Definition of Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was a period of major industrialization
and innovation during the late 1700s and early 1800s. The
Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain and quickly spread
throughout the world.
Evolution of Industrial Revolution
Industry 1.0 The late 18th century introduced
mechanical production facilities to the world. Water
and steam powered machines were developed to help
workers in the mass production of goods. ... Industry
1.0 can also be deemed as the beginning of the industry
culture which focused equally on quality, efficiency
and scale.
Edmund Cartwright

The first power loom was designed in 1786 by Edmund Cartwright and first built that same year. It
was refined over the next 47 years until a design by the Howard and Bullough company made the
operation completely automatic.
Industry 2.0 The beginning of 20th century marked the
start of the second industrial revolution – Industry 2.0.
The main contributor to this revolution was the
development of machines running on electrical
energy. Electrical energy was already being used as a
primary source of power.
In Industry 3.0, we automate processes using logic
processors and information technology. ... The
process is automated based on human input, not by
data. Under Industry 4.0, that same CNC machine
would not only be able to follow set programming
parameters, but also use data to streamline production
processes.
Industry 4.0 has been defined as “a name for the
current trend of automation and data exchange in
manufacturing technologies, including cyber-
physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud
computing and cognitive computing and creating the
smart factory”.
•1st industrial revolution – Steam and water power
are used to mechanize production
•2nd industrial revolution – Electricity allows for
mass production with assembly lines
•3rd industrial revolution – IT and computer
technology are used to automate processes
•4th industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) – Enhancing
automation and connectivity with CPS
