The topic of Industry 4.0 also involves risks and problems. In this context, the issue of security plays a major role: the automated data exchange of networked production systems must be designed reliably and securely, the identification of process participants must be controlled and the know-how of products, machines and systems must be protected. Furthermore, norms and standards are crucial for cross-company networking and the integration of various value creation networks.
As part of Industry 4.0, companies increasingly have to deal with the automation of manufacturing processes. The introduction of cyber-physical systems is an example of this. By networking individual production steps, higher quality standards are set and individual production is made possible. This system of networking and automating manufacturing processes is generally referred to as a smart factory.

In 2016, about 45 percent of small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S. believed that a digital presence was very important to their companies, and about 43 percent said it was important. According to 77 percent of small and medium-sized business owners, a digital presence helps attract customers. About 63 percent of them said that a digital presence could also improve the company's image. In the future, almost 60 percent of small and medium-sized business owners plan to invest in a new website or improve the existing one.

Import Export China

The country's major imported products include machinery and electronics such as vehicles, integrated circuits, chemicals, metallurgical products, mineral products (crude oil, iron ore, etc.), rubber, plastics in primary forms and textiles.
The Chinese agricultural sector has also become increasingly dependent on imports in recent years. China is the world's largest importer of soybeans and meat and is a leading importer of dairy products, wine, other foods and drinks.
In 2013, China became the world's leading trading nation, overtaking the United States. China's total imports and exports reached 31.5 trillion yuan in 2019. The trade value of goods imports exceeded $2 trillion this year, accounting for nearly 14 percent of global imports and making China the world's second-largest importing nation. As for services trade, travel and transportation-related service imports account for around 75 percent of all service imports in China.

Plan a solar and photovoltaic outdoor system or open space system

Do you have a piece of land and don't know how to use it economically?
The more sealed the area, the more ideal for outdoor photovoltaic systems . The less agricultural land that can be used for ecology (low-yield), the more suitable an outdoor solar system is. By the way, there are also interesting combinations of agri-photovoltaics that can be used for both ecology and photovoltaics without negatively affecting natural resources.
ground points are crucial . They are a key figure for evaluating the quality of the soil. As early as 1934, as part of the Reich soil assessment documented in the 'German Soil Map' ( DGK 5 Bo Each federal state regulates itself which areas can be used for agriculture and how many ground points an area can no longer be approved solar park
Sensible use of already sealed areas or properties
Areas that have already been sealed usually already have a use for which they were built accordingly. For example, there is the company building, the warehouse, the production building and also the company parking lot. With photovoltaics, their function can be profitably expanded as an additional source of income or used as an autonomous power supply for your own market advantages. This is about the higher future costs for environmental protection regulations, power peaks (infrastructure and network stability) and CO2 balance.
The CO2 balance, also known as the greenhouse gas balance or CO2 footprint, will become more important in the future if there are tax and cost surcharges in the CO2 labeling of goods and services.

Courier, express and parcel shipments in Germany

Sales in the courier, express and parcel industry in Germany rose steadily between 2009 and 2019, which is mainly due to the boom in online trading. In 2019, the turnover of the CEP industry in Germany was around 21.3 billion euros. In the CEP end customer market in Germany, Deutsche Post DHL had the highest share of sales in the 2017/2018 financial year at 69 percent.
Almost 513,000 people were employed in the CEP industry in Germany in 2019. This was almost 200,000 more employees than in 2002. The total income of employees also rose sharply by 2019, from almost 7.7 billion euros in 2002 to almost 18.3 billion euros in 2019.
The number of shipments delivered has been growing continuously since 2010: In 2019, almost 3.7 billion shipments were sent. Germany is one of the countries where a comparatively large number of packages are sent per person per year. According to a forecast, slightly fewer parcels will be sent in 2020 due to the Corona crisis. According to the “Connection” scenario, the forecast shipment volume for the German CEP industry in 2024 will be almost 4.4 billion euros. This means that the volume of shipments would be slightly lower than the volume that would have been achieved this year, according to the source, without the consequences of the Corona crisis.

Since early human civilizations, people have had to transport objects from one place to another. The growth in economic performance and industrial specialization led to the establishment of larger transport routes. Better use of technology with advances in science allowed us to deliver to multiple locations much faster with less effort. The logistics industry connects the business world, and this connection is evolving in response to the changing needs of the market.
The emergence of the market for courier, express and parcel services (CEP) is an example of developments in the logistics industry. Changing customer needs and the dynamics of the global economy pushed the logistics market to respond with changes to create new opportunities. One of the market needs was the demand for a faster, better and safer way to transport both industrial goods to facilitate industrial production and consumer goods to satisfy the desires of customers around the world.

The worldwide statistically recorded export of goods increased more than 19-fold between 1960 and 2017. From 1970 to 2014, world trade volume increased from 0.3 to 18.9 trillion US dollars.
The globalization of politics opened the markets to a globalization of culture and language. The number of telephone connections on the global telephone network has increased tenfold since 1960. In addition to the telephone, new communication technologies are developing: cell phones, VoIP telephony, video conferences over IP, faxes and the Internet. Internet-based telephony enables globally networked collaboration through a cost-effective, permanent, high-quality communication connection. Cross-border communication processes have multiplied, especially via the Internet, and the number of Internet connections continues to rise exponentially.
