Hi Folks,

I think we'll also see augmented reality and virtual reality in a variety of fashions. After they've been embedded and integrated into society to some extent, their use should be much more noticeable. In the future, I expect both to be used for a variety of purposes, ranging from entertainment and education to the marketing of goods and services.

Have a great day!

Dear @Ashok,

I am attending Festo Conference 4.0. on Wednesday. Here are some issues.

"Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) impresses original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and end users alike. Production and the digital world are coming together, making factory automation more flexible, increasing energy efficiency, linking logistics processes more closely, optimising the value chain – and all this is happening in process automation too.

The Internet of Things (IoT), smart factories, cyber-physical systems and big data are driving the project of the future - solutions must be ever faster, more diverse, more flexible and more intelligent. Calls for greater availability, energy efficiency and just-in-time production are on the increase....

Festo offers complete electric and pneumatic automation solutions, from the cloud through control technology, IoT gateways, sensors and actuator technology..."

There is a lot of gain by implementing industry 4.0 and IoT, especally in manufacturing settings and service industries. In manufacturing settings, obtaining and maintaining customer satisfaction is an area of constantly increasing competition. Manufacturers are required to comply with constantly rising quality and customer service standards, with clients expecting transparency, quality and visibility into the manufacturing process, as well as production flexibility, prompt delivery and innovation. Delivering on these components can often make the difference between manufacturers winning business or losing it to their competitors.

There is also great opprotunity in using 3D printing - in both rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing (AM), as @ Md Mehedi Hassan Onik indicates. Objects printed in 3D can be of almost any shape or geometry and typically are produced using digital model data from a 3D model or another electronic data source such as an Additive Manufacturing File (AMF) file (usually in sequential layers).

There are many different technologies, like stereolithography (STL) or fused deposit modeling (FDM). Thus, unlike material removed from a stock in the conventional machining process, 3D printing or AM builds a three-dimensional object from computer-aided design (CAD) model or AMF file, usually by successively adding material layer by layer. This may be of great importance in the near future.

The success of Industry 4.0 depends entirely on the development and technological innovation that can be applied to automate all processes in a company or industry, both in the automation of their information systems and total management, as in the operation, especially in manufacturing and final finishing of the products to be marketed. Leaving even the shares of the company at the time of conducting market research and distribution of their products.

Computer , so the device that has become indispensable, such as perhaps impossible, especially as we live in today's era of information revolution, no one can guess its borders. The computer did not leave any area of life except the income, so it became necessary for every learner to know this science to walk in the lap of civilization and not even isolate itself from the reality of life.

Nowdays internet connectivity and digitalization of information is a trending topic. In future every information related to product and business will be digitalized. That will give a common platform of sahring information. Manufacturing and supply chain industries are getting ready for the application of IoT, macine learning, artificial intelligence, blockchain etc. These all technologies increases efficiency and reduce process time therefore reduce cost and increase profit.

IoT: It is about digital data sharing and social media. IoT affects brand reputation, consumer awareness and preferences, sales and production, quality of product. for food manufacturing industry it provides better transparency and security, maintenance of complex operations, food safety and overall responsiveness. It can help in adjusting product offerings to reduce waste and improve profitability. It can solve regulatory challenges, optimize quality and improve production efficiencies, reduce operating cost and yield. It can can optimize production by real time data of product quality parameters e.g. colour, nutritional change etc. in food industries.

AI: Applications of artificial intelligence in small and medium scale industries depends on the successful AI implementation of the industry giants.

Marketing and production: With increasing competition in market there is a need to improve marketing strategies by knowing consumer preferences and behaviour, adjusting demand and production based on data using recurrent networks, more data means more accuracy in results, improve customer experience, more easily solve problems and discover more relevant offers.

Retail: personalised reccommendations can be fulfilled on time, better stock management and site layout technologies will also be improved.

Machine learning: machine learning enables computers to act and make data driven decisions. with the help of machine learning technology consumer preferences can be personalized, easier and reliable payment processing, in depth analysis of customer reviews to improve ranking, customer experience, boosting margins and saving valuable resources.

Blockchain: Blockchain is a reliable technology having great potential for healthcare, banking, IT and manufacturing industries. It provides peer to peer network for exchanging and storing information. It gives transparency in sharing traceability information and authenticity of product. it helps in optimizing the supply chain that results in cost savings and increased efficiencies.It improves brand reputation and visibility of data, increases the accuracy of records by reducing paperwork, better inventory management because of increased and trusted visibility of order status, cutting number of invoice disputes and lowers the cost of procurement. In food industry also it has a potential to improve traceability in food supply chain, increasing authenticity of food product and reducing waste by instant identification of cause and source of contamination and thus reduce cost by immediate and accurate removal of specific contaminated product.Blockchain is still in its infancy stage. there is lot to do and explore in application of blockchain.

Dear Kirti,

Thank you very much for your excellent response emphasising role of digitisation of information and internet connectivity.

Hello,

today that disruptive technologies drastically change industry, organization communication, business processes, communication with end-users, entertainment, education... actually, all aspects of life. However, I am not very sure how much this influences the social interrelations, personal development (especially in children's and adolescent's development), empathy and emotional level. Probably, the answer would go in the direction of "golden middle" and humanistic approach.

Thank you very much for Prof. Ljubomir Jacić.

Have not advanced technologies already created Industry 4.0?

Industry 4.0:

Human power has begun to lose importance.

Cyberspace and physical systems came into play.

The concept of Internet of Things began to be used in factories.

Mobilization has gained great importance thanks to the internet of objects.

Smart rings, smart watches, smart wristbands are beginning to be produced.

Intelligent objects emerged by providing internet access to any object.

Thanks to these physical systems, the management of factories has become much easier.

Energy consumption has decreased, productivity has increased.

and now the industry 5 is in agenda

Industry 5.0:

Society-centered, unmanned technologies.

Robots can do almost any move the human arm can make in the factory.

They can communicate with each other, record the data they have gained instantaneously into the cloud system, so that the data can be analyzed instantaneously by the administrators.

The factory is run by a small group of people.

At this point, the question of "employment" comes to mind.

Dear Dr Seyda,

Thank you very much for highlighting about Industry 4.0 and also about Industry 5.0.

Welcome to Industry 5.0

"Although Industry 4.0 still has not scaled up to cover a significant percentage of manufacturing setups, its vision of near-total automation-and the resulting cost savings-has clearly captured the industry's imagination.

More importantly, even though the "lights-out" factory is still a rare phenomenon, the connected automation technologies that form the backbone of Industry 4.0 are being widely and increasingly deployed. They are making important differences in the manufacture of many types of products and, in industries like healthcare, even the provision of services...

Industry 5.0 is in fact not an incremental development from Industry 4.0. It is not just more ramped up automation. It is, in an important sense, the end of automation-but an "end" that is enabled at least in part by robotic automation. That is the great irony in the latest leap forward in automation-whether or not you call it Industry 5.0. It is a return to what in many respects resembles a preindustrial form of goods production, but one that is enabled by the most advanced industrial automation technologies, starting with collaborative robots..."

«Industrial Revolution IV» Industrie 4.0. An expression that has been in the West not long ago and has gained special momentum since last year. In Germany and other advanced industrial countries, the "revolution" took its form and theoretical and practical definition step by step. The most important features of this new industrial revolution, which were re-illustrated at the Hanover-2015 International Fair, are under the terms of "Integrated Smart Digital Industries", "Digital Components of Materials and Raw Materials Used in Industry", "Smart Digital Factory" , "Digital self-management" and others. These labels describe an evolving industry, in which the human element intervenes only slightly, in the sense that man is a simulator of the machine, an observer and an auditor of the manufacture of goods, and not a producer.

Dear Dr Djaafar,

Thank you very much for highlighting about Integrated Smart Digital Industries.

"Since the advent of Industry 4.0, a number of challenges have been stacking up at production lines. These challenges include high- or low-quantity production, an increased demand for customized products, zero-error production, and mixed-model production lines. Consequently, these challenges have set in motion a number of changes in factories, culminating with the introduction of new technologies and concepts.

As optimal production is pivotal in the age of Industry 4.0, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has emerged as the key performance index (KPI) in the manufacturing industry. OEE benchmarks the percentage of manufacturing time that is truly productive. An OEE score of 100% shows that you are manufacturing only good parts, as fast as possible, with no downtime. OEE’s KPI formula incorporates three elements: availability (no downtime), performance (the speed of production), and quality (percentage of products up to standard)..."
