Nokia APJ Innovations Driving Industry 4.0 White Paper
The First Industrial Revolution used steam power and iron-making to mechanize production. The Second saw mass production that was powered by combustion engines, electricity, assembly lines, and telecommunications. The Third Industrial Revolution had microprocessors, software, mobile devices, and the Internet bringing about the Information Economy. Now a Fourth Industrial Revolution – or ‘Industry 4.0’ – is transforming factory operations and blurring the lines in physical, digital, and human interaction.
