There are new technologies that are coming upfront and going to the age of Industry 4.0. You must have noticed that cloud usage was not that common in the past as it was today. With the help of this cloud storage now the mass production-related data is shared across multiple plants. This helps to reduce the processing time to send as well as receive data. Moreover, it also helps cloud applications to work much better and diversely. Thus, it can be said that industry 4.0 helps to gather real-time information, which in turn helps to improve automation along with artificial intelligence. It can also be said that the network is one of the most fundamental factors for industry 4.0 as it needs devices to be interconnected to each other to gather data from it.
The main component of industry 4.0 is the cyber-physical system, industrial IOT, cloud computing, cognitive computing. Let us know in detail about each of them.
- Cyber-Physical System: These are the devices that work with the help of the algorithm of the computer as a basis.
- Industrial IoT: It is nothing but a connection of devices such as the machines or sensors on the network. They are helpful in Scan, detection, and also for monitoring of the capabilities on the device.
- Cloud Computing: This is the processing of the data storage and also other use of services that are available on the internet.
- Cognitive Computing: It can be said that it is a technology platform that is completely based on artificial intelligence.
Thus, the combination of all the above-mentioned technologies and application makes up the concept of the smart factory. Now you might be wondering what is referred to here as a smart industry. So, in reality, the machines which are used for industry 4.0 are smarter as they access information which in turn helps to make machine work more efficiently. Smart technology is used in many forms such as connecting all the machines and they also exchange information in real-time just by using the industrial internet of things. Apart from all this, you will be amazed to know that the machines can learn to work on their mistake and this is possible only with the help of the data that is collected.
