Preparing engineers for IT network and industrial production convergence

The pace of manufacturing production and IT convergence is accelerating. Many skilled industrial workers find themselves ill-prepared for the impact that will result from this convergence. As this initiative, which is often referred to as Industry 4.0, gains momentum, the technology knowledge gap is widening for many key professions and needs to be addressed. This whitepaper explains how continuing professional development (CPD) can ease the transition for system integration engineers.
