Hyperconnected Ecosystems for Industrial Networks

The Hyperconnected Ecosystems for industrial networks is defined as the networking of all relevant information and its accessibility at any time and from anywhere (hyperconnected). Barriers between network partners regarding data provision and access are reduced and aligned with current demands. The evolution of the network is enabled by its dynamic adaptability and flexible integration of services. Required information should be immediately available at any location in a usable form and possible without additional effort. The metaphor of the social network, in which partners find each other and exchange data and services as needed, serves as the basis for the structures in the network. Industrial requirements for security, sovereignty and transparency must be integrated. The article describes the vision of a hyperconnected ecosystem for industrial networks and the first approaches to its implementation.
