The address for future of standardization
Standardization Council Industrie 4.0 as the key to the digital transformation of the industry
In Germany, the stakeholder triangle of Plattform Industrie 4.0, Standardization Council Industrie (SCI 4.0) and Labs Network Industrie (LNI 4.0) is a unique approach for a responsive structure consisting of strategy development and conception as well as implementation through testing and standardization. The three strategic fields of action of the 2030 vision are the core idea for the design of digital ecosystems: sovereignty, interoperability and sustainability.
SCI 4.0 is tasked with orchestrating standardization activities and, in the context of Industrie 4.0, acts as a central point of contact for all standardization-related matters. With this in mind, it combines the positions of the interested expert groups in Germany and represents their interests vis-à-vis international partners and consortia. The German Standardization Roadmap Industrie 4.0 with its recommendations for action, provides a basis for this project and is thus a central tool for international cooperation in the field of Industrie 4.0 standardization. At the same time, the results of this project are fed back into the Standardization Roadmap and thus develop it in line with the current status of the national Industrie 4.0 strategy.
Last but not least, the SCI 4.0 defines the need for new projects and organizes their international implementation.

Constant exchange as the key to success
Addressing the opportunities and challenges of digitisation jointly and globally is a core idea in standardisation for Industry 4.0. With the GoGlobal Industrie 4.0 funding project, the BMWi has been supporting the global harmonisation of national Industrie 4.0 concepts since December 2017, as presented and formulated in the German Standardisation Roadmap Industrie 4.0 as a recommendation for action.
