INDUSTRY REVOLUTION 4.
Industry 4.0—also called the Fourth Industrial Revolution or 4IR—is the
next phase in the digitization of the manufacturing sector, driven by disruptive trends including the rise of data and connectivity, analytics, human-machine interaction, and improvements in robotics. Augmented reality, machine automation, and more: the 21st-century industrial revolution is digital. Industry 4.0, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and 4IR all refer to the current era of connectivity, advanced analytics, automation, and advanced-man ufacturing technology that has been transforming global business for years. This wave of change in the manufacturing sector began in the mid-2010s and holds significant potential for operations and the future of production. INDUSTRY REVOLUTIONS • Steam propelled the original Industrial Revolution; • electricity powered the second; • preliminary automation and machinery engineered the third; • and cyberphysical systems—or intelligent computers—are shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution. What is industry 4.0 in engineering? • Many companies call themselves leaders of digital transformation. Industry 4.0 refers to the companies in the new age of digital manufacturing and supply chain management that more fully employ advanced technologies and digitally transformed processes and practices to create smart and connected products. four foundational types of disruptive technologies (examples below) that can be applied all along the value chain:
• connectivity, data, and computational power: cloud technology, the
Internet, blockchain, sensors • analytics and intelligence: advanced analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence • human–machine interaction: virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), robotics and automation, autonomous guided vehicles • advanced engineering: additive manufacturing (such as, 3-D printing), renewable energy, nanoparticles Advantages • One consumer-packaged-goods company in Asia built a digital twin of its supply chain to simulate different scenarios. During the pandemic, the company used this simulator to prepare for sudden shutdowns or disruptions in the supply of materials. • When one coffee machine plant in Treviso, Italy, transformed itself from an uncompetitive site into a manufacturing lighthouse, labor productivity rose by 33 percent and lead times fell by 82 percent. • Of the surveyed companies that had not begun implementing Industry 4.0 technologies, 56 percent felt constrained in their responses to the pandemic’s challenges as a result. Digital transformation • Digital transformation is the process of adoption and implementation of digital technology by an organization in order to create new or modify existing products, services and operations by the means of translating business processes into a digital format. 4Ps of digital transformation • Product, Price, Promotion and Place, the marketer's mainstay, are still current and required in today's environment. However, each of these Ps sits somewhat precariously on processes and technologies that cross departmental lines and ownership/responsibility. Example of digital transformation • Using machine learning and recommendation algorithms, it uses advanced technologies. One of the company's mobile applications helps choose the best shoe based on a leg scan. A 13-point map of the feet is created by scanning the feet Goal of digital transformation • Digital transformation is the integration of digital technology into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers. Benefits of digital transformation • Enhanced data collection. • Higher level of efficiency and productivity. • Quality improvements to products and services. • Reduction in costs. • Improved management of resources. • Better business model. • Providing a better customer experience. • Profit growth.
