Abstract :
Features of shopfloor-related information and communication technologies (ICT) or manufacturing execution systems are and will remain indispensable even in Industrie 4.0 - the industry after the forth industrial revolution. In practical operations, however, managers repeatedly wonder what development trends will appear in the automation pyramid and how shopfloor-related ICT systems will be enhanced in the future. The presented paper will highlight some of the major trends.
