demand for composites in key
markets, such as automotive,
energy and aerospace, and
the related quality assurance
efforts have driven the use
of sensor systems. These
systems provide data, the most
important resource of Industry
4.0. Furthermore, focusing on
automated large-scale production systems, present research
and development work in
specific fields of composite
technology - such as sensor
systems for quality metrology
for all relevant parameters and
actuators for flexible handling
systems - are an integral part
of Industry 4.0.
Composite component manufacturers play a role in this
transformation, but material,
machine and peripheral suppliers, software developers and
other participants in the value
chain are also involved. The

challenging due to compositespecific boundary conditions,
complex processes and a
difficult modelling of cause/

software needs to be adjusted,
machine-to-machine communication infrastructure
has to be standardized and
embedded systems, such as
identification devices for
product traceability within the
production flow and during
product lifetime, have to be
customized for composite

As a result, the production
