Changes in manufacturing are often so radical and have such far-reaching consequences that they\u2019re called revolutions. The three previous revolutions were mechanical<\/strong> in the late 1800s, electrical<\/strong> in the early 1900s, and computing<\/strong> in the 70s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This present stage is the digital revolution, which is also referred to as Industry 4.0.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Each stage of the industrial revolution is characterized by new technologies that improve efficiency and productivity to open the door for innovations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, what does Industry 4.0 mean for your manufacturing business? First, nearly all manufacturers have taken advantage of the advances of the last three revolutions. But since we’re now in the middle of the fourth, new technologies are emerging, and not everyone is keeping up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’re looking for an advantage over the competition and want to fully bring your business into the 21st century, read our breakdown of some essential new technologies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
