The Transition 4.0 stems from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the process that will lead to fully automated and interconnected industrial production.
New digital technologies will have a profound impact across four key areas of development.
- use of data
- analytics
- human-machine interaction
- transition from digital to real
The first directive relates to the use of data, computing power and connectivity, and is expressed in big data, open data, Internet of Things, machine-to-machine and cloud computing for the centralization of information and its storage. The second is analytics: once data is collected, value must be derived from it. Today, only 1% of the data collected is used by companies, which could instead benefit from ‘machine learning’, i.e. machines that improve their performance by ‘learning’ from the data they collect and analyze. The third line of development is the interaction between man and machine, which involves the increasingly widespread ‘touch’ interfaces and augmented reality. Finally, there is the whole sector that deals with the transition from digital to ‘real’ and which includes additive manufacturing, 3D printing, robotics, communications, machine-to-machine interactions and new technologies for storing and utilizing energy in a targeted manner, rationalizing costs and optimizing performance. SPRING s.r.l. offers a wide range of Transition 4.0 compliant and certified on-board systems. The National Transition 4.0 Plan is an opportunity for all companies that want to seize the opportunities related to the fourth industrial revolution.
