Industrial Computers and the Industrial Internet of Things

Major advances in manufacturing are getting faster: If the first industrial revolution happened around 1760 with the advent of steam and hydropower, the second took more than 100 years to emerge with the development of mass production beginning around 1870. That lasted another 100 years until the third industrial revolution in 1970 as computers began to replace mechanical systems. Now, the fourth revolution is already here, and it’s been less than 50 years. We’re talking about Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Their effects will be bigger than the first coming of the computer to the shop floor and it will happen much faster.
