Now to Next
Our Industry 4.0 Executive Guide offers six effective business plays to make the most of today’s Industry 4.0 opportunities. Get practical insights about what's possible today, what's coming tomorrow, and the smartest paths to get you there.

The changing factory floor: From edge to cloud, unlocking opportunities today
Brendan O’Dowd, General Manager of Analog Devices Industrial Business, on how our unique knowledge of industry’s needs across the edge-to-cloud signal chain is generating powerful new opportunities for our customers.
Bridging the Physical and Digital Worlds for Industry 4.0
Kevin Carlin, VP of Industrial Automation & Energy, discusses how to extract more insights from operations and increase productivity. Learn how ADI is enabling the industry to transition from legacy infrastructure to this new digital world.
Flexible Universal Analog IO
Accelerate your time to market by building modular designs with software I/O that can easily be reconfigured for diverse projects and customers. You’ll reduce the number of designs required, save on build and setup time—and you’ll only need to certify elements once. Our first-to-market software configurable I/O delivers easy-to-configure channels and dramatically simplified wiring, freeing up time for more advanced development. For your customers, it means production flows that traditionally take hours to reconfigure can be done in minutes!
ADI Chronous™ Scalable Ethernet Connectivity
Cloud computing and a robust communications infrastructure are the lifeblood of a connected factory. Today’s networks struggle with mushrooming traffic loads and interoperability challenges across myriad protocols. They also need to be able to perform accurately and reliably in harsh, time-critical environments. ADI Chronous takes an integrated hardware and software approach and solves these and other thorny interoperability issues, enables critical deterministic performance to the edge, and ensures networks are TSN-ready – all without expensive capital upgrades.
Condition-Based Monitoring
By maximizing machine uptime and efficiency, the use of condition-based monitoring in automation is already delivering on some of the productivity gains promised by Industry 4.0. Our MEMS vibration sensors technology combined with our precision converter, linear, isolation and power technologies is enabling high quality machine health data to be transformed into actionable insights.
Intelligent Robots and Cobots
Many of the efficiency and flexibility gains from Industry 4.0 will come from the use of more robots, cobots, and other advanced machines. All of which will rely on even more advanced motor control solutions built on systems design, innovative technologies, and strategic partnerships.
Cyber Security: Securing the Edge
In a market that is traditionally slow to change, Industry 4.0 has been embraced at a record pace. ADI’s mission is to enable our customers to more rapidly adopt Industry 4.0 solutions by extending the secure edge and making it easier to implement cyber secure systems.
