 It is now an amalgamation and collaboration of
various disciplines
 An interdisciplinary approach should be adopted
drawing on the expertise of a team comprising
manufacturing engineers, IT experts, psychologists,
ergonomists, social and occupational scientists,
doctors and designers.

34. Industry 4.0 - basic tenets …
 Interoperability: the ability of cyber-physical systems (i.e. work piece
carriers, assembly stations and products), humans and Smart Factories to
connect and communicate with each other via the Internet of Things and
the Internet of Services
 Virtualization: a virtual copy of the Smart Factory which is created by linking
sensor data (from monitoring physical processes) with virtual plant models
and simulation models
 Decentralization: the ability of cyber-physical systems within Smart
Factories to make decisions on their own
 Real-Time Capability: the capability to collect and analyze data and provide
the insights immediately
 Service Orientation: offering of services (of cyber-physical systems,
humans and Smart Factories) via the Internet of Services
 Modularity: flexible adaptation of Smart Factories for changing
requirements of individual modules

35. Interdisciplinary research-
Connotations from literature ..
Interdisciplinary research involves variants of the following
“integration” (Wagner et al., 2011),
“convergence” (Fuller, 2011),
“synthesis” (Rafols and Meyer (2010),
 “fusion” (Krohn, 2010),
“amalgamation” (Bozeman and Boardman, 2014) ,or
“unification” (Dupré, 2006).
Common among these definitions is an emphasis on the
ability to move beyond single disciplines to address research
topics from new perspectives, theories, concepts and
methodologies that together form a body of knowledge
beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries.
35

36. Interdisciplinary research:
NSF perspective
 “Interdisciplinary research is a mode of research by teams
or individuals that integrates information, data, techniques,
tools, perspectives, concepts, and/or theories from two or
more disciplines or bodies of specialized knowledge to
advance fundamental understanding or to solve problems
whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline
or area of research practice.“*
*Committee on Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research, Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public
Policy (2004). Facilitating interdisciplinary research. National Academies. Washington: National
Academy Press, p. 2.

37. Interdisciplinary research:
European perspective
 Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever
with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) – in
addition to the private investment that this money will attract. It promises
more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from
the lab to the market
 European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation “Horizon
2020” presents an instructive example of the deliberations in major
interdisciplinary programmes.

38. Interdisciplinary research:
Experience sharing
 Doctoral work (Vedpal Arya ) on exploring
supply chain of medical devices /dental
implants

39. Manufacturing systems:
Opportunities
 Looks at both hard and soft aspects
 Looks at both cyber and physical worlds
 Looks at both knowledge creation &
knowledge use
 Looks at both man and machine aspects
 Looks at both data and knowledge/insights

41. Issues to ponder..
 Loss of job opportunities due to Industry 4.0?
 Skilling, de-skilling requirements ?
 Scope of automation in India?
 Investment in infrastructure ?
 Huge consumption vis-à-vis sustainability ?
41

42. Context
 Manufacturing systems create material wealth for humans
 They consume a great amount of resources while generating a
lot of waste.
 The waste generated during the manufacturing processes,
during the use of the products and after the end of the life of the
products is responsible for the degradation of the environment.
 To minimize the resource consumption and the environmental
impact of manufacturing systems has become increasingly
more important.
 Do consumption and Sustainability go counter
to each other? 42

43. Elephant & Six blind men

45. Industry 4.0.
 Industry 4.0 means different things to different
people – smart factory, pull based factory,
networked factory, cyber-physical integration etc.
 Industrie 4.0 goes by a variety of names:
‘Advanced Manufacturing’ in the USA/UK,
 ‘les usines du futur’ (The Factories of the Future) in
France,
 ‘Made Different – Factories of the Future’ in Belgium,
and
 “Smart Industries” in the Netherlands.

46. Closing remarks ..
 Industry 4.0 offers a useful platform for
manufacturing as an integrated system of cyber
and physical worlds !
 Creative role of human beings amidst big data!
 Systems perspective !!

47. Top 10 Skills to be relevant in
Industry 4.0

48. Implications
For educational institutes
 Institutes must develop strong linkages with industry to
understand and appreciate and gear themselves for meaningful
R&D in collaboration with industry
 The discipline boundaries such as electrical, mechanical etc must
vanish so as to appreciate and understand integrated solutions as
desired by the industry
 Digital manufacturing is going to revolutionize our view of
manufacturing and consequent need to develop trained
manpower for the same. This calls for strong curriculum review.
 Mechanisms to upgrade skills need to be established in
conjunction with industry. Online courses forums such as Mooc,
need to be aggressively utilized.
