NRW is shaping Industry 4.0
• NRW is a pioneering region: realized here we find Cyber-
Physical Systems (CPS), the
Smart Grid and the Internet of
Things as elements smoothing the
way for the success of an industrial country.
• The basis for the roll-out of the
Industry 4.0 location North Rhine-
Westphalia is provided by high-
profile ICT companies and a strong body of SMEs with a large
number of 'hidden champions',
driving forward the development of
intelligent applications across all
sectors.

Applying Robotics/AI: Smart Logistics
• Cyber-Physical Systems in urban supply: Service suppliers in a town or city use a common logistical
infrastructure – a Smart Grid for urban supply.
• Cyber-Physical Systems in goods transportation:
More efficient use of the existing infrastructure, more rational use of resources, intelligent logistics premises, better planning and control
of the process chain, active interplay in the exchange of information
with downstream transportation systems and infrastructures.
• Variable logistics systems: In the future, only variable, self-adapting, 'cellular' logistics systems
will offer the flexibility required.
• The Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML) in
Dortmund is one of the world's largest research establishments in the logistics sector.

Applying Robotics/AI: "Automotive goes autonomous"
• Innovative driver-assist systems already support the driver today, e.g. by keeping the car in the right lane on the freeway.
• Especially with regard to autonomous vehicles, Cyber-
Physical Systems play a crucial role, establishing communic-
ation between vehicles, drivers and traffic infrastructure.
• Sustainable mobility concepts with the integration of Cyber-Physical Systems at their core are of particular importance for
