Industry 4.0
The Industry 4.0 approach is a guide to digital transformation in the creation of IT infrastructures and their transition to smart production/management processes.
Industry 4.0
Under the name of Industry 4.0, the terms “Smart Factory”, “Smart Production”, “Smart Factory”, and “Factory of the Future” all describe how industrial production will look in the future. These terms indicate a remodeling of production processes, all company processes from the supply chain to the supplier, logistics, to the life cycle management of a product.
- Factory and production planning
- Product development
- Logistics
- Control technologies
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
- Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
- Individual sensors and actuators in the field
The first Industrial Revolution (1.0) emerged with mechanical production systems using water and steam power. With the second Industrial Revolution (2.0), mass production was introduced with the help of electric power. In the third Industrial Revolution (3.0), production was further automated with the digital revolution, the use of electronics, and the development of Information Technology (IT). We are now experiencing the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Structure of Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 is a collective of technologies and concepts that are of value to chain organizations. This structure makes a great contribution to the formation of the vision of smart factories. Generally, Industry 4.0 consists of the following three structures.
- Internet of Things
- Internet of Services
- Cyber-Physical Systems
Basic Concepts of Industry 4.0
- Interoperability involves the ability of cyber-physical systems (e.g. workpiece carriers, assembly stations, and products) to communicate with each other, between humans and smart factories, over the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services.
- Virtualization: This structure is a virtual replica of smart factories. The system consists of connecting sensor data with virtual plant and simulation models.
- Autonomous management is the ability of cyber-physical systems to make their own decisions within smart factories.
- Real-time processing is the ability to collect and analyze data, allowing for quick understanding.
- Service Orientation: Cyber-physical systems, people, and smart factory services are offered over the Internet of Services.
- Modularity provides a flexible adaptation system for smart factories to meet the changing requirements of individual modules.
