Training measures can also be carried out so that employees are trained on virtual machine models, which saves costs and increases security.
💡 Smart factories and networked production 🏭
Smart factories are another cornerstone of Industry 4.0, which would be unthinkable without high-speed Internet. Here, product data is shared internally and across the supply chain in real time in order to optimally match supply and demand. Production is becoming more agile, flexible and customer-oriented. In a fully networked factory, not only the machines communicate with each other, but also products and semi-finished products communicate with the production facility in order to control their own manufacturing process.
🌍 Global competition and high-speed internet 🚀
A high-performance internet connection is a decisive factor in global competition today. Companies with access to faster internet can offer data and services faster, are more flexible and can bring innovations to market more quickly. The availability and quality of the Internet can therefore also influence the attractiveness of a location for companies and investors.
🚀 High-speed Internet and the future of industry 🌟
In the near future, high-speed internet is expected to become even more important, especially with the advent of 5G and eventually 6G. These technologies promise not only higher speeds, but also lower latency, which are essential for Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Metaverse. Experience has shown that extended reality will be even more user-friendly and integrated into everyday work.
The importance of high-speed Internet for private customers, Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Metaverse as well as the associated XR technologies is obvious: Without a fast, reliable and comprehensive Internet infrastructure, progress in these areas would not be sustainable. Governments and companies around the world therefore continue to invest in developing the necessary technologies to meet these needs. Looking ahead to 2024 and beyond, this trend will continue and play an increasingly larger role in our everyday lives and in the global economy.
