Factory Automation and Industry 4.0

Factory automation is the implementation of technology and systems to automate a manufacturing process with the ultimate goal of Improved Quality, Improved Consistency, Reduced Waste, Safer Working, Conditions Increasing Productivity and Reducing Costs.

Industry 4.0, is an industrial change is the joining of technologies like artificial intelligence, gene editing, to advanced robotics that blur the lines between the physical, digital, and biological worlds.

Throughout this, fundamental shifts are taking place in how the global production and supply network operates through ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, using modern smart technology, large-scale machine-to-machine communication (M2M), and the Internet of things (IoT). This integration results in increasing automation, improving communication and self-monitoring, and the use of smart machines that can analyze and diagnose issues without the need for human intervention.
