Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 refers to the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It involves cyber-physical systems where physical machinery is augmented with sensors and wireless connectivity to enable it to communicate with other machines and systems. This allows factories to become smart and self-monitoring, with machines analyzing and diagnosing issues without human intervention. Key aspects of Industry 4.0 include smart manufacturing, smart factories, and the industrial Internet of things.

INDUSTRY 4.

0
Industry 4.0 is the subset of the fourth industrial revolution that concerns
industry. The fourth industrial revolution encompasses areas which are not
normally classified as an industry, such as smart cities, for instance.
Although the terms "industry 4.0" and "fourth industrial revolution" are often
used interchangeably, "industry 4.0" factories have machines which are
augmented with wireless connectivity and sensors, connected to a system that
can visualise the entire production line and make decisions on its own.
In essence, industry 4.0 is the trend towards automation and data exchange in
manufacturing technologies and processes which include cyber-physical
systems (CPS), the internet of things (IoT), industrial internet of things
(IIOT), cloud computing , cognitive computing and artificial intelligence.
The concept includes:

 Smart manufacturing
 Smart factory
 Lights out (manufacturing) also known as dark factories
 Industrial internet of things also called internet of things for manufacturing

This primarily focuses on the use of large-scale M2M and Internet of Things
(IoT) deployments to provide the likes of increased automation, improved
communication and monitoring, as well as smart machines that can analyse
and diagnose issues without the need for human intervention.

Industry 4.0 is already seeing factories become increasingly automated and


self-monitoring as the machines within are given the ability to analyse and
communicate with each other. This then free ups their human co-workers,
granting companies much smoother processes that leave employees open for
other tasks.
The First Industrial Revolution

The first industrial revolution happened between the late 1700s and early 1800s.
During this period of time, manufacturing evolved from focusing on manual
labor performed by people and aided by work animals to a more optimized form
of labor performed by people through the use of water and steam-powered
engines and other types of machine tools.
The Second Industrial Revolution

In the early part of the 20th century, the world entered a second industrial
revolution with the introduction of steel and use of electricity in factories. The
introduction of electricity enabled manufacturers to increase efficiency and
helped make factory machinery more mobile. It was during this phase that mass
production concepts like the assembly line were introduced as a way to boost
productivity.

The Third Industrial Revolution

Starting in the late 1950s, a third industrial revolution slowly began to emerge,
as manufacturers began incorporating more electronic—and eventually
computer—technology into their factories. During this period, manufacturers
began experiencing a shift that put less emphasis on analog and mechanical
technology and more on digital technology and automation software.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0

In the past few decades, a fourth industrial revolution has emerged, known as
Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 takes the emphasis on digital technology from recent
decades to a whole new level with the help of interconnectivity through the
Internet of Things (IoT), access to real-time data, and the introduction of cyber-
physical systems. Industry 4.0 offers a more comprehensive, interlinked, and
holistic approach to manufacturing. It connects physical with digital, and allows
for better collaboration and access across departments, partners, vendors,
product, and people. Industry 4.0 empowers business owners to better control
and understand every aspect of their operation, and allows them to leverage
instant data to boost productivity, improve processes, and drive growth.
