Industry 4.0 changes the rules of the game for manufacturing. Connecting real machines with information technologies and the Internet increases productivity.
Companies that use new technologies for industry 4.0 are more competitive because they produce at lower costs and meet customer needs with more flexibility.
One thing is certain: Industry 4.0 is coming and companies that are prepared to implement it now will actively shape and lead the change.
Mechanization, water- and steam power (1784)

Digitalization, automation (1969)
Linking of technologies. Erases the borders between the physical, digital and biological spheres (2011)
The new IoT technology results in more advanced machines and systems that can think, feel, analyze and find patterns, make predictions, communicate and act quicker than we ever thought possible.
“The users’ expectations on service quality and improved connectability will drive IoT based services to improve production processes and delivery precision.”
