Snack Episode 1 - Industry 4.0

Hello,  and welcome to the first Tech@Lunch Snack episode. The snack episodes are smaller episodes where we cover a singular topic in less than 15 minutes, so you the listener can listen to them when you are taking a break, getting coffee, or having a snack. Were as the full-length episodes are 30 minutes in length that span the duration of a lunch break.

The definition of Industry 4.0 in the grand scheme of things is “is the ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, using modern smart technology. Large-scale machine-to-machine communication (M2M) and the internet of things (IoT) are integrated for increased automation, improved communication and self-monitoring, and production of smart machines that can analyze and diagnose issues without the need for human intervention”
Industry 4.0 is a mixture of IT and machine which is derived from a high-tech strategy brought up by the German Government which promotes the computerization of manufacturing.  Industrie 4.0 - BMBF. There is a link in the show notes that contains the information provided by the German Government about the strategy. The link contents are in German just an FYI. This strategy has multiple focus areas which are Production, service, and work, IT-Systems, Electronic Systems,  Communication Systems, and IT-Security, International Partnerships, and Innovation and Industry 4.0 platform - the network for the digital industry change. https://www.bmbf.de/bmbf/de/forschung/digitale-wirtschaft-und-gesellschaft/industrie-4-0/industrie-4-0
