“Industry 4.0 is the culmination of several technological innovations all coming to the forefront; sophisticated sensors, cloud computing, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and advanced robotics. These connected devices utilize RFID, Wi-Fi, cellular networks and other technologies to communicate with each other and the cloud to become the Internet of Things… In terms of industry, this revolution entails the utilization of cyber-connected systems which monitor factory processes to maximize efficiency and reduce downtime.”

“Managers at all levels consistently underestimate the effort it takes to implement both new processes and new technology. They underestimate the change management necessary to get people to use or follow it and to become more productive. You have to be conservative around how long it’s going to take for new technology to work and be adopted.”
– Bill Remy, Chairman & CEO, TBM Consulting
