Abstract

Industry 4.0 includes all industries. The practical corporate application, which poses most legal questions, is about a procedure-oriented usage of resources to improve utilisation, to control stocks and to counteract if processes differ from current strategies. Business processes are supposed to be improved regarding connected logistics, management, system connections, buildings, facilities and other supplies as well as the connection of producers and users or rather customers. Additionally, it is intended to achieve process innovations. Moreover, the planning cycle has to be diminished and it must be adjusted to the market.
