context_page_description: The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, using modern smart technology. Large-scale machine-to-machine communication and the internet of things 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.
context_section_description: The Fourth Industrial Revolution consists of many components when looking closely into our society and current digital trends. To understand how extensive these components are, here are some contributing digital technologies as examples:
  Mobile devices
  Internet of things (IoT) platforms
  Location detection technologies
  Advanced human-machine interfaces
  Authentication and fraud detection
  3D printing
  Smart sensors
  Big analytics and advanced processes
  Multilevel customer interaction and customer profiling
  Augmented reality/ wearables
  On-demand availability of computer system resources
  Data visualization and triggered "live" training
  Mainly these technologies can be summarized into four major components, defining the term “Industry 4.0” or “smart factory”:
  Cyber-physical systems
  IoT
  On-demand availability of computer system resources
  Cognitive computing
  Industry 4.0 networks a wide range of new technologies to create value. Using cyber-physical systems that monitor physical processes, a virtual copy of the physical world can be designed. Characteristics of cyber-physical systems include the ability to make decentralized decisions independently, reaching a high degree of autonomy.
