Believe it our not, information technology now plays a major role everywhere. Today, major industries are becoming dependent, in large part, on information technology.
This approach of combining industry and the latest developments in technology – specifically information technology – is called Industry 4.0.
What is Industry 4.0?
What exactly is Industry 4.0? Many people are treating it as if it is a new concept, utilizing newly developed technology and teaching new “tricks”. In a way, this is true.
To be more specific, Industry 4.0 encompasses IIoT and smart manufacturing. It combines physical production and operations with smart digital technology, machine learning, and big data to create a more holistic and better connected ecosystem for companies that focus on manufacturing and supply chain management.
Industry 4.0 is all about doing things differently — introducing automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing.
Creating a Smart Factory
The goal is the "smart factory" with cyber-physical systems capable of autonomously exchanging information, triggering actions, and controlling each other independently.
This facilitates fundamental improvements to the industrial processes involved in manufacturing, engineering, material usage, asset performance and management, and supply chain and lifecycle management.
Why Smart Factory is the Solution
Today’s Industry 4.0-outfitted factories are empowered to drive productivity and keeps costs down while ensuring quality and consistency across manufacturing processes globally.
What Is SmartHub?
The boundaries between production and management must disappear, and SmartHub along with other systems must form an integrated unit if businesses are to realize the growth opportunities presented by this new age of intelligent manufacturing.
