1 IT Technlgies Industry 4.0 Definitin Industry 4.0 is nt a new technlgy, nr is it a business discipline, but a new apprach t achieve results that weren't pssible 10 years ag thanks t advancements in technlgy. See chart belng fr cycle f industrial revlutin prgressin. 1 The first industrial revlutin saw Britain mve frm farming t factry prductin in the 19th Century using steam. The secnd spanned the perid frm the 1850s t Wrld War I and began with the intrductin f steel, culminating in the early electrificatin f factries, the assembly line, and mass prductin. The third industrial revlutin refers t the change frm analgue, mechanical, and electrnic technlgy t digital technlgy that tk place frm the late 1950s t the late 1970s with the advent f cmputers and the beginnings f autmatin, when rbts and machines began t replace human wrkers n assembly lines. 2 The furth, is the mve twards digitizatin f the manufacturing sectr. Industry 4.0 will use the Internet f Things (IT) and cyber-physical systems (integratins f cmputatin, netwrking, and physical prcesses) such as sensrs having the ability t cllect data that can be used by manufacturers and prducers. Cmputers and autmatin will cme tgether in an entirely new way, with rbtics cnnected remtely t cmputer systems equipped with machine learning algrithms that can learn and cntrl the rbtics with very little input frm human peratrs. 3 Industry 4.0 intrduces what has been called the smart factry, in which cyberphysical systems mnitr the physical prcesses f the factry and make decentralized 1 Wikipedia. 2 What Everyne Must Knw Abut Industry 4.0, Frbes, June 20, What is Industry 4.0?

2 decisins. The physical systems becme Internet f Things, cmmunicating and cperating bth with each ther and with humans in real time via the wireless web. 4 The term Industrie 4.0 was first cined in Germany in 2011 t acknwledge the significant number f new develpments in science, materials, manufacturing prcesses and sensrs that greater cmputing pwer has unlcked in the last few years. 5 There are fur key technlgies that are enabling Industry 4.0. The first is the cmbinatin f data, cmputatinal pwer, and cnnectivity. With this trend, we see cmputers getting s small and cheap that we can put them int just abut anything. The cst f cmputing in the clud and the cst f the netwrk have gne t nearly zer, and s the use f sensrs and the ability t mnitr the physical envirnment and run analytics has becme extremely cheap. The secnd technlgy is analytics and intelligence. That is where breakthrughs like machine learning and artificial intelligence are taking place. The third technlgy is human-machine interactin. Even with autmatin, humans are nt ging away. It has becme easier fr humans t interact with machines thrugh tuch interfaces, vice interfaces, augmented, and virtual reality. Augmented reality will play a huge rle here. The last enabling technlgy is the digital-physical cnversin. This is what allws yu t create things quickly, such as multi-material 3D printing. The cmbinatin f these technlgies is ging t change the way manufacturing is dne ver the next years. 6 Practical Areas / Implementatin Industry 4.0 will require a new peple hiring strategy. Instead f hiring fr skills and experience; learning ptential shuld als be a factr. In additin, gd leadership is imprtant t avid the cnstant turnver f emplyees wh want t learn, adapt, and grw in rder t ptimize new technlgies. 7 The Smart Factry shuld be smart in many ways. It shuld make ptimal use f all resurces including emplyees; it shuld be envirnmentally smart, and nt just t meet cdes r regulatins; quality shuld be ensured upfrnt rather than enfrced later thrugh crrective actin; it shuld be predictive, prviding cntinuus imprvement; and it needs t cmmunicate infrmatin in real time. 8 Industry 4.0 fuses the prliferatin f emerging technlgy develpments in industries that vary frm artificial intelligence t renewable energy. 4 Ibid 2. 5 Industry 4.0: The Manufacturing Revlutin and Its M&A Impact, Livingstn, March Industry 4.0 Explained by A Leading Venture Capitalist, Frbes, April 2, Ways t Transfrm Yur Peple Strategy fr Industry 4.0, Industry Week, May 30, The Practical Applicatin f Industry 4.0, Autmatin Wrld, September 17, Page 2 f 10
