Bridge to the Smart Factory: Developer Ecosystem for the Digital Factory

FORCE Bridge API is the first application programming interface (Open API) for Smart Manufacturing. The initiative of IIoT providers, users and universities aims to close the gap between conventional factories with heterogeneous machine controls and the IT standards of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The aim of the initiative is to further develop the FORCE Bridge API web interface as a bridge to the smart factory and thus establish an open industry standard with diverse application possibilities through the constantly growing app ecosystem.
