Let's share where does the third industrial revolution end and the fourth begins.
Andrei Shulha
The third industrial revolution or “Digital revolution” took place at the end of the XX century (since 1970) and is associated with the development of electronics, digitalization, computerization, information systems, as well as the invention of the robot.
The fourth industrial revolution begins in 2011, as the German private-public program industrie 4.0, in which German companies with the support of the Federal government in the form of grants create digital, smart production, devices and products that interact with each other, and provide personalized output.
Kjell Sadowski
Industry 4.0 will begin when market disruption start to occur, due to enough manufacturing companies adopting Industry 4.0 principles.
Graham Burnikell
Currently Industry 4.0 is a vision. Early adopters of connected factory, smart instrumentation, connected supply chain, data re-investment and standardised product ranges have the closest footprint to that vision however, the technology and it’s integration is still in its infancy. The world is still translating the Industry 4.0 vision into the reality of the delivering the actual business model and even mature components of that model need to be integrated into a holistic model rather than be a single well understood individual player.
There’s also an argument that Industry 4.0 isn’t new as a concept rather it’s a label on a future vision or goal. Before we had a label of Industry 4.0 we didn’t think in terms of Industry 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 they were just eras in history where manufacturing methods became game changers to what went before however, each was the building block of the era to follow.
Whilst it’s possible to separate Industry 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 as significantly different from one another Industry 4.0 is more a natural evolution of Industry 3.0 as the Industry 3.0 model matured. The concepts on Industry 4.0 have been around at least since the concepts of SCADA and DCS took charge of the control systems they’ve just become more formulated as technology and modelling of Supply Chain has become better understood. MES, ERP and the wider vision of MOMS embrace many of the inter-connectivity concepts of what is now known as Industry 4.0 however, it’s only now that our understanding of these relationships and our ability to process and connect the importance of large levels of data allows us to look at the bigger picture.
