From digital to energy, the new industrial revolution is just getting started

No economic sector has changed more dramatically over the past few years than industry. The transformation has been so radical that people are calling it the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0.

Industrials’ digital maturity is increasing

Process digitization and automation took centre stage in the first phase of the digital transformation., More recently, the focus has shifted to accelerating change with a whole host of innovations based on technologies like IoT and big data.

Industry professionals have realised that the digital transformation means more than just optimising production chains. Robot-assisted manufacturing techniques are only the tip of the iceberg of the transformation brought about by the integration of new technologies.

The digital transformation affects every step of production, from ideas to design, from engineering to production, and from the customer experience to management and operations. We are seeing a long-term systemic transformation that goes beyond technological innovation.

Smart production is driving a shift to real-time production adjustment

Industry is experiencing a set of convergent structural challenges that are shaking up existing models. Industry 4.0 is a new way of organising production resources that involves transforming the processes and cycles involved in production chains. In practice, it means digital design and above all “smart production,” a new approach that promises personalised products.

The goal is to enable real-time production adjustment through a constant dialog between machines and the needs of markets and customers. Certain aspects of design and production can be automated using data integration, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing.

From decarbonisation to relocalisation: the quest for sustainable alternatives

This new approach to production involves challenges that go beyond technology to address urgent, inescapable social and environmental issues. Industry decision-makers have a range of tools available to them as they define the future of their business. To achieve decarbonisation, the key objectives are improving energy efficiency and dramatically reducing the carbon footprint of high CO₂ emissions activities. New design methods can also contribute to reducing waste, materials, and the number of parts to produce.
