At PointPub Média Communications, we’re constantly on the lookout for new and evolving technologies. Industry 4.0 obviously doesn’t fly under our radar. In fact, some of our customers have already begun to benefit from its advantages: IT monitoring, process automation, and more.
The changing world of industry
It’s hard to sum up some 250 years of industrial history in just a few lines. Today’s world is a logical evolution of all the industrial revolutions that preceded it.
We have gone through the advent of mechanization, coal and steam power, electricity, gas and oil, new means of communication such as the telephone, then the Internet, new means of transport with the automobile and the airplane, and so on. Each industrial revolution, each period, has brought new improvements to the way we do things. We’ve reached a point where it’s no longer enough to add a more efficient machine to improve our results. We have to take advantage of digital technologies to multiply the effects!
What does Industry 4.0 offer?
Industry 4.0 is about using digital technologies to improve, optimize and increase productivity and product quality… In short, it’s about our ways of doing things becoming intelligent.
The possibilities are numerous:
- Real-time monitoring of your equipment, at every stage or manufacturing station;
- Prevention of future failures or repairs;
