Standardization as the basis for digitalization Standardization is required in order to parallelize work steps. But what are the expectations for this process? Standardization should increase flexibility and ensure reusability. This can be achieved with the help of libraries, uniform programming languages, and a uniform programming style guide. For example, how can a machine be standardized? The benefits of standardization: A module can be easily changed or swapped • Software becomes more transparent for the through suitable interconnection of function user (service, maintenance) and thus easier...
