This statistic shows the result of a survey among industrial companies in Germany, Austria, Switzerland on the current and future application areas from Industry 4.0 in 2015.

Which areas of application from Industry 4.0 are strongly present in companies or will be so in the future?*
** A total of 67 industrial companies from Germany, Austria and Switzerland took part in the study, but only 48 datasets were usable. The largest share of the survey comes from the engineering field (42 percent). The source further notes that half of the companies surveyed employ more than 10,000 employees and 60 percent of the companies participating generate an annual revenue of over a billion euros. Managers from production, COOs, factory and production managers, as well as controllers, those responsible for maintenance and sales employees were surveyed.
The statistic above only displays the top two boxes "very high" and "high".
The source gives no exact information about the survey question. The wording chosen here may therefore differ slightly from the original.
