The Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution is rated 3 out of 5 in the category information technology and services. Read and write reviews about The Industrial Revolution. Here we are…the fourth revolution is unfolding before our eyes. Its genesis is situated at the dawn of the third millennium with the emergence of the Internet. This is the first industrial revolution rooted in a new technological phenomenon—digitalization—rather than in the emergence of a new type of energy. This digitalization enables us to build a new virtual world from which we can steer the physical world. The industry of today and tomorrow aim to connect all production means to enable their interaction in real time. Factories 4 make communication among the different players and connected objects in a production line possible thanks to technology such as Cloud, Big Data Analytics and the Industrial Internet of Things. The applications for the industrial sector are already enormous: predictive maintenance, improved decision-making in real time, anticipating inventory based on production, improved coordination among jobs, etc. Day after day, all these improvements are gradually optimizing production tools and revealing endless possibilities for the future of industry 4, the crossroads for an interconnected global system. However, this fourth industrial revolution could be the first to deviate from the energy-greed trend—in terms of nonrenewable resources—because we have been integrating more and more possibilities to power our production processes with alternative resources. Tomorrow, factories 4 will be embedded in smart cities and powered by wind, sun and geothermal energy. Within this context of profound technological and societal changes—because the two always go hand in hand during industrial revolutions—which is taking us towards global digitalization, industrial cybersecurity will become a leading sector. Positioned at the heart of this sector, Sentryo is proud to be seen as pioneers.
