All WAGO Products

PLM, ERP, MES – In the industries of the future, software technologies like these will be increasingly used to digitize and automate ordering and production processes. No business headed for smart factory technology can afford to be without them. The people at WAGO, based in Minden, Germany have realized this, too. As early as 2000, the company began to comprehensively digitize its value added chain. Today, the manufacturer of electrical interconnection and automation products not only saves on paper, it also decides when and where orders will be processed in a fully automated manner. This is especially relevant, not only when shipping in-stock items, but also when producing custom products for customers.

The most important foundation for sustainable corporate behavior? Comprehensive information from all business divisions – from sales and purchasing, as well as production as the central part of the value-added chain. Up-to-date data from your machines, systems and processes is the essential prerequisite for implementing future technological changes and puts you one step ahead of the competition. Open automation technology from WAGO provides this information. WAGO Cloud allows access to it worldwide.

Industrial communication must be fast, real-time capable and standardized so companies can meet the challenges of digitization. Therefore, WAGO is committed to promoting OPC UA over TSN as a form of communication that will make the cross-level, manufacturer-independent solutions of tomorrow possible.

This much is clear: Digitization, Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things will permanently alter production processes around the world. In the future, everything will become more efficient, more customized, faster and cheaper. However, before this can happen, many companies face quite practical challenges: How is all this to be implemented in terms of technology? Clearly, there’s no ready-made solution – each company needs its own strategy to get its processes, machines and solutions ready for the digital transformation. However, is open automation technology exists that provides the basis for specific solutions – such as the WAGO IoT Box.
