1 day

Overview

We are in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0 as its more commonly known. Of course, with a great opportunity, comes great challenges. But before we delve any deeper, let’s look at what Industry 4.0 is in a nutshell. Industry 4.0 is the of automation information and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. The notion includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing. In essence, Industry 4.0 creates what has been called a smart factory. To elaborate, digital technology has changed the face of industrial and manufacturing world. The convergence of IoT, Artificial Intelligence and robots, among other advancements, has enabled smart factories as well as the quantum leap into Industry 4.0. This involves the integration of the physical and software in production, as well as the service sector. Amazon, Uber, Facebook, ‘smart factories’ and 3D printing, are among modern pioneers of the new industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 is coming fast and to compete in tomorrow’s world, and beyond, tech companies must evolve with the times. So, the question is: are you ready for Industry 4.0? And what challenges will you face in the near future.
