From the first handmade stone tools to production of millions of nanochips per day, mankind has constantly strived to improve manufacturing processes.
Steam power, electricity, computers, and internet distribution, along with major developments in machinery and production lines, have brought us the 1st, 2nd and 3rd industrial revolutions.
Production capacity has grown rapidly and factories have stepped forward to the forefront of technology, but with great new industrial power come great new challenges.
Now, advanced microsensors, ultra-fast wireless connectivity, cloud computing, and advanced AI and ML tools allow us to face these challenges by gathering and refining manufacturing data into invaluable insights, announcing the world its next industrial revolution - the information revolution.
In her talk, Sarit will present her unique point of view as a manufacturing engineer, on how the Industry 4.0 revolution combines machines, data, and humans into one holistic production unit.
