Industry 4.0 is the digital transformation of manufacturing using IoT, automation, and analytics to drive efficiency, agility, and innovation.
The first industrial revolution dates back to 1760, when we first started using steam power to maximize production. The second came more than 100 years later and took productivity to new heights with improved transportation, mass production, and standardization. Both of these examples helped to move...
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a foundational technology for Industry 4.0. IIoT connects your people, products, and processes to digitally transform manufacturing and service operations.
controller, that is preprogrammed to carry out automatic operations in industrial processes. The PLC continuously monitors and receives information from input devices or sensors, processes the information, and triggers the connected output devices, to complete the task in the industrial process or ...
The industrial Internet is a new infrastructure, application mode, and industrial ecosystem that deeply integrates next-generation information communication technologies with the industrial economy. By fully connecting all elements, including people, machines, materials, and systems, the industrial Internet bu...
IIoT enables industries to optimize their production by offering numerous ways to control the manufacturing processes both remotely and in real-time. IIoT is a combination of information technology (IT) andoperational technology (OT). OT refers to the operational processes and industrial control syste...
which enable all kinds of machines to harness electricity for processing power. Semiconductors are in greater demand than ever: TheFourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is currently transforming manufacturing, production, and, more generally, global business, is characterized by smart computers and...
The industrial production index (IPI) measures levels of production in the manufacturing, mining—including oil and gas field drilling services—and electrical and gas utilities sectors. It also measurescapacity, an estimate of the production levels that could be sustainably maintained; andcapacity utili...
Productivity is a measure of output relative to input. It's typically expressed as a ratio of what is produced (goods or services) to the resources used in production (labor hours, materials, or capital). For example, if a factory produces 100 units per hour of labor, its productivity wou...
