Industry 4.0 and the digital revolution are fundamentally transforming the manufacturing sector, ushering in a new era of efficiency, productivity, and innovation. With advancements such as automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, big data analytics, and the Internet of Things, manufacturing processes are becoming more streamlined, flexible, and connected. These technologies optimize production, improve quality control, enable predictive maintenance, and enhance supply chain management. Embracing Industry 4.0 is crucial for manufacturers to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) has become routine for major manufacturers, with almost half now having a PdM team — double the number from five years ago.
