Industry ready 4.0 industrial manipulators
Industry 4.0 … what is it?
In a nutshell, Industry 4.0 is the 21st Century’s industrial revolution!
It cannot have escaped anyone’s notice that everything has gone digital, from online shopping to instantly knowing how much energy your house is using, minute by minute. There’s even a mobile app that is available which can show you who is ringing your doorbell when you’re not home. It was therefore only a matter of time before the manufacturing industry embraced the new technology available across the world and began its journey to digitalisation.
What is Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0 is defined as “the next phase in the digitalisation of the manufacturing sector”[1]. Using data exchange and analysis, automation and human-machine interaction, it is possible to create a ‘smart factory’ where systems are able to communicate with one another through a digital network.
