The world is going digital - this applies to our private lives as well as to large parts of our work. In the process industries, the focus is often on end-to-end digital engineering, the analysis of big data, or the utilization of legacy data. But in what way can digitalization change daily work routines and increase work efficiency? A practical example is provided by the specialty chemicals company Lanxess, which has abandoned the classic clipboard, thus demonstrating very clearly what digitalization actually means and what benefits it offers.
We interviewed Andreas Hennecke, Pepperl+Fuchs Product Marketing Manager and Ambassador for Ethernet-APL about the development and possibilities of Ethernet-APL for the process industry.
