 About Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the way companies
manufacture, improve and distribute their products. Industry
4.0 combines traditional industrial production methods with
modern digital technology to more efficient, more flexible
production and management through modern technologies
including Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and
analytics, and AI and machine learning

Industry 4.0 also involves human-machine collaboration,

machine learning, and AI applications to improve the quality
and efficiency of work. It can have higher value when it
combines with operational data from supply chain to create
whole new level of visibility
 IR 4.0: Technologies disruption on operations and
supply chain management
IR 4.0 Overview Key principles
• IT 4.0 encompasses various technologies and innovative • IR 4.0 can be categorized in 3 paradigms: smart product, smart
processes which have the potential to transform operations and machine, augmented operator
supply chain management. • Researchers have identified 6 principles when implementing IR
