Tag Archives: Industry 4.0

For most of its history, human kind have lived in a market of one world. That is, most products (all in the very beginning of our history) were custom made. You wanted a pot? You build it yourself exactly the shape and size you needed/fancied (or were able to …). …

In the previous post on this series I considered a few technology areas that support the “operation” of Industry 5.0 (noting that these are already applied in Industry 4.0). Let’s now move on to take a look at technologies that are likely to “foster” the transition from Industry 4.0 to …

Technology is a tool, it has always been a tool. However, there have been some technologies that have shaped evolution and actually prompted evolution. The very first technologies (stone cutting -extracting and shaping-, bronze smelting, and iron/steel production) gave the name to entire epochs. More recently we have had use …

After publishing the first post on the transition from Industry 4.0 to 5.0 I received this interesting comment: There is a Sustainability reason behind the shift from industry 4.0 to industry 5.0. We need to put again humans at the center of the equation. Industry 4.0 is an intensification on …

Whilst Industry 4.0 is characterised (and fostered) by technology adoption (IoT, smart robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, connectivity 4G/5G, Digital Twins) the shift towards Industry 5.0 is having as “attractors” human centricity sustainability reliability These are not “technologies”, although there are a number of technologies supporting them (and investment in …

I am participating in the definition of the program for a Master on Innovation and Digital Transformation supported by Universalus and University of Cassino. One of the distinguishing point of this Master is its goal of supporting students in the implementation of the concepts they are learning. So it is …

Digital Twins role and use in Manufacturing is nothing new. Their application is growing steadily as the whole ecosystem expands: more supporting tools (platforms and specific applications), more data available (for modelling and shadowing) and more ways of leveraging on them (in the various product life cycle phases). Hence it …

The Digital Transformation in Industry has started in the last decade. The pandemic accelerated the transition in several sectors. For industry DX means lowering its cost, streamlining the value chain and an opportunity to flank its products by services, thus enabling advanced business models. The increased focus of Governments towards …

Design in the cyberspace is a reality since many years now. First it was the use of CAD to create a digital model, then tis digital model was shared with the supply chain to design components. Nowadays several platforms operating in the cloud allow co-design of a product by having …

I mentioned in the previous post in this series how the car will transform to become a pod that flows on a transportation infrastructure. Seen from the “outside” a car will become a data generator and in turns these data will feed a growing ecosystem that will contribute to change …
