Industry 4.0

What is the Industry 4.0?

The concept of Industry 4.0 refers to the so-called fourth industrial revolution. This involves the digital transformation of the industry with the integration and digitalization of all the industrial processes that make up the value chain, characterized by adaptability, flexibility and efficiency that meet the needs of customers in the current market .

Today

Industria 4.0

Industry 4.0 represents a qualitative leap in the organization and control of the entire value chain throughout the life cycle of the manufacture and delivery of the product. This produces a paradigm shift in society.

1969

Industria 3.0

Characterized by: the change to a greater utilization of the renewable energies, an increasing transformation of certain type of constructions in energy generator, the development of the rechargeable batteries, of the hydrogen batteries, and of Other new energy storage technologies, the development of intelligent grid or electric power distribution Network "smart" (smart Grid), the development of transport based on electric vehicle (all-electric vehicles, as well as fuel cells, using renewable electricity as a propulsion power.

1870

Industria 2.0

The technical innovations concentrated, essentially, on new sources of energy such as gas, oil or electricity; New materials and new systems of transport (aircraft and car) and communication (telephone and radio) induced transformations in chain that affected the work factor and the educational and scientific system; To the size and management of the companies, to the form of organization of work, to consumption, to also lead to politics.

1784

Industria 1.0

It is characterized by: the combined use of these three elements (the steam engine, the use of coal as a fuel and the use of iron) that did arise the so-called machine art: with the application of the steam machine and perfected the development of the metallurgy industry.

In Industry 4.0, sustainability is a key element in its three aspects: environmental, social and economic.

What are the technologies that are leading the Industry 4.0?

Simulation

Computer simulation is the reproduction of the behavior of a system using a computer to simulate the outcomes of a mathematical model associated with the system.

IoT

The IoT involves extending Internet connectivity beyond standard devices, such as desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets, to any range of traditionally dumb or non-internet-enabled physical devices and everyday objects. Embedded with technology, these devices can communicate and interact over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.

Cybersecurity

Is a computer science field that studies how to make sure that the resources of the computer systems are used in the form in which it is defined. Its goal is the creation of secure platforms in which the agents interact (programs and users) just to be able to perform the actions that have been authorized.

Cloud

Cloud computing makes the resources of the computer system, especially storage and computing power, available on demand without the direct active management of the user. The term is generally used to describe the data centers available to many users over the Internet.

Additive manufacturing

Successive overlap of micrometric layers of material, usually in the form of powder, until the desired object is obtained.

Augmented reality

Direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment, the elements of which are combined with virtual elements for the creation of a mixed reality in real time.

Big Data

Data sets that are too large or complex for traditional data-processing application software to adequately deal with.

Autonomous robots

A robot that performs behaviors or tasks with a high degree of autonomy.
