What is Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution, although it is concerned with areas that are not usually classified as industry applications in their own right, such as smart cities.
What is the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
The first industrial revolution came with the advent of mechanisation, steam power and water power.
This was followed by the second industrial revolution, which revolved around mass production and assembly lines using electricity.
The third industrial revolution came with electronics, I.T. systems and automation, which led to the fourth industrial revolution that is associated with cyber-physical systems.
Industry 4.0 Technologies
Generally-speaking, Industry 4.0 describes the growing trend towards automation and data exchange in technology and processes within the manufacturing industry, including:
The internet of things (IoT)
The industrial internet of things (IIoT)
Cyber-physical systems (CPS)
Smart manufacture
Smart factories
Cloud computing
Cognitive computing
Artificial intelligence
This automation creates a manufacturing system whereby machines in factories are augmented with wireless connectivity and sensors to monitor and visualise an entire production process and make autonomous decisions.
