Description
Summary:Following the VDMA guideline Industry 4.0 potential ways towards digitalization of production are illustrated using an example from dental technology. The special feature in medical engineering is the responsibility of the physician, particularly in the context of custom-made products. Data security, integrity, and traceability is mandatory in digital processes when responsibility is switching between parties, e.g. dental laboratory / practice. This article illustrates how those requirements can be met.
