So far, only very few “real” cloud solutions have been implemented in the automation industry.

Real cloud solutions are based on Public Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). This means they are

characterized by an infrastructure and application logic that is shared among the users. While in

particular small and medium-size enterprises (SME) are still largely sceptical about the cloud

approach, there is a sufficient number of potential application scenarios which are ideally suited

for the use of such software solutions.
