Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0….. is it just a buzz word thrown about? What does it actually mean? And how does it have an impact?

We went straight to the source and asked the founding father and driving force behind the Industry 4.0 workgroup- Henrik von Scheel.

 

What exactly is the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

The 4th industrial revolution brings the fusion of the di­gital, the physical and the virtual world, and is the big­gest structural change of the past 250 years. In it's scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has ever experienced before. It is disrupting every industry and economy in every country. Fundamentally it alters the way we live, work, con­sume, trade, invest, and how we relate to one another. Until now, there have been four industrial revolutions:

Industry 4.0 Q&A 1Book cover

  • The 1st industrial revolution began in Britain in the late 19th century, with the invention of mechanical production powered by water and steam.
  • The 2nd industrial revolution began in America in the early 20th century, with the use of electricity and mass production.
  • The 3rd industrial revolution began in America in the middle of the 20th century with the harnessing of electronics and information technology to automate pro­duction.
  • Finally, the 4th industrial revolution began in Ger­many at the beginning of the 21st century with the com­bination of the digital, physical and virtual worlds into what is also called cyber-physical systems.

But despite being already the 4th revolution, Industry 4.0 is the biggest structural change in the last couple of hun­dred years. 

 

This new paradigm marries advanced production and operations techniques with smart digital technologies to create a digital enterprise that will not only be intercon­nected and autonomous but can communicate, analyze, and use data to drive further intelligent actions back in the physical world. It represents the way in which smart and connected technologies can become embedded wi­thin organizations, people, and assets, and is marked by the emergence of capabilities such as robotics, analytics, artificial intelligence and cognitive technologies, nano­technology, quantum computing, wearables, the Inter­net of Things, additive manufacturing, and advanced materials.
