The term Industry 4.0 is the name for the future project of networking and digitalising industries and structures. It is the fourth of a series of industrial revolutions that have emerged through many years of progress. It started with industrial mechanisation using water and steam power. The following revolution was driven by the invention of the assembly line and electrical power, which again boosted the economy. The third revolution, also called the digital revolution, was the automation of processes and production. Mainly through the use of computers and digital solutions.
Industry 4.0 now goes one step further. It uses the advancing digitalisation to intelligently network the machine, the human and the product. In this way, the diverse elements within the industries come into a more efficient exchange with the help of communication and information technology.
Networking can be used at many levels and in many areas:
- Flexible production:
In the production of a product, many machines and people from different companies have their fingers in the pie. In order to maintain an overview and a good communicative exchange here, it is essential to connect these different key elements digitally.
- Customer-focused solution:
However, digital networking does not only have to happen within a company or production, but can also be used between the producer and the end customer. In this way, the exchange and closer communication can be promoted so that, for example, the customer can individually customise his product and the producer, after commissioning, can view the usage data. The product can thus be monitored and developed even better.
- Convertible factory:
Taking the customer's individual wishes and requirements for his product into account is very important for customer satisfaction. In order to still implement this individuality in production efficiently and cost-effectively, the production machines must be divided into modules and adapted quickly and precisely with the help of digital solutions.
- Optimised logistics:
In order to bring a commodity safely from A to B, many things must be taken into account and is a complex undertaking. In order to enable a smooth flow of goods, the communicative exchange and data tracking is essential. In addition, algorithms can determine the best delivery route.
- Use of data
Through better exchange of data between the machines themselves, as well as humans, much data can be evaluated and analysed more easily and quickly.
Germany is one of the leading international locations, with around 15 million jobs at the same time, which depend on the manufacturing industry. The platform aims to bring Germany to the leading position in the manufacturing industries and drive the economy forward. It develops fundamental framework conditions as well as concepts to master future challenges. It also provides recommendations for action for science, politics and companies and drives not only national but also international exchange.
Working groups are also being formed to develop concepts, solutions and recommendations on key topics of Industry 4.0:
- Reference architectures, standards and standardisation" working group
- Working group "Technology and Application Scenarios
- Working group "Security of networked systems
- Working group "Legal framework conditions
- Working Group "Work, Education and Training
- Working Group "Digital Business Models in Industry 4.0
The great progress and achievements that can be made with the future project Industry 4.0 naturally also offer many opportunities. Economically, many successes can be recognised at an early stage through networking. Through monitoring and increasing transparency, production and processes can be analysed and improved more precisely. This increases efficiency and saves resources and money.
Companies can react faster to new requirements or changes in the market. Instead of dealing with long, complicated programming, modern machines and IT solutions offer better alternatives.
The many changes are also making themselves felt in the workplace. Due to the high degree of intelligent networking and auxiliary systems, it is possible to perform work even at an older age. In addition, work can be made more flexible and offers employees an improved work-life balance.
The mission statement for 2030 mainly revolves around the German economy and is central to the implementation of Industry 4.0. Here, reference is made to 3 fields of action that determine the framework for action.
1. sovereignty
Every person should be able to make independent decisions and act in free competition. The prerequisite for this is an open digital infrastructure that is accessible to all, as well as security in digital exchange and general data protection.
2 Interoperability
All actors must be willing to work together and network efficiently. However, this is only possible if there are decentralised systems and uniform standards that can enable cooperation.
3 Sustainability
Sustainability is not only a major factor in the ecological sense, but also in the social as well as economic sense, which has an influence on Industrie 4.0, but is also strived for by Industrie 4.0.
