About

We are the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance. Our mission is to build bridges between various companies in Industry 4.0 and IIoT area, from small ones to the biggest in the world.

The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance is a growing global implementation alliance (non‑profit industrial association) with +100 member companies and partner organizations who are experts in Industry digitalization, I4.0 solutions, implementing AI, and services from shop floor to top floor. The vision of the OI4 Alliance is business acceleration through the implementation of Industry 4.0 standards and vertical & horizontal integration of data and processes.
