Industry 4.0 – The 4th Industrial Revolution. What is it all about? – Auckland – 11 October 2018

The first industrial revolution stemmed from mechanisation through the use of water and steam power. The second revolution occurred when electricity was harnessed to power mass production and assembly lines. In recent decades, the third revolution occurred with computerisation and automation in production facilities. Now the fourth revolution is occurring with the advent of smart factories and the use of cyber-physical systems.

Come and hear about the combination of all the Industry 4.0 technologies: cyber-physical systems – physical assets connected to digital twins – the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), data analytics, additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence are employed to convert manufacturing to “the factory of the future”.
