transformation of the economy is opening up new ways to improve processes. The consensus is that machines need to communicate with each other in order to function with maximum efficiency.
That Is the Digital Future
Digitization and networking offer great opportunities for every company. To get the most out of them, every company has to do its homework.
