Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Industry 4.0 Sucks! Renegade - reveals the fallacies, febrile fantasies, fabulous fiction, and flatulent fibs that are fuelling the feeble fabrication behind the 4th Industrial Revolution. For almost a decade now I have been heavily involved with Manufacturers, Industries, and Universities in researching Industry 4.0, from a theoretical, academic, and practical perspective. I have always been intrigued by the manufacturing phenomena that is Industry 4.0. So much so that I wrote a best-selling book; 'Industry 4.0: The Industrial Internet of Things. I was so impressed I bought into the promise and seemingly endless potential with great gusto. The future seemed bright - and Industry 4.0 was the future. I revisited my old haunting ground with the full intention of updating and revising my earlier book, which was published by Springer in early 2015 with a new edition for 2022. What I discovered appalled me - Industry 4.0, once the proud and enviable flagship policy for European Manufacturing and the inspiration for many Industry 4.0 initiatives around the globe was now a shambolic derelict town. Not only was its very name misappropriated and used as a soulless generic label leaving it eviscerated of all concepts, principles, and purpose - it is now a meaningless synonym for the equally vacuous 4th Industrial Revolution - a zombie. I In this book, I will detail how and why it all went wrong for Industry 4.0 with quantifiable and documented evidence of its Cathartic collapse and at whose hands. I will explain the avoidable reasons behind the staggering failure rate. Indeed, just over 1% of those who embarked on the journey were able to claim a return of any value, in the form of productivity, efficiency, customer experience, supply chain integration, smart factories, or embarrassingly, any value at all, let alone the desperate hopes of a return on investment. In the EU, the UK, India, China, and even the US Industry 4.0 has failed! The EU commission in 2021 branded Industry 4.0 unfit for purpose and one of the root causes for many of the problems society faces today such as technology monopolies and giant wage disparity - this was coming from Industry 4.0's sponsor and authors! However, Industry was not a technology it was a policy with a robust strategy. If it failed it was due to human ignorance, hubris, and greed rather than any inherent technical deficiencies albeit it was rife with contradictions, ambiguity, and confusion certainty of its own making. But Industry 4.0's failure was a failure of business, technology, and consultancy hyperbole. not of its inherent policy. But all is not lost, there is still hope that Industry 4.0 is redeemable, and as such I propose some tried and tested methods that could help you avoid the all too common mistakes and missteps that plagued Industry 4.0 from the outset and that still prevail even today. Forewarned is forearmed and this information will greatly assist you along your own Industry 4.0 journey. I strongly recommend that you do not undertake an Industry 4.0 journey or even a pilot project before reading this book in its entirety or you will surely fail! Well… 99% of the time.

Download or read book Industry 4 0 User Guide written by Nicola Accialini and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Industry 4.0 appeared for the first time in an article published in November 2011 by the German government that resulted from an initiative regarding a high-tech strategy for 2020. Since then, several cutting-edge technologies evolved at a very fast pace and they are promising to play a crucial role in the development of smart factories. What are the reasons that are pushing us towards a 4th industrial revolution? What are the key technologies? How industrial countries are facing it? What are the main challenges? This book is designed to provide managers, engineers and students with the full picture of the 4th Industrial Revolution, its implications to organisations, its technologies and their applications. This book is divided into 4 main parts: PART 1: OVERVIEW. This section provides a general overview of the 4th industrial revolution. Do we really need a step change? What are the key technologies and the main implications on our way of producing goods? How are industrial countries facing this trend?PART 2: THE KEY TECHNOLOGIES. In this section, we will go through a set of technologies which will be the bricks to build digital factories, the final goal of Industry 4.0. For each technology, we will provide a brief historical overview, we will explain how the technology works and what solutions are currently available on the market. Finally, we will present some concrete ideas for the implementation of pilot projects in an existing facility.PART 3: THE SMART FACTORY. In this section, we will provide a proper definition of what a Smart Factory is. Indeed, designing a Smart Factory is much more than putting some digital technologies together, just like learning a new language is much more than putting some new words together. A Smart Factory combines smart solutions to create a virtuous environment in which workers may take advantage of their cognitive skills instead of doing repetitive tasks. A step-by-step approach for the implementation of a Smart Factory will be provided, and some practical examples of existing factories will be described.PART 4: REQUIREMENTS AND SKILLS IN DEMAND. The last part of the book describes the requirements that companies must take into account if they are willing to develop new smart solutions inside their production facilities. A set of soft and hard skills will be required as well: soft skills include risk management, change management, creativity, flexibility, whereas hard skills include subjects like mechatronics, material engineering, computer technology and much more

Book excerpt: When the term 'industrial revolution' comes into mind, everything starts coming back from scratch. The Industry 4.0' or the digitalization, took place in the economic industry for bringing a great transformation. The approach of the Industry 4.0 is simple and beneficial. The main purpose of the Industry 4.0 is to provide a platform to such companies which haven't reached an international level. At the same time, it is very helpful in bringing and applying new technologies that are used for the Industries in many ways. The Industry 4.0 has given new heights to the digitalization and because of it; the digital technology is serving at the pinnacle. The technology or the technique of the fourth industrial revolution is required to access better information for the smooth working of a company.Along with this, the smooth execution of works, with full security and privacy is also the main concern. The Industry 4.0 is providing better ways for communicating with machines as well as humans. Here is a precise discussion about the whole technique.
