Read our latest article in Process Engineering where Jason Zyglis, VP sales, projects and service discusses how Industry 4.0 will impact production whilst affecting and enhancing control processes.
Industry 4.0 will impact production but how will it affect and enhance control processes especially? Experts share their crystal ball gazing.
“One of the most fascinating things about digital transformation is that it moves instantly – and slowly – all at the same time. The trends we see on the horizon for Industry 4.0 in 2020 are much the same as trends that we’ve seen growing over the last few years,” says Nigel Thomas, head of manufacturing, A&D, automotive and life sciences at Capgemini.
“The difference isn’t so much in the technology, it’s in the number of companies beginning to utilise it, and the reasons why.”
The big question for 2020, he advises, is which technologies will warrant the investments required and thereby accelerate the UK towards Industry 4.0. Excited as manufacturers are by new technology, their interest is, we know, linked intrinsically to the notion of scalability, efficiency and cost effectiveness. Only then can new products and ways of working really become embedded in the manufacturing system.
