The features of Industry 4.0 include:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>Reduce or even eliminate paper<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A company venturing into Industry 4.0 digitalizes as many documents as possible. Whether they are commercial documents, forms, work instructions, guides, purchase orders, product specifications, etc. This saves time, because there will be fewer data errors and also, there will be a decrease in costs.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>Real-time control and monitoring of machinery and production equipment.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is possible to install wireless sensors on the various manufacturing machines or equipment that allow monitoring production and recovering data in real time. In this way, it is possible to operate making precise tracking of the different productivity states: being able to identify, correct and make strategic decisions with a better overall view. This aspect is called the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT).<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>Transformation to 'intelligent' processes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By using \"artificial intelligence\" or \"augmented intelligence\" programs, it is possible to predict failures in companies, which will improve production.<\/p>\n<p>With the certainty provided by big data, the production line will never stop due to a major maintenance problem.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>Experimenting with 3D printing<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Currently, 3D printers are very powerful and allow for quickly resolving complex solutions. With these tools, we can design prototypes, manufacture complex shapes, or even create highly customizable products according to customers' desires and moods. Something that the fourth industrial revolution offers as part of the digital transformation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>Connecting products to the Internet<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another characteristic of Industry 4.0 is the use of sensors to monitor the different uses of products. They can be used as a maintenance detector so that customers can directly perform predictive maintenance. It is also convenient to use smart products to add the automation of different services according to their uses and see business models that you can offer grow.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>Integrated computer networks \/ Internet of Things<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is possible to integrate tools into the network (Cloud) to stay in contact with your customers, your suppliers, and your business partners. To perform all these tasks, you will use an extranet or an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system for business-to-business commerce. A transactional website for consumer commerce is possible.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>Big Data<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Black gold, as it is called in the IT world. Collecting, classifying, processing, and analyzing data are the key important points to improve their value within your business. No matter what product or service you do, there is always data to analyze and create a value chain.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>Cybersecurity<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Industry 4.0 becoming increasingly connected and using big data, effective cybersecurity will be even more important. By implementing Zero Trust architectures and technologies, such as machine learning and blockchain, companies can automate threat detection, prevention, and response, minimizing the risk of data breaches and production delays in their networks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"color: #544492;\"><strong>In summary<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Industry 4.0 has the potential to drastically improve the productivity of your business. Although there are many topics such as security and the network, and the cost of implementation, if achieved, a significant improvement in productivity can be expected.<\/p>\n<p>A smart factory that learns in real time no longer needs human instructions, and can automatically place orders when production materials are running out, and can even perform maintenance work during downtime autonomously, as if it were thinking for itself.<\/p>\n<p>As consumer needs diversify and product lifecycles shorten, the importance of smart factories that enable rapid product development increases.<\/p>\n<p>Let's move forward thinking about the future.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The objective of this Industry is to create an autonomous production in which people, machines, systems, and products communicate independently of each other.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-industria_4-0"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":353822,"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307\/revisions\/353822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xamai.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
