Usage of Retrofitting for Migration of Industrial Production Lines to Industry 4.0 Abstract: Today the term Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is omnipresent and many machine builders want to benefit from the researched advantages by integrating this new technologies such as OPC UA into their products. However, due to financial reasons it is not feasible to exchange existing industrial production lines with the new I4.0 ready technologies at once. Therefore this paper will propose a retrofitting approach for the gradual migration to I4.0 by providing a defined schedule with milestones and showing different problems which can occur during retrofitting. In addition to that a new business model called Retrofitting as a Service (RaaS) for future companies will be introduced to show a possible usage of retrofitting.
