Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the manufacturing and operations ecosystem by converging the digital and physical worlds and integrating emerging technologies with physical systems. This transformation is characterized by the modern themes of interconnectivity, digitalization, and automation and is made possible through technological developments in fields including Internet of Things (IoT), additive manufacturing, cloud computing, edge computing, analytics, robotics, cybersecurity, Artificial intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML), and Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR).
Enterprise adoption of Industry 4.0 is significantly increasing globally, as it helps achieve cost savings, realize higher revenues, and increases flexibility, visibility, quality, efficiency, and control in industrial setups. Third-party vendors are playing a critical role in accelerating enterprise adoption by offering services across the value chain, point solutions, and platforms, as well as by orchestrating an ecosystem of partner capabilities. As enterprises seek partners that can offer advisory, technology, and scaled execution in their Industry 4.0 journeys, providers continue to invest in skills, infrastructure, and partnerships to differentiate themselves in a fiercely competitive market.
