What is Industry 4.0?
For Smart Factory Romania, the future is represented by a closer collaboration between man and artificial machines or systems for optimizing factory processes. This is only possible by digitizing production and training specialists with skills appropriate for future production.
The concept, first promoted in Germany, refers to the fourth industrial revolution, namely the factories that adopted digital transformation, so that equipments can communicate with each other, but also with people, through the internet. These new technologies include networks, 3D printers, IoT platforms, Big Data, robots, sensors, augmented reality (AR), portable devices, cloud computing, etc. At the heart of this revolution is automated communication, with the same semantics for all participants in the interaction, to make the best decisions in a timely manner.
Digitization of production is a strategy for development and adaptation, and long-term planning is more important than ever because the entire organization will be transformed, not just machines, software or suppliers.
