To ensure the high availability of their logistics operations, Hamberger placed their trus

At the beginning, a guided tour through the SIEMENS appliances factory impressively showed how far the implementation of Industry 4.0 has come. Subsequently, the presentation of the guest honour, Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Johann Hofmann, of the Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen, illustrated the past for a while. His speech started with the punched strip and ended with the Cloud. When looking back, the topic of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) was also mentioned, which already reverberated through the industry 30 years ago - first approach for the factory of the future.  CIM did not prevail, but Hofmann continues to work on the idea.
