Introduction to Industry 4.0

Where the phrase comes from: what counts as a revolution, the four industrial revolutions in order, and why Industry 4.0 is judged to be one.

The deck opens by separating a revolution — an instantaneous and complete shift — from ordinary change, then walks the four industrial revolutions in date order: mechanization, mass production, digitization/automation, and the convergence of digital, biological and physical innovation. It closes with the definition of the fourth industrial revolution, two Korean business examples of firms that missed the transition, the test for calling something a revolution, and the requirements Industry 4.0 places on a plant.

Nearly every date, actor and technology asked in an exam is on slides 4–7. Learn those four slides as a block.
