Mechanical Production (Steam Engine) Mass Production and Electricity

THIRD REVOLUTION- Industry 3.0 FOURTH REVOLUTION- Industry 4.0

Digital Revolution Automation Revolution

 INDUSTRY 4.O-Fourth Industrial Revolution
• Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the way
companies manufacture, improve and distribute
their products.

• Manufacturers are integrating and enabling

technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT),
cloud computing and analytics, and AI and
machine learning into their production facilities
and throughout their operations. 

• These smart factories are equipped with

advanced sensors, embedded software and
robotics that collect and analyze data and allow
for better decision making.
• Using IoT devices in smart factories leads to higher productivity and
improved quality. 

• Replacing manual inspection with AI-powered visual insights reduces

manufacturing errors and saves money and time. 

• With minimal investment, quality control personnel can set up a

smartphone connected to the cloud to monitor manufacturing
processes from virtually anywhere. 

• Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies can be applied across all types
of industrial companies, including discrete and process manufacturing,
as well as oil and gas, mining and other industrial segments. 
 WHAT TECHNOLOGIES ARE DRIVING INDUSTRY 4.0 ?
1) Internet of Things (IoT)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a key component of smart factories. Machines on the factory
floor are equipped with sensors that feature an IP address that allows the machines to
connect with other web-enabled devices.

2) Cloud Computing
Smart manufacturing demands connectivity and integration of engineering, supply chain,
production, sales and distribution, and service. Cloud helps make that possible.
3) AI and machine learning
AI and machine learning allow companies to take full advantage of the volume of
information generated not just on the factory floor, but across their business units, and even
from partners and third-party sources.

4) Autonomous Systems
Collaborative robots are designed to fill the gaps between traditional robots and human
workers and open up new areas for automation. These robots are designed to work in ways
similar to humans, with the added ability to monitor and transmit data.

5) Digital Twin
The digital transformation offered by Industry 4.0 has allowed manufacturers to create
digital twins that are virtual replicas of processes, production lines, factories and supply
chains.
6) Cybersecurity
As connectivity increases, the risk of a potential cyberattack grows alongside it. Any
security breach could damage multiple areas of the business, from supply chain to
operations. It’s absolutely critical that companies prepare and protect their information
systems and production lines from cyberthreats.

7) System Integration
Many manufacturing information systems are currently not fully integrated. With
 

improved system integration, companies can become more interconnected both

externally and internally. This will result in an agile manufacturing environment.
 WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO ACCELERATE
INDUSTRY 4.0?
• In this new digital age, businesses have evolved to improve their cost efficiency,
become customer centric and drive agility within the organisation.

1) Cost efficiency :
Manufacturers consider unplanned downtime and emergency maintenance caused
by sudden failures a major challenge. This can worsen when there are scarce skilled
workers To resolve these issues, companies can install machine learning based
monitoring that can continuously monitor assets and predict maintenance
requirements before a major breakdown occurs on the line.
2) Customer Centric:
 In the digital age, the consumer has become much more demanding in terms of levels of
service and product customisation. The impact of this is that the companies need to
become much more responsive how they produce products and services for their
consumers.

3) Agile:
To create an agile business the factories need to invest in flexible production lines. New
technologies need to be deployed such as robots and cobots to achieve this. A Cobot is a
collaborative robot that can help remove the need of completing repetitive tasks that
humans might otherwise do. This can reduce human error and increase the wellbeing of
employees in the factory.
 SIGNIFICANT GAIN IN ACCLERATING INDUSTRY
4.0 IN INDUSTRIES

1) Optimisation:
Smart Manufacturing and Smart Factories bring with them optimizations and a growing
ability to self-optimize production leading to nearly zero downtime of your
machinery. Optimization will play a major role in keeping high end equipment maintained
efficiently by having the right resources in the right place at the right time. 

2) Customisation:
Communication between the customer and manufacturer will take place directly cutting out
the need for manufacturers to communicate between departments internally or external
providers. Smart Manufacturing allows easily scaling production up or down in relation to
market demand.
3) Reduce Costs:  
Implementing smart manufacturing may have a large initial up-front cost, but if setup
correctly can have a positive impact on your bottom line with the implementation of
automation, systems integration, data management, and artificial intelligence all having a
major role in the profitability of your business.

4) Technology: 
Technology is progressing exponentially and having an increasing impact on our daily lives.
Technologies are being used today in some capacity. Volvo has been testing autonomous
trucks in a shipping port environment to collect data and view the interactions with the
humans working alongside autonomous vehicles.
5) Better Products and Services: 
Whether it be product quality, safety, or customer experiences, Industry 4.0 will drive greater
visibility and throughput for operations, allowing them to continue driving value for
customers to retain business.

6) Strategic competitive advantage:

Industry 4.0 implementation will create products wherein IT is an integral part of every
product This leads to structural changes and scope to create a business opportunity in each
phase of the product life cycle.
7) Manufacturing innovation
The development of innovative technologies which is connected through IoT, artificial
intelligence and smart manufacturing is generating a new wave of innovation in
manufacturing. These new manufacturing processes will be ideally suited to new
product introduction and experimentation in design.

8) Improved product safety & quality

Industry 4.0 will reduce the safety and quality issues. Artificial intelligence will be
applied to quality testing at different phases of the production process, to monitor and
test the product quality.
9) Delightful customer experience
The customer experience engulfs all the aspects of the company openings. It includes
quality of customer care, advertising, packaging, product and service features, ease of use
and reliability.
For an example: the customers will be able to track their products even in the production
line, for customized products.

10) Improved operations

Manufacturing companies will produce exactly what is needed by the customers. The
improved coordination in the supply chain due to real- time data will result in the reduction
of inventory. This will result in fewer quality faults, reduced scrap rate, reliable production
systems, and overall quality level of the manufacturing process will increase
11) Environmental and social benefits
Industry 4.0 implementation will reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, this is because
due to vertical integration data regarding traceable carbon footprints or emission data will
be strictly monitored by an algorithm which will control the various parameters.

12) Greater safety for workers by reducing jobs in dangerous environments because
of the automation production in the Industry 4.0.
 TRENDS of

6) SUSTAINABILITY Everywhere
India Stands To Gain
Significantly From
Accelerating
Industry 4.0.
1) It will allow manufacturers to improve productivity, efficiency, safety and
performance and help position India as a global manufacturing hub.

2) Several Indian e-commerce companies are using advanced data analytics to

gain insights on customer behavior and improve business performance.

3) Small and Medium enterprises (SMEs), which form the backbone of Indian
manufacturing, can leverage Industry 4.0 technologies to become more agile,
enhance productivity, streamline costs and reduce risks.
4) They evolve to meet modern business needs, the more they will stay relevant
and secure new business on a global scale. 

5) Employers will be able to increase the skills of their workforce. New jobs will be
created in the new economy. 

Finally, Industry 4.0 could provide a pathway for Indian manufacturing to

transform to an innovation-led and high-value manufacturing stage.
