Time after time in our societies, we have experienced revolutions in the way we work, which affects Industry. The first of these, the Industrial Revolution, began in Great Britain at the end of the 18thCentury and was led by replacing hand tools with machine tools, technological advances in water and steam power, and advancements in iron manufacturing. This industrial revolution, though, wasn’t the only one: following that, other revolutions occurred when mass production met electrical energy, and another when IT provided automation to production in factories.
That means we have been through several Industrial Revolutions and now it seems to be the time for another. This new step will be supported by new trends such as Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Fabrics and the so-called Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). Basically, this revolution will allow the production of more connected and intelligent objects through more autonomous systems.
