Industry 4.0 is the next Industrial Revolution. It involves integrating data from many kinds of sensors to gain the necessary visibility to predict issues and self-diagnose as problems occur. To some manufacturers, the coming age of cyber-physical systems is the inevitable next step. For most, however, these concepts feel quite distant from today’s reality where many plants have yet to adopt the automation technologies of Industry 3.0, and are decades away from mass adoption of Industry 4.0.
While today Industry 4.0 is an aspiration, every company can benefit from greater visibility throughout the production process. This slide deck explores how the manufacturing plant is evolving from recording the past to controlling the present to predicting the future.
What You'll Learn From this Presentation:
-Where your company ranks among the four Industrial Revolutions
-How to get to the next stage
-How increased visibility can have a positive and resounding impact throughout the manufacturing process
-What it takes to embrace Industry 4.0
