The smart choice for smart factories
Known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, the future beholds a growing number of smart factories powered by smart semiconductor solutions. But Industry 4.0, an initiative of the German government, is more than just smart factories: it’s better integration of customers and business partners. And it connects the entire value-added chain, from supplier and producer all the way to the customer. The success of Industry 4.0 hinges on powerful, secure and smart components like those from Infineon.
While Industry 4.0 promises huge gains in resource efficiency, product individualization and greater adaptability, it presents new challenges a well. Especially in terms of security. Thankfully you can rely on our unparalleled expertise in embedded security to optimally protect Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments from a range of threats. As Acatech member and part of the Industrial Internet Consortium, Infineon is also actively shaping industrial advances of tomorrow.
Modern factories are complex systems that, at first glance, consist primarily of a production line. In fact, the structure of an automated manufacturing system usually contains several functional levels, all of which are interconnected through a communications infrastructure.
Challenges common to industrial automation systems – like the demand for power-efficient and industrial grade components with guaranteed long-term availability – influence which solutions best suit industrial applications. For example, a microcontroller that doesn’t support an extended temperature range simply doesn’t fit the bill. What’s more, your success depends on factors such as the planned time to market, the right price point, and the assistance of application-related road maps.

Podcast: The future of factories
Field level
At the lowest level, the field level, motors and their drives, robots, conveyor belts, gearboxes, sensors, actuators, valves, and pumps are installed to ultimately produce a fully manufactured good at the end of the manufacturing line. Infineon’s power supply and sensor components provide the potential to achieve peak efficiency and robustness. This hardware-dominated factory floor is controlled by programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with their associated input and output devices. Both interface with a logical, software-dominated control floor and the physical operating technology (OT). Commands are translated into voltages and currents so that the equipment on the factory floor responds accordingly. Conversely, information and signals from sensor systems that measure pressure, flow, presence, or currents, for example, are prepared for digital processing in the PLC.
- Human Machine Interface (HMI)
- Robots & Drives
- Machine vision
Given the harsh environment in industrial settings, a human-machine interface (HMI) device must be particularly robust. On the one hand, it must be easy to operate. On the other hand, it should offer different access levels. And the price-performance ratio should be right. Ideally, all components can be sourced from a single source - this means less effort for you and the certainty that the microcontroller, power supply and peripherals work together seamlessly. Across all hierarchical levels of industrial automation, HMI systems enable operators or process control engineers to interact with running systems. HMI can be haptic, visual, or auditory, as well as fixed or portable, depending on system requirements and usability needs. The latest generation of Infineon microcontrollers and memory products meet the demand for an easy-to-develop approach.

Industrial robots have become increasingly prevalent in industrial environments. There are several motivations for the manufacturing industry to consider industrial robots: Production cost is a rising factor while prices for robots keep falling. Production quality and precisely repeatable processes are essential, and dirty and dangerous actions are made for industrial robots to relieve human workers from working in these environments. Infineon’s components and system solutions are well suited for industrial robots as a whole.

Factory communication
All devices in the factory communicate with each other either wired, e.g. via Ethernet, or wirelessly, via Wi-Fi or a local 5G network. Especially when mobile devices are used on the production line in conjunction with the warehouse system, Infineon's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® controllers find their way into the network equipment. Any OT or IT is nothing without the power supply on. Whether it's a power-hungry drive or oven system, a control cabinet, a PC/server landscape, or a tiny, loss-optimized sensor system, Infineon's forte is semiconductor devices for high-efficiency power supplies. In addition, Infineon provides reliable semiconductor devices for circuit breakers that ensure factories always run in safe mode and are not damaged by electrical faults in equipment.
- Wireless communication
- Wired communication
Realtime communication amongst the various hierarchy levels of industrial automation systems is key for efficient operation of a modern factory. With mobile robots, automated guided vehicles and other portable devices becoming more widespread – in particular on the field level –, wireless information and command exchange approaches are increasing its market share, driven as well by internet of things (IoT) as being one of the most exciting market trends. As a leading wireless controller and RF chip maker with strong focus on system understanding, Infineon provides WiFi, Bluetooth and corresponding RF solutions to support customers into taking their devices to the next level of digitalization.

Control level
Industrial-grade and on-demand microcontrollers and intelligent power switches make up a large part of Infineon's product portfolio. If we go one level higher in the industrial automation system and reach pure information technology, PCs, industrial PCs, and distributed control systems dominate the so-called control level. This is where production targets are typically set, current and historical manufacturing data is monitored, and the start-up and shut-down of machines is controlled. Data analysis or the execution algorithms for manufacturing parameters can be done either there, e.g. by receiving computationally intensive image data in real time directly from a machine vision system, or even at the fourth “cloud” level, which may physically be completely decoupled from the manufacturing site. High-level production data management or production planning is performed there.
- Industrial PC
- Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
- Digital input/output (I/O) modules
Edge computing is established as one of the key trends in factory automation: More and more powerful industrial computers enable factory planners to keep computing intensive tasks such as machinery and process control, linking of automation subsystems, data analytics or graphic visualization close to the factory floor. With this, industrial PCs are becoming a second pillar of factory automation. Industrial PC suppliers, on the one hand, may benefit from a rapidly evolving consumer PC technology. On the other hand, they need to provide an industry robust PC architecture that can withstand rugged environmental conditions, is immune to interferences and runs mechanically, as well as electrically, as a stable design without any hang-ups to avoid operational down times.

Digital input and output modules (I/O modules) are key elements of every PLC (programmable logic controller) system. They assume control via PLC’s CPU unit and constitute the industrial automation power interface to and from the shopfloor. One of the most crucial components of a digital I/O module is the switch. Generally speaking, two types of configurations are possible: high-side or low-side. Regardless of the configuration, Infineon offers dedicated solutions that boost your project.
