Recovering Ground with the Help of 4.0 Industry

From the steam engine and factory mechanization, to the big data and the personalization of products in the mass manufacture. Between these two concepts there are several centuries of distance, the period that has passed between the First Industrial Revolution and the present, the fourth. The latter is also known as industry 4.0 or digital industry.

• With a 17% GPD, the industry sector moves forward for its 4^th
• The new factory model claims a more prepared profile in disciplines like data engineering.

What to expect on this Industry?

The incorporation of robots to the assembly lines, to complete the manual work and the implantation of tools like the big data. This allows the management and use of thousands of data generated in a factory, in order to interpret them, draw conclusions and, from them, to introduce future improvements in the assembly line.

This model is considered as an opportunity to strengthen the industry and make it more efficient in costs and resources at a time when production returns to the ground.

Why this 4.0 Industry is that important?

The 4.0 industry is an important mental change.

That thing about simple factories that were at margin of everything related to digitalization, and informatics system ended up.

Owners and CEOs of these companies, whatever the size of this companies are, that underestimate the phenomenon, they will find with nasty situations. It is not because they will expect a disruptive view similar to mass media, music, publishing, transportation, or logistics.

Otherwise, industry 4.0 will be a source of competitiveness for Western industries with labor costs, energy costs and social commitment levels which are much higher than their counterparts in emerging countries.

What 4.0 industry offers through digitization and the use of connected platforms is:

1. A constant adaptability to demand.
2. Serve customers in a more personalized way.
3. Provide a one by one customer’s post-selling.
4. Design, produce, and sell products in less time.
5. Add services to physical products.
6. Create shorter and sustainable shorter productions.
7. And take advantage to the information for its analysis from multiple channels (CMS, SCM, FCM, HRM, Help Desk, social networks, LoT) where they have to be able to analyze and explode them in real time.

Key Points in 4.0 Industry.

The new industry 4.0 has several axes to which it articulates and that as a manufacturer, you will have to work to integrate in your production plants:

1. Big Data and data analysis.
2. Cloud Computing.
3. Cyber Security.
4. Robotic.
5. The internet to the things.
6. Simulation and prototype.
7. Increasing reality.
8. Culture.
9. Integration of Process.

Yet. The challenge will not rely only on integrating all of those things, and systems or machines can communicate each other. But the real challenge here is how to lead a digital transformation process inside their organization, and work on new connecting environments on 4.0 industry.
