Industry 4.0 is an extension of a strategic initiative launched by the German government to advance digital manufacturing, and it is regarded as the successor to the three earlier industrial revolutions. The first three advancements refer to specific technologies which have mechanized production, i.e., the steam engine (1765), electricity, gas and oil (1870) and electronics, telecommunications and computers (1969); in contrast, the fourth industrial revolution encompasses an aggregate of technologies and a shift towards smart automation and interconnectedness.
The Industry 4.0 vision refers to a smart manufacturing paradigm whereby technological advances are leveraged to enable a seamlessly integrated operation. Here, digital technologies underpin daily operations, and virtual and physical systems have a lot of crossover. 4.0 concepts are being applied across industries to improve efficiency, ease compliance and accelerate research and development. In this article, we look to the technologies and innovations that will define the future of science.
