Industry 4.0 is a high-tech strategic plan launched by the German government in April 2013. Its purpose is to enhance the competitiveness of German industry and take the lead in the new round of industrial revolution.

So why is it called Industry 4.0?

This has to be said from the historical process of industrialization in mankind. Initially, steam-driven mechanization started the Industrial 1.0 era. Next, the promotion of mass production by electric power started the Industrial 2.0 era. Subsequently, the automation of electronic information technology opened the industrial 3.0 era. The upcoming production of intelligent, will open the industrial 4.0 era.

China is currently in the middle and late stages of the Industrial 3.0 era. Production is fully automated and partially informatized. The forthcoming Industrial 4.0 era is a completely new world of fully automated and fully information-based production.

technical principles to achieve the Industrial 4.0

In the industrial 4.0 stage, all industrial enterprises will establish a unified IoT information system and connect all departments and sectors with this system. In the production process, the IoT information system will automatically collect the operation information of all departments and sectors , And then these information processing and processing by big data and artificial intelligence, generate various types of production orders, and communicated to various departments and links to coordinate the production and operation, and ultimately to achieve rapid, effective and personalized supply.

So, what is the Internet of things?

Internet of Things, the upcoming smart chip implantation in a variety of objects, through the implantation of smart chips to collect the state information of this object, and then chip and chip connected through the Internet in order to achieve the interconnection between objects and state information Pass each other.

IoT information transmission is inseparable from the communication network, which will be achieved in the near future through the 5G network. The future 5G network, will be able to provide ubiquitous, free, high-speed information transfer, which means that after the Internet no matter how to use no money, and will not be card.

IoT information transmission is inseparable from the communication protocol, the Internet of things on the transmission speed, accuracy and security requirements, are much higher than the Internet, which requires a new set of communication standards. Therefore, the future of Industry 4.0 competition, the core is what kind of communications standards competition.

Industry 4.0 has an impact on people's lives

In the early days of the industrial 4.0 era, production efficiency will greatly increase, overcapacity has become a norm. As the Internet of Things can accurately obtain all the needs of customers, so to meet the needs of customers as the core of customized production will gradually rise. In the customized manufacturing mode, raw materials purchased by the factory will be labeled with information in the future. For example, this is an X-type computer manufactured by a customer and used in the assembly of the whole machine. B customer Y model phone shell production, in the 3D printing process with the necessary raw materials.

In the coming era of Industry 4.0, the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing industries will also eliminate a large number of traditional jobs while creating a large number of new jobs, which will lead to massive structural unemployment. However, we do not have to worry too much about this because in the long process of urbanization, liberated agricultural laborers will migrate to industry; industrial workers freed during the future industrial revolution will migrate to service Industry; until the service sector erupted, the liberated service workers will migrate to the tertiary industry serving the tertiary industry - the digital industry; In short, in the face of the upcoming Industrial 4.0 era, as long as we continue Update knowledge, the courage to try new things, it will certainly become the beach-goers of this era.

We believe that this new industry 4.0 will certainly beat the old things, human beings will usher in a highly symmetrical information, full use of resources, great material rich pleasant spring !
