Technology-Initiative
SmartFactory KL e.V.: Researching, developing, realizing together. The
Technology-Initiative SmartFactory KL e.V. was founded in 2005 as a non-profit
association. In close cooperation with the German Research Centre for
Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) the SmartFactoryKL has done pioneer work
concerning the integration of innovative information and communications
technologies and their application in a realistic, industrial production
environment and thus brought Industrie 4.0 to reality. Today SmartFactoryKL is
a manufacturer-independent demonstration and research plat- form with more than
45 members and unique in Europe. The SmartFactoryKL has
furthermore opened a “Mittelstand 4.0-Kompetenzzentrum Kaiserslautern”. Thus,
small and medium sized businesses in Rheineland-Palatinate and Saarland shall
be supported from the idea up to the realization of Industrie 4.0.
The Institute for Modernization of Economic and Employment Structures mainly concentrates on modernizing already exisitng social complexity. Thus, the IMO Institute wants to contribute to a future-oriented development with regard to economy, sociability and ecology.

The 'ZVEI - Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und
Elektronikindustrie e.V.', the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers'
Association, represents the economic, technological and environmental policy
interests of the German electrical and electronics industry on national,
European and international levels. It provides specific information about the
economic, technical and regulatory framework conditions of the electrical
industry in Germany.

The AutomationML initiative is an open, in 2006
founded industrial consortium which became a registered association with
currently about 50 members in 2009. It welcomes all interested company and
research institute. Leading members are, among others, ABB AG, Daimler AG, KUKA
Roboter GmbH, Siemens AG, Volkswagen AG, Huawei Technologies Duesseldorf GmbH
und BMW AG.
Purposes of AutomationML e.V. are promotion and
further development of AutomationML to standardise data exchange in the
engineering process of production systems. Therefore, AutomationML e.V.
develops and maintains an open, neutral, XML based, and free industry data
representation standard which enables a domain and company crossing transfer of
engineering data. Instead of developing a new data format for that purpose,
already existing formats were used, extended, adapted, and merged in a proper
way. So far, the representation of plant specific data in general and in
special the plant structure, geometry and kinematics, and logic description is
possible. Additional representations for networks, mechatronical systems, and
others are in progress. Hence, AutomationML is the most comprehensive data
format of plant engineering. It is already used in the field and is also
available in several products. Within IEC 62714 all parts of AutomationML are
going to be standardised internationally.
