This document discusses Industry 4.0 and the trends driving it. Industry 4.0 aims to create an interconnected digital society through technologies like cyber-physical systems and embedded systems. It connects customer, product and factory data to enable mass customization, greater customer focus and manufacturing efficiencies. Cyber-physical systems bridge data and the physical world by using data analytics and simulation to inform business decisions. Embedded systems progressively network intelligent components. Industry 4.0's vision is integrated manufacturing where customer demands can be met through data-driven production.

low cost centres
High Value
Manufacturing focus
in Western Europe
ONS attributes the
sustained growth to:
Better quality, more
skilled workforce; a shift
in production from low to
high productivity goods;
improvements in
automation and ICT;

5. Industry 4.0
The 4th Industrial Revolution
“the increasing digital connectivity of customer, product,
process and factory through the use of emerging and
disruptive technologies”
It’s Opportunity, which can realise Value

12. Mass customisation
Vision
The ability to manufacture what the customer wants
directly, with no loss of productivity.
It combines the process benefits (low cost / unit) with the
flexibility of individual choice (value creation)
