- Intelligent components with plug-and-produce capability
- The plant has a virtual emulation – this will enable automatic start-up and reconfiguration
- Rapid balancing of capacity utilisation in a production network
- Automatic adaptation of production lines to ordering capacities through simple, rapid extension or reduction of the manufacturing facilities
- Simple compensation for defective production units
- Control of production is becoming more intelligent and adaptable
- Automatic start-up and reconfiguration of facilities
- Customer-specific production
- Humans and technology are cooperating to an increasing extent
