Is it possible to have a fashion house without a mannequin or a factory without employees?
It is difficult to imagine a factory producing yarn without a blow room or a spinning machine, a factory producing clothing without workers, and a fashion house without dummies. Imagine that there is no dummy in a fashion house, no labor in a plant that makes clothing, and no inspector checking inventories. Even so, is this possible? Yes, that is becoming attainable by humans; one individual or a small number of computers could manage an entire textile factory.
By doing all those things, Industry 4.0 promises to usher in a new age. Additionally, Industry 4.0 promises to introduce some new, more intelligent technologies that will alter how a workplace is perceived. Here are a few of them:
Cyber Physical System (CPS)
A mechanism is managed by computer-based algorithms in a cyber-physical system (CPS), which is a computer-based system. Cyber-physical systems use feedback loops to monitor and control the physical world by combining sensors, networks, and static computing. It enables this outside stimulus to independently initiate communication, computation, or control. Three components make up the infrastructure of the entire system: the decision layer, the information layer, and the feeling layer. In cyber-physical systems, interaction between humans and machines is a critical component of output. Machines interact with one another and create a network among themselves in cyber-physical systems. They can also provide information on their condition and potential issues like upkeep needs, flaws, etc.
In this situation, the factory can change its layout to accommodate the customer's output order. By offering pertinent production key factors, smart personal devices can be used to increase production transparency.
Internet of things (IoT)
Any physical item, such as a sensor, piece of software, or other technology that connects to and exchanges data with other hardware over the Internet is referred to as a "thing" in the internet of things. Sensors or other gadgets first gather information about their surroundings. The info is then uploaded to the cloud. A number of connections can be made between the sensors and devices and the cloud, including ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN), satellite, and WiFi. Once the info is in the cloud, software processes it in some way. The information is then processed in some manner before being given to the user. This may be done by sending the individual a warning. (email, text, notification, etc).
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the use of computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as making choices using their senses of sight, sound, touch, or guess, among others. Industry 4.0 is fully integrated with artificial intelligence, which is not just used on the factory floor. One illustration of this is the application of AI algorithms to industrial operations' supply chains in order to improve their ability to adapt to market changes. Even when it comes to complex and increasingly customized products in various batches, using artificial intelligence opens up completely new possibilities for flexible, efficient production.
Genomics
The fourth industrial revolution, which includes technologies that combine hardware and software with biology, includes genomics and bioinformatics. As a result, new datasets, information and data charts, and portfolios have been produced. Genomic and bioinformatics represent the fourth industrial revolution, which is quickly changing the nature of human labor by putting more and more reliance on technology and computer algorithms.
Cobots
A cobot, or collaborative robot, is a computer that communicates with people on a floor where people and robots are working side by side. Cobot can pick up a variety of jobs quickly and help people. Cobots are deployable in a secure area. The cobot can be taught to slow down when a human enters the zone. Then, if the person is too close, it will cease tracking them and stop responding. Cobots can be taught to imitate how people carry out various chores and jobs over time. Examples of cobots include sorting products, palletizing, bin picking, machine loading, offering products to a production line, putting products on a conveyor strip, filing crates or boxes, etc. Cobots can provide factory managers with information transparency by checking and analyzing data. They usher in a new age of the fourth industrial revolution by performing hostile, complex, or dangerous tasks that give physical assistance to human workers.
Augmented Reality
The use of information in the form of text, graphics, audio, and other virtual enhancements that are integrated with physical items is known as augmented reality (AR). It functions with cameras and AR apps on smartphones, tablets, and smart glasses. The AR software processes the camera's video stream using computer vision to identify objects in the surrounding world. The AR system can now project virtual material as a result. Then, using the display device, it realistically overlays the digital content on top of the actual surroundings. Retail, transportation, and smart inventories are some applications for augmented reality. Augmented reality can be used in fashion houses to attract customers to specific goods.
Cloud Computing
When a computer system is available on demand even when there is no obvious storage in the user's possession, this is called cloud computing. The primary applications of cloud computing are in operational and managerial procedures. Users don't need to load individual apps on their laptops or workstations because cloud computing systems can centralize data storage, bandwidth, and processing. They are easily accessible from the computer by users. In cloud apps, information is also exchanged in real-time. It lowers the cost of hiring a manager for a local server, increases scalability, and also improves dependability. Information kept in the cloud is hardly ever deleted.
Cognitive computing
A digital computing system's copy is what cognitive computing is like. It generates solutions to a broad range of problems using self-learning algorithms based on data mining and pattern recognition. When given a job, a cognitive computing system approaches it with intelligence akin to that of a human. Semantics, AI algorithms, deep learning, and machine learning are just a few of the clever technologies that it can combine. We eventually use cognitive computing in daily life, for example, when Netflix suggests movies based on previous viewing habits, Amazon suggests products that are related to or similar to ones that have already been purchased, and Facebook populates newsfeeds with content that has already been interacted with.
