The document described the characteristics of the industrial production of the future as follows

cobots

The reason we mention it in the context of quality is that this is certainly one area where you see ________ popping up (________ is a fancy term for advanced collaborative robots or put more simply: robots that fit a collaboration between man and machine).

fourth industrial revolution

The term **industry 4.0** is used interchangeably with _________ in industry.

track and trace possibilities, structural health monitoring

These are two examples of CPS-enabled capabilities we tackled previously and how they really are IoT uses cases.

cyber-physical systems

They are seen as the basis and enablers of new capabilities such as 'condition monitoring', 'remote control/monitoring' and 'track and trace'.

reference architectural model for industrie 4.0 (RAMI 4.0)

a three-dimensional map showing how to approach Industry 4.0 in a structured manner, enabling stakeholders to understand each other

industry 4.0

a vision that evolved from an initiative to make the German manufacturing industry more competitive ('Industrie 4.0') to a globally adopted term.

vertical integration

all the systems in the traditional automation pyramid are affected: from field level and control level to production level, operations level and enterprise planning level.

decentralization

autonomous decisions; cyber-physical system as decision maker

isolated

companies are implementing Industry 4.0 but in rather ad hoc and _________ ways.

interoperability

connection of cyber-physical systems, people and manufacturing system; IT & OT convergence

data, information, knowledge, wisdom

dikw model

Real Time Capability

fast & real-time data; immediate collection and analysis

modularity

flexibility; dynamic environment; replacement or expansion of models

third industrial revolution

had everything to do with the rise of computers, computer networks (WAN, LAN, MAN,...), the rise of robotics in manufacturing, connectivity and obviously the birth of the Internet, that big game changer in the ways information is handled and shared, and the evolutions to e-anything versions of previously brick and mortar environments only, with far more automation.

development, production, logistiscs, distribution

horizontal integration workflow

Die Neue Hightech-Strategie Innovationen für Deutschland

in ________, the government explained how it aimed to drive innovation, which wasn't just a matter of technological innovation but also about 'social innovation' with society overall put at the center, a bit like Japan's Society 5.0.

horizontal integration

integration of IT systems for and across the various production and business planning processes

Second Industrial Revolution

is typically seen as the period where electricity and new manufacturing 'inventions' which it enabled, such as the assembly line, led to the area of mass production and to some extent to automation.

level 4 of the automation pyramid

industry 4.0

manufacturing technologies, including cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing and creating the smart factory".

life cycle and value stream

more data early on, more value later on

horizontal integration

not about the hierarchical view of several systems as in vertical integration but about the mentioned end-to-end value chain: from supplier and the processes, information flows and IT systems in the product development and production stage to logistics, distribution and ultimately the customer.

fourth industrial revolution

we move from 'just' the Internet and the client-server model to ubiquitous mobility, the bridging of digital and physical environments (in manufacturing referred to as Cyber Physical Systems), the convergence of IT and OT, and all the previously mentioned technologies (Internet of Things, Big Data, cloud, etc.) with additional accelerators such as advanced robotics and AI/cognitive which enable Industry 4.0 with automation and optimization in entirely new ways that lead to ample opportunities to innovate and truly fully automate and bring the industry to the next level.

First Industrial Revolution

which REALLY was a revolution, and, among others thanks to invention of steam machines, the usage of water and steam power and all sorts of other machines, would lead to the industrial transformation of society with trains, mechanization of manufacturing and loads of smog.
