be future-proof

What happens when we declare the future to be standard in automation? There are many different ways of predicting the future – some better than others. One of the best is to analyze the past. This reveals that mainstream technologies are not replaced until their development potential has been exploited to the full. For long-term future compatibility, we need to work today with mainstream technologies that will still have enormous performance and development potential in the future. The global megatrends here are Ethernet- and MultiCore-based solutions – these are solutions that will shape the future: be future-proof

The foreseeable future will thus be dominated by a few widespread technologies.

Any company managing today to base its technology platform systematically on these standards will automatically benefit from future leaps in development and performance increases. In this context, future compatibility is determined by another aspect. Technologies and products whose precise functionality and mode of operation cannot even be anticipated yet, will have no choice, if only for economical reasons, but to support these standards. The use of future-oriented mainstream technologies thus also provides the guarantee that it will be easy to integrate such functions into systems in the future.
