Make Manufacturing Integration Platforms a Part of Your Industry 4.0 Strategy

Manufacturing companies today are navigating many elements associated with digital transformation. Keeping this wide range of technology applications organized and easily accessible is critical to success in Industry 4.0. That's why Automation Alley member MPDV specializes in manufacturing integration platforms.

Manufacturing Integration Platforms (MIPs) allows manufacturers to combine so-called mApps from different providers as desired. This combination creates an ecosystem which generates great benefits for both manufacturing companies and developers, system integrators and machine manufacturers.

With MIP as the functional infrastructure of the Smart Factory, manufacturing companies gain maximum flexibility while relying on a future-proof IT architecture.
