1. Mini Blog: Different Industrial Revolutions.
Right now, we are going through the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0. But, the era of
technology might not have the same shape and size as of today but for their time, indeed, it was
something for people to look at. Although the industrial revolution is considered a single ongoing event
that started in the late 18th century, it can be better understood as four industrial revolutions. Each
revolution was built upon the innovations of the prior revolution and led to more advanced forms of
manufacturing processes.
The first Industrial Revolution: The first industrial revolution started in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries when the biggest changes came in industries in the form of benefits of mechanization wherein
for the first time in history. Some animal or even human labor could be substituted by mechanical labor
due to mechanization. Agriculture started to be replaced by industry as the backbone of the societal
economy.
The second Industrial Revolution: Almost a century later the second industrial revolution started in
the late 19th and early 20th century which relied on the application of the principle of mass production
along assembly lines, which was able to scale up manufacturing output with higher coordination between
labor, tasks, processes, and machines. To this day, the Second Industrial Revolution is considered the
most important one as the inventions of the automobile and the aircraft began in the 20th century.
The third Industrial Revolution: The third Industrial Revolution began in the second half of the 20th
century, wherein we see the emergence of yet another source of untapped source of energy which is the
Nuclear energy! Also third industrial revolution brought forth the rise of electronics, telecommunications
and, the computers. It opened the doors to research, space expeditions, and biotechnology through the
new technologies using machines that are able to repeat a series of tasks under a relatively well-defined
parameter and require minimal supervision. It also relied on the development of information
technologies, initially with the digital computer, and then with information technologies by the end of the
20th century. This led to the formation of the internet.
The fourth Industrial Revolution: The 4 Industrial Revolution is taking shape the worldwide
economies are based on them. The manufacturing processes, the scale and scope of the output, and the
customization of the products. Machines are therefore getting similar to the flexibility of human labor.
They involve more than simple and repetitive tasks. Therefore the prime focus shifts to global value
chains, which are a circular process of gathering resources and transforming them into parts, and
products and distributing the finished goods to the markets, and finally again making these resources
available through various recycling and reuse strategies.
Solulever, a Dutch Technology Startup, is based on the principles of Industry 4.0 and delivers top
industrial connectivity platforms to help manufacturers take up the digital transformation of their
plant. Brabo Edge Platform is a platform that allows seamless connectivity to different tools and
equipment on the shop floor. It performs data mashups that are therefore available to the development
teams on a real-time basis.
