Phoenix Contact places key
importance on digital quality
Along with product quality, Phoenix
Contact also places high demands
on quality within the digitalization
process. This is evidenced,
for example, by the appointment
of a new Chief Digital
Officer (CDO). The electronic
and automated data
exchange happens using
eCl@ss, the globally
recognized and standardcompliant
standard for
Industry 4.0. eCl@ss enables
the cross-industry standardized
classification and clear
description of products and
services throughout the entire value
chain, often across companies. This
makes it easier for customers to gain an
overview of their processes, such as production.
Working together with business partners is made more efficient.
