Fourth industrial revolution is taken up by German Industrial Engineers and endorsed by The chancellor Angela Merkel
Fourth industrial revolution (4.0) focuses on cyber-physical systems.
 
The concept of Industry 4.0 was first used in Hanover meeting in 2011, by a group of people from different fields to enhance German competitiveness in manufacturing industry.
 
we know that humans are prone to committing errors and performing repetitive work again and again brings errors frequently due to fatigue and monotoncity. 
 
Cyber-physical systems means physical systems will be connected and communicate with each other through cyber space, every system/machine will have its unique identity over the cyber space through which it will communicate with other systems. each system will be using network relay systems like wireless network card or RFID tags, bluetooth, WI-FI, etc. each system will perform self diagnostics to generate its state, collect and analyse data which was earlier cumbersome to manage because some data are not structured and make intelligent decisions.
 
Industry 4.0 will utilize----
1. Cloud technology-- intent is sharing of resources
2. 5G technology-- network technology used for communication i.e. voice and data transfer at a very high speed.
3. Block-chain technology- used in maintaining transactions across.
4. Artificial Intelligence & Machine learning- human intelligence mimicking
5. IoT devices technology- mobile & other devices connected through internet
6. Cognitive technology- making human like decisions in complex situations
7. Robotic Process Automation (RPA)- human actions mimicking.
 
at present these technologies are moving fast by automating the processes and systems including machines.systems.
 
machines/ devices/processes will interact with each other using 5G technology, sharing data and knowledge using cloud technology, analyzing and making decisions using machine intelligence, performing self diagnostics and mimicking human actions just as humans do and creating a green & cleaner environment.
 
every technology has its pros. & cons. every industry is gearing with these technologies like we have smart Mobiles, smart consumer electronics ( Smart Tv's, Alexa device- listening and performing actions instructed to it, smart lighting, etc), smart factories, smart stores like Amazon stores- you need not to stand in queues just pick items of your choice and move out of the store rest will be done automatically through AMAZON app using Block-chain technology, smart hospitals where robots will perform surgeries, automotive industry-driver less car.
 
As technology is advancing its vulnerabilities are also coming up like driver less car has met to an accident also it will be accident prone if used on routes where humans commute, Alexa device listens to all your conversations, smart TV if left powered someone might hack your devices and create trouble for you.
 
we need to be careful while using these devices and strictly follow the intended functions and instructions until vulnerabilities are plugged in.
