Industry 4.0 refers to the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It involves cyber-physical systems where physical objects are integrated with sensors and software to be monitored and controlled remotely. This allows for greater automation and customization in manufacturing. Some challenges for Indian companies adopting Industry 4.0 include the need for changes in management mindset, skills shortages, data management capabilities, and ensuring data security and standardization when implementing new technologies. Segments that could benefit most include production monitoring, supply chain management, part traceability, scheduling, and maintenance.

2. Industry 4.0
Introduction
Industry 4.0 is the very popular topic today because of its big influence on
manufacturing.
Industry 4.0 is focused on creating smart environment in the manufacturing
process.
Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 is focused on creating intelligent products, processes and
procedures. The essence of the industry vision 4.0 is in the Internet Of Things
and Internet of Services.
Computers and automation will come together, in particular based on cyber
physical production systems that integrate communications, IT, data and
physical elements and wherein these system transform the traditional plants
into smart factories.
1st Industrial revolution – Machines & Utilization
2nd Industrial revolution – Mass production (vol.)
3rd Industrial revolution – Employing Automation
4th Industrial revolution – Cyber physical system (Machine talking to Machine)

3. Industry 4.0
In India Today
Industry 4.0 needs to be differentiated from prevailing concepts such as;
• IOT (Internet Of Things)
• Big Data
• 3D Printing
• Automation (Siloes)
It will be the combination of Intelligent machines, Informed manufacturing
and processes.
• Create new routes towards lighter capital intensity and increased value.
• Reduce capital employed utilization and increase profit.
India has a long way to travel to become world’s preferred manufacturing
destination. Majority of the problem lies in Infrastructure issues,
Bureaucracy and availability of energy sources.

4. Industry 4.0
Indian Manufacturing Companies heading towards
Industry 4.0
The new industry revolution will require an enhanced approach to protect the future of
our competitiveness.
Industry 4.0 emphasizes the idea of consistent digitization and change the economic
rules of the industry.
Smart manufacturing marries information, technology and human to bring rapid
revolution in the development of manufacturing industries.
• The changes are focused on the life cycle
of a product, instead of focusing on the
production process.
• On the foundations of lean production, a
company can build smart production.
• In a smart production leader will make
decisions according to the information,
not just according to the experience.

6. Industry 4.0
Key Challenges for the Indian manufacturing
industries
• The ownership of adopting new technologies and change Management will have to
be driven by the C- suite team (at present it is short term mindset).
• Top Management needs to give way for next generation.
• Accelerate and Embrace beyond Digitization.
• The current state is still at Industry 2.0
• Shortage of skill sets
• Increase in Data volume, therefore adequate IT system to analyze the data
• Needs long term commitment
• Is a major upheaval and not a smooth change
• Is not a single industry solution but has widespread impact
• Needs interdisciplinary collaboration
• Is closely linked to Cloud and Big Data

7. Industry 4.0
Key Risks in Implementing Industry 4.0
Technology is more or less present today, but;
1. Data security
2. Lack of Standardization
3. Social Impact
4. Growth of IOT market are considered to be the
key risks.

8. Industry 4.0
Manufacturing Industry
1. Resources and processes
2. The use of property
3. Operation
4. Inventories
5. Quality
6. Supply and Demand
7. Time to market
8. Service and maintenance

9. Industry 4.0
How do we address this ?
• There has to be 2 fold strategy for automation;
• One on Technology and other on choosing the right partner.
• Link all the existing automation to a single source
• For knowledge / Skill Management;
• Bring new skilled resources
• Retain and Train resources where skill enhancement is
possible
• Continuous awareness and reinforcement on usage of latest
technologies

10. Industry 4.0
Segments that the Manufacturing companies see
as offering the greatest potential for benefitting
from Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 and Production +
productivity monitoring Industry
4.0 and Supply chain Industry 4.0
and Part traceability Industry 4.0
and Scheduling Industry 4.0 and
Maintenance Industry 4.0 and
Inspection

11. Industry 4.0
Fundamentally this is about developing product and service
solutions to customers. Companies can evolve their market
offerings across moving from a traditional physical core
product to a comprehensive digital ecosystem.
