Industry 4.0 designates the fourth industrial revolution; it symbolises the integration of new technologies in industrial automation in order to improve working conditions and enhance the productivity and production quality of plants.
The fourth industrial revolution is not a technological object to be realised but a process that will lead to fully automated and interconnected industrial production.
The cornerstones around which digitisation revolves can be processed in four points:
1) the use of data to create value, computing power and connectivity. Terms such as big data, open data, IoT (Internet of Things), M2M (machine-to-machine) and cloud computing for centralising and storing data.
2) the process of analysing the collected data (Analytics) to derive information from it; the machine learning of machines that perfect their performance by acquiring the collected and analysed data.
3) human-machine interaction (MMI Man-Machine Interface and HMI Human-Machine Interface) involving RUGGtek touch screen terminals, application software, virtual reality and augmented reality.
4) the transition from the digital to the “real”, i.e. once the data has been collected, analysed, processed and made into a tool to instruct the machines, the last step is to find ways to produce the goods: 3D printing, robots, machine interaction, etc.
European Projects.
In Europe, a number of projects launched by governments to transfer the fourth industrial revolution to the business fabric with quite similar objectives have come into operation.
In 2016, in Italy, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Economic Development approved a dedicated plan with incentives for Industry 4.0; the plan is an opportunity for all companies that want to seize the opportunities related to the fourth industrial revolution.

Industry 4.0, called also “smart factory”, represents the integration of new technologies in industrial automation in order to improve working conditions and increase the productivity and production quality of plants.
The fourth industrial revolution is not a technological “object” to be realized but a process that will lead to completely automated and interlinked industrial production.
The hinges around which digitisation rotates can be summarised in four development guides:
1) the use of data to create value, computing power and connectivity. Terms such as big data, open data, IoT (Internet of Things), M2M (machine-to-machine) and cloud computing for centralising and storing data.
2) the process of analysing the gathered data (Analytics) to obtain the information; the automatic learning of the machines that perfect their performance through the acquisition of the gathered and analysed data.
3) the interaction between man and machine (MMI Man-Machine Interface and HMI Human-Machine Interface) that involves the Ruggtek tablet and handheld PCs, languages and application software.
4) the transition from digital to “real”, i.e. once the data has been gathered, analyzed, processed and made a tool to instruct the machines, the last step is to find ways to produce the goods: 3D printing, robots, machine interactions, etc.
European Projects.
In Europe, a series of projects have been launched by governments to transfer the fourth industrial revolution to the entrepreneurial fabric with fairly similar objectives.
In 2016, in Italy, the President of the Council of Ministers and the Minister of Economic Development approved a dedicated plan with incentives for Industry 4.0; the plan represents a chance for all companies that want to seize the opportunities linked to the fourth industrial revolution.
