Increasing transparency and confidence through real time data sharing

Three industrial revolutions catalyzed by steam, electricity, and the computer, respectively, have occurred over the course of history and drastically changed the landscape of how goods are manufactured. The next transformation taking shape is being dubbed as Industry 4.0, which is the digitization of manufacturing utilizing data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Interconnectivity, real-time data sharing, and automation are used to increase transparency across an organization’s people and production line and in the supply chain, leading to increased efficiency in manufacturing.
