Industry 4.0+
Understanding Industry 4.0
Understanding Industry 4.0 Manufacturing has undergone several eras of change from the first industrial revolution
The fourth era of change – Industry 4.0 – is driven by connectivity, materials and processing technologies, and collaborative advanced manufacturing networks like I.O.T. (Internet of things)
Industry 4.0 uses new design principles:
Increased collaboration between manufacturing networks through increased connectivity.
Virtualization of manufacturing processes by linking sensor data, with virtual plant and simulation models.
Decentralized decision making.
Real-time capability to collect and analyze data and provide insights.
Flexible adaptation to changes by reconfiguring individual modules.
Increased services orientation and notification.
