Only by exploiting the potentials of digital change and the transformation to Industry 4.0 can usage-based business models be implemented efficiently. Industrial trucks such as forklifts and order pickers are equipped with sensors that transmit usage data to billing systems via cloud technologies. Processing via distributed ledger technology and smart contracts is another option, which enables machine usage data to be recorded and billed in real time [2].  &#8230;<\/div>\n<p><!-- GITO PUB shortened content end --><\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;text-align:center !important;margin:30px 0;\">\n<div style=\"display:inline-block;border:1px solid #555;padding:10px;max-width:600px;text-align:left;\">\n<h2 class=\"gito-pub-download-section\"><center>Access limited<\/center><\/h2>\n<p>You are currently <strong>not logged in \/ not yet registered<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To read the content in full, you must have an appropriate subscription.
