For each of the three elements described above there are various enabling technologies that are covering the entire spectrum of modern automation technologies. 
Those that are ranked at a higher cognitive level are those that provide the intelligence to each element. Which technology to apply to which element and in what form is subject to the analysis and design phase. For more information see the implementation service for digital value streams below.

Ideally, the broad spectrum of technologies is provided through one cloud-based platform, i.e. an integrative and cost-efficient automation platform. 

It is this automation platform that represents the technology platform on which the business platform as the centerpiece of an intelligent enterprise is operated – see section below.
