1. Changes in the past 100 years through structural change 100 years: Increase of productivity in manufacturing: < 4000% 50 years : Increase of productivity in the office: < 4000% 100 years : Income increases due to these productivity increases: < 3500% 100 years : Increase of life expectancy more than doubled (the average in Germany has increase by 38 years) Key objectives for the future and progress: Economic growth and material wealth!

Industrial Revolution This was the beginning of a profound and lasting transformation of Economic conditions Social conditions Working conditions Living conditions The German Government is sure that Industry 4.0 will have a similar effect on our society and country. 5
The Vision: Learning 4.0 Cautions of political visions I had a dream: Vision of the perfect apprentice? Technical Visions enables you to see visually what is possible: Industry 4.0: A vision on the road to implementation Learning 4.0: A vision that still needs to be developed Industry 4.0 requires Learning 4.0 Wer Visionen hat soll zum Arzt gehen! Helmut Schmidt 2002 Whoever has visions should go to a doctor! 6
2. Industry 4.0 The term Industry 4.0 comes from a future oriented project of the high tech strategy of the German government and industry and this development should be promoted as soon as possible. 7
Goals and Features of Industry 4.0 The goal is the "intelligent factory (Smart Factory) Flexible and adaptable 1 piece for one client Self controlling production and logistics All parts are networked and exchange information autonomously Efficient use of resources and environmentally friendly Integration of all stakeholders in business and value add processes The Technologies basis are Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things 8
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) based Platforms Industry 4.0 requires new service based, real time CPS platforms Internet of Humans The Internet of Things and services networking of people, objects and systems. Internet of Things Internet of Services 9
Example: Automotive Manufacturing Today Cyclic manufacture of vehicles on the assembly line Tomorrow Decoupled, fully flexible and highly integrated production systems 10
Information and Automation grow together 11
Information and Automation grow together 12
Key elements of the smart factory of the future 13
3. Evolving requirements and actions according to the final report of the Industry 4.0 Working Group (2013) 6 recommendations for implementation: Standardization and open standards Mastery of complex systems Widespread broadband infrastructure for industry Security as a critical success factor for industry 4.0 Work organization and job design in digital industrial age Education and Training for Industry 4.0 Source: Umsetzungsempfehlungen für das Zukunftsprojekt Industrie 4.0, Abschlussbericht des Arbeitskreises Industrie 4.0, 2013 14
Qualifications for Industry 4.0 With industry 4.0, the integration of IT into the production process will mean massive changes to the: Work processes Work content And require the expansion of the qualification profiles of: Skilled workers in the factories Experienced engineers And especially for those in the training sector Initial approaches to the content of these skills exist today, but full systemization is still a long way off.

Changes to Vocational Education The complexity of the systems are increasing The rate of change of the knowledge increases Production will be taken over by clever automation and robots Future role will most likely be operator of complex systems Systems thinking comes to the fore In the short term, many jobs need to change, modernize and be rearranged Mid-term, some occupations will disappear and new ones will be created 16
4. Learning 4.0 in Vocational Education What is new? What is different? Vocational education will take a back seat Training in complex systems will be required (commissioning, maintenance, and diagnosis) Lifelong learning will be essential Knowledge of IT and networking will massively increase in all occupations 17
In the Automotive Industry, the future of automated 4.0 production has already begun How do we train the people to meet the requirement? Today I want to share with you the experience in Germany.
