The 4th Industrial Revolution
We have entered the 2nd wave of the Industry 4.0 that fundamentally alters the way we live, work, trade, invest, and will reset economic models and how we relate to one another.
The 4th Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) merges the digital, virtual and physical world with 17 colliding trends that each bring about paradigm shift. Each of the trends disrupt every aspect of our lives, economy, every industries and every country with an exponential pace and impact. People are the centrepiece of the Industry 4.0.
The four of industrial revolutions
An Industrial revolution is a period of radically changes that effect society, industries, economies and environments. There are various moments throughout human history, where new technological advancements collide together to new heights, or setting a new bar. Typically due to new technological advancements or discoveries. The industrial revolutions have shaped our world today into a global interconnected society which currently fuels the exponential growth thereof.
The 1st industrial revolution
began in Britain in the late 18th century, with the mechanisation of the textile industry. The invention of mechanical production powered by water and steam started the first of the mechanical automation to create a huge breakthrough in productivity and consistency of production.
The 2nd industrial revolution
began in America in the early 19th century, with the electricity and mass production. It was fueled by the start of mass production powered by electricity and combustion engines to power machine. The first assembly lines were introduced, the use of new materials and chemicals became possible and communication was getting easier.
The 3rd industrial revolution
began in America in the middle of the 20th century with the harness of electronics and information technology to automate production.
In the 1969, the introduction of automation and robotics ushered a new era, the Industry 3.0. Electronics and IT such as internet, mobile, computers, cloud and big data merged into a digital era of the information age.
The 4th industrial revolution
began in Germany in the beginning of the 20th century with the fusion of digital-, physical- and virtual world, also called the cyber-physical systems.
The biggest structural change in the past 250 years is upon us. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the Industry 4.0 fundamentally alters the way we live, work, consume, our economy and how we relate to one another in a scale unlike anything humankind has experienced before.
Origin of the 4th Industrial Revolution
The 4th industrial revolution was triggered by the Germany´s national strategy in 2009 called the “Digital Agenda”. Henrik von Scheel was one of the mastermind behind the Germany’s digital agenda, which evolved into the 4th Industrial Revolution and ignited a global wave of themes on digital Industry 4.0.
