Welcome to the Future of Manufacturing
Industry 4.0 is going to be a massive wave that will wipe out all the inefficiencies of the manufacturing world and open up brand new opportunities for creating value. We will produce much better products and much more pleasing services, with much less resources and in sustainable ways.
However, the 4th industrial revolution is generally downgraded into individual and dissimilar hardware technologies. This had been frustrating me for a long time, so I decided to write a guide book for managers and engineers at all levels, to tell the essence and building blocks of this amazing new manufacturing revolution. I wanted to create a highly concentrated work full of ideas, real-life examples and personal experience. I'm not trying to make something simple look extraordinary, rather describe a fascinating future in simple terms. I lay the bricks one by one, and conclude with a solid 4-step strategy to make Industry 4.0 real.
