The goal is to break down proprietary silos in control technology stacks and thus enable an API-based, modern microservices architecture. This should make processes in automated factories flexible and adaptable in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SDA\u2019s pilot customers include Persil manufacturer Henkel. <strong>Marcel Welz<\/strong>, Digital Engineer at Henkel Laundry &amp; Home Care, explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;With the new system, we are able to increase our automation productivity and securely manage both our machine suppliers&#039; code base and our own PLC code base through fine-grained control rules.
