LITERATURE REVIEW 2Literature Review The three industrial revolutions in the past were triggered by technological innovations in which the initial industrial revolution was characterized by the introduction of automated production amenities in the 18th century. Then came the second revolution with the division of labor and electrification. The third generation was characterized by information technology and more electronics to improve the automation of the production process, for example, the introduction of PLCs. Industry 4.0 is the convergence of industrial production, information and communication technologies to fasten production (Rüßmann et al, 2015). This idea strengthens the competitiveness of the German industry. I think the industry 4.0 helps in improving the industrial process involved in manufacturing, engineering, material usage and other supply chain managements (Gentner, 2016). I think there will be a pattern shift from a centralized to a decentralized production process because of continuous communication between people, machines and the resources. There are smart products that often know their production history the current and the endstate so they can perform their production processes on their own by instructing different machines to perform a stated manufacturing process and after that order, the conveyor belts to conduct transportation to a certain destination or next production stage (Wang et al., 2016). This communication between different machines and devices is a technique to be added in the industry 4.0. This can be done by writing a program to a machine on what task to perform and how they should perform it. I think robots and sensors can be incorporated in this as they play an important role. Industry 4.0 is termed as an integral part of the High-Tech strategy for Germany in 2020.
LITERATURE REVIEW 3 Industry 4.0 has three important components namely IoT, Cyber-Physical systems and the smart factories (Wan, 2016). Internet of Things is gaining ground in the modern wireless telecommunications. Things are the active participants in business that interact and communicatetogether to exchange data and information sensed from the environment. Smart factory is a solution for manufacturing which provide flexible production process that solves problems arising from a production facility. That solution could be related to automation involving either the software or hardware. Smart machines will shape jobs, manufacturing processes and the production systems. It was argued that the reason behind the introduction of an Internet of Things into the fourth revolution was to allow various things and objects, for example, the sensors and actuators to communicate with each other and hence cooperate with other smart components to reach a common goal so they ca self-control their tasks (Wang et al, 2016). This leads to the extreme amount of data which can be extracted, visualized and used for end to end engineering (Almada-Lobo, 2016).They will be producing high tech products. There will be mass commercialization which aims at producing personalized mass products through flexible processes (Liao, 2017). Within a smart factory, products can converse with their surroundings and influence Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (Hozdić, 2015). Configuration rules then replace the concrete structures and the specifications of the production processes. RMS hence enables the manufacturing companies to familiarize varying production necessities in a cost-efficient way (Almada-Lobo, 2016). Mechanical components can be rearranged according to the mechanical interface. The difficulty of coordination can be condensed while increasing the elasticity by breaking down the production processes into small divisions which share data according to the step process. This makes the employees lose sight of the exact picture and to avoid this overarching modeling of
