What’s Industry 4.0? Also what’s 1, 2 and 3.0, actually…
2.0: Since 1870s and on, cheap steel via Bessemer process, electricity, large-scale chemical synthesis; unified parts, mass production.
3.0: Since, say, 1940-50s, advanced control systems, electronics, early computers, pervasive plastics, power semiconductors, advanced alloys and advanced welding, simple CNCs.
4.0: Since, say, 2000s, highly integrated electronics, pervasive computers / MCUs, highly programmable and precise CNC machines, everything through CAD software; carbon fiber, advanced glues, 3D printing.
