Industry 4.O refers to the\ndevelopment and the management of the all our physical technology through the\nvirtually developed systems. The most common term used about this is the\nInternet of things (IoT). It helps in the optimization of the 3rd<\/sup>\nindustrial revolution and creates the ease of management for the industries and\nbusinesses alike to manage and control their assets and their data without the\nneed for any dedicated and expensive solutions. Industry 4.O has given us\ncountless methods of doing just that most popular of which is the cloud\ncomputing and cloud storage. It is perhaps the most prominent element of the 4th<\/sup>\nindustrial revolution that is happening right now. The innovation of the cloud\nhas solved the long distance management problems that were extremely\ncomplicated to address in the 3rd<\/sup> industrial revolution. Now thanks\nto the industry 4.O, one can manage their assets and their entire industries\nfrom the other side of the world, controlling the machines and their entire\nprocesses in one continent from as far as another continent. Technological\nfeats like machine learning, machine to machine communications (M2M) and big\ndata have been made possible with the advent of Industry 4.O. Block-chain\ntechnology, cyber-physical systems, cognitive computing and creation of smart\nfactories are all a part of this fourth industrial revolution. All of the most\ncommonly tools used in the optimization of our current systems are the Industry\n4.O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Industry 4.O refers to the fourth\nindustrial revolution that has happened in the world. There are some who would\ndisagree with this terminology but it is generally accepted as that. It is the\nresult of efforts and progress of mankind dating from the 1st<\/sup> proto-industrialization\nperiod of mechanization, the most noteworthy of which was the steam engine. The\n2nd<\/sup> industrial revolution started in the 19th<\/sup> century\nwhen the explosion in the technical advancements led to discovery of the new\nenergy sources, namely electricity, oil and gas. The 3rd<\/sup> industrial\nrevolution happened in the mid of the 20th<\/sup> century with the\nemergence of Nuclear power, telecommunication, electronics and computers which\nare still being used in the whole world and are deeply integrated into every\npart of our industry. The fourth industrial revolution, the Industry 4.O\nstarted with the public and easy access of internet. It opened limitless and\ninfinite opportunities for the businesses in every sector of industries,\ncommerce and every other field there is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Industry 4.O has limitless scope in all sectors of our\nsociety, be it industrial sector or the education sector. The current\ntechnological advancements have already made the smart management of the\nindustrial assets possible through the Industrial Internet of things (IIoT),\ncloud computing, big data and cyber-physical systems and the their future holds\nlimitless possibilities. Human interjection in the management of the most of\nthe industrial sector has already been reduced thanks to the smart management\nmade possible through the 4.O industry and the future may bring us a society\ncompletely managed by the AIs. It may not be limited to industrial or\ncommercial sectors, but may spread to all aspects of the modern society. Machine\nlearning is becoming more and more efficient with every passing day and we may\nvery well be operating our industries with completely autonomous AI systems in\nthe near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The current progress of the industry 4.O in rest of the\nworld is far ahead of Pakistan. There are humongous projects being funded, not\nonly by individual companies but also by the nations themselves. One of the\nprime examples of one of such projects is the RESTART project which is the\nbeing funded by the European Commission to meet their ever rising need of the\ndigital skills and to stay up to date with the consistent technological\ndevelopments in the industry. The project was initiated with the goal of\ninvolving the industrial sector in the transformation of the Vocational\nEducational and Training (VET) systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Restart is just a small part of the amazing advancements in\nthe Industry 4.O. There is the Logistics 4.O or the smart supply chain\nmanagement. There are seaports which are completely autonomous with their cargo\nloading systems without any involvement of the dock workers. The Construction\n4.O where the whole houses are being built from as little as 24 hours to 10\ndays with smart construction technology and 3D printing tools. There are smart\npublic transportation systems like the smart trains at the Docklands Light\nRailways in the East London which move without any drivers, completely\nautonomously. There are cars and trucks with autopilot features a prime example\nof that is the Tesla Model S. Manufacturing 4.O is another prime example of the\ncurrent technological advancement and the Audi\u2019s Smart factory is just the tip\nof the iceberg in that matter where robots are managing the entire production\nline of the cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several other huge projects and technological\ndevelopment going in the Industry 4.O all over the world and the ones mentioned\nhere don\u2019t even scratch the surface of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pakistan is far behind the rest of the world in terms of any\nimplementations or achievement of the Industry 4.O in its industrial sector.\nMost of our industries are still using the outdated production line and\nproduction systems and do not have the awareness of the advantages that the\nautomation and smart management would bring them. There are only a few\ncorporations currently working on this aspect in Pakistan. The production and service\nsectors are sorely lacking in the efficiency of their management and their\nprocesses and the Industry 4.0 can have a lot of impact to change that fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nHistory<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
