From Industry 1.0 To 5.0: Where We Stand, And Where We’re Going

7 defining features of Industry 4.0 ?

As we navigate through yet another industry revolution, here’s what we have learned and defined of the era we’ve been living in for the last decade. See how the defining factors of industry 4.0 are still very much present, and how we can learn from them to anticipate the innovations of tomorrow.? ?

1. Internet of Things (IoT): This refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, and other objects connected through smart technology, embedded with sensors and connectivity software and hardware, which enables them to share data between them, resulting in seamless interactions between separate devices for the everyday consumer. ?
2. Big data: Industry 4.0 relies heavily on the collection and analysis of data to make informed predictions, optimize processes, and personalize user interactions in the digital world. ?
3. Automation: Machines, drones, robots, and other automated systems to perform tasks that were previously done by humans. This is an overlapping topic with industry 5.0 and one that will probably carry through as the focus shifts from the search for greater efficiency, precision, and cost savings, to the maximization of skills and creativity. ?
4. Artificial intelligence (AI): AI has been buzzing for at least the past year more than ever. While this AI craze may be one of the defining factors of the transition into industry 5.0, it is still a part of the industry 4.0 period we are experiencing today. AI tools, as they continue to develop and being perfected, have been critical to industry 4.0 for data analysis and automation.? ?
5. Cybersecurity: As more systems become connected and reliant on data, cybersecurity becomes increasingly important to protect against hacks, power outages, and other cyberthreats. ?
6. Cloud computing: Cloud-based solutions provide flexibility and portability for storage and access to data as well as for running software applications.? ?
7. Augmented and virtual reality: AR and VR technologies are used in Industry 4.0 to integrate the digital and physical world, resulting in enhanced training, designs, arts, tourism, and maintenance processes among others.? ?
