Industry 4.0 prototyping, 00 examples

These examples assume you are seeking some logic or structure to Industry 4.0 prototyping e.g. a leader wanting to understand and increase knowledge as the team progresses, a coder transitioning from another sector. If you just want to blast away then there are lots of places to start that journey from, link.

The examples will have the team mastering one or more key tasks, a connection, a data transfer, a data processing function and a visualisation building to a complete infrastructure diagram capability.

The examples will focus the team on the task at hand, offer further information and guidance resources and a email/forum to ask for further assistance. It is not the intention of this blog to do a team’s homework, rather to provide just enough help those who are willing.
