ONE-DAY SEMINAR PROGRAM
The Industrial Internet-Of-Things (a.k.a. Industry 4.0) is the combination of several new digital and connectivity technologies, such as low-cost/high-performance sensors, transmitters, cloud data storage and computing (“Big Data”), analytics, modelling and simulation, augmented reality and additive manufacturing (3D printing). It can also be considered the next stage in industrial automation. Instead of isolated automated machines, we have an entire plant (or several plants) connected and working as a system.
Companies have invested heavily (or are on the verge of starting) in new technology but surprisingly many are unable to extract optimal results from their investment. It is not far-fetched to say that Industry 4.0 is something that is going to happen either “spontaneously” or in a planned way, as operations upgrade their facilities and equipment. But technology without intelligence does not yield the expected returns. The long-tested lean philosophy is still the golden standard for thinking industrial quality and efficiency and remains valid in the Industry 4.0 era. It may be even more relevant in these times of doubt and uncertainty, by informing and guiding the transition process.
By intelligence, one means not only a philosophy to guide strategy and actions but also analytical tools to implement them. Enters machine learning, which in essence is a set of statistical tools able to take advantage of recent developments in computer processing power and better algorithms.
Summing up, a successful Industry 4.0 strategy needs three pillars:
Technology + Philosophy + Intelligence
