The fourth Industrial Revolution is now dawning, and like the previous Industrial Revolutions, Industry is going to have to adapt to the new technologies if it is to remain competitive and meet the expectations of its customers in terms of delivery and product quality. The fourth Industrial revolution has been enabled by the advancement of the Internet and the development of robust platforms that allow industrial applications to be “cloud” hosted as well as an increase in social activity using connected systems.
There are many terms used to describe these technologies including the Internet-of-things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and Cyber-Physical systems. This presentation looks at the architecture that enables these systems to be deployed, the applications that can be utilised in the powder and particle processing industries, and some real life examples of data-mining, remote monitoring and closed loop artificial intelligence control. Leading to the Understand, Monitor, Control strategy deployment.
