Surface finishing 4.0 looks beyond investment in ERP systems or the use of remote sensors or control instruments. It also involves a new sales paradigm. The factories of tomorrow will not just sell machines or products but generate business from total service concepts. The coating industry will deal with complete coating systems rather than with mechanical components and chemistry. Manufacturers will become providers of decentralised services, using and based on persevered digitisation.Surface Finishing 4.0 is no fiction but a nearby reality, already building up today and without being noticed!
