The relationship between industrial big data and industry 4.0

Introduction: After the concept of Industry 4.0 was proposed, countries have followed up. The United States proposed the Industrial Internet of Things, and China proposed Industry 2025. In fact, they all want to maintain or further occupy the international market and gain a competitive advantage in this industrial revolution.

The world today has entered an era where concepts are flying in the sky. There are many concepts related to industrial big data, including Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, etc. Next, I will trace the roots and clarify these concepts so that we can better Understand industrial big data. Let’s talk about what Industry 4.0 is all about today.

The source of the concept of Industry 4.0 is relatively clear, unlike the source of the concept of big data, it is unclear and unclear. Industry 4.0 is a concept proposed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology at the 2013 Hannover Messe. It is actually a marketing concept proposed by the Germans in order to promote their industrial technology. This concept should be said to be very successful, as if overnight, the whole world is saying that its products conform to the concept of Industry 4.0.

At that time, the concept of Industry 4.0 proposed by the Germans mainly described the future vision of the manufacturing industry (note that it is manufacturing, not industry. The Germans actually changed the concept here, and the scope of industry is much larger than that of manufacturing. ), after the three industrial revolutions of steam engine, large-scale production, and electronic information technology, mankind is about to usher in the fourth industrial revolution marked by highly digitalized production, networked, and self-organized machines.
