Get used to the new terminology, specifically to the following terms which were pushed really harding during all sessions... Anyhow:
-
Industry 4.0
-
Manufacturing 4.0
Read up... Pay attention to that Boddupally empty jargon talk....
One OpenWorld watchword was "Industry 4.0," or "Manufacturing 4.0," which is the concept of connecting nearly every aspect of a company's research and development, supply chain and end product. This new cloud-enabled phase of interconnected production promises a way to ramp up the maturity curve faster by applying new data to a manufacturer's predictions, features and products.
With the rise of rapid prototyping and mass customization, Infosys (NYSE: INFY) Associate Vice President Raghu Boddupally noted that product personalization is now possible at a price that can be competitive with mass-produced goods. According to Boddupally, the technology is available and ready, and the implications of the emergence of Industry 4.0 appear across industries, pointing to increased efficiency, whether that means less down time in oil drilling, or less energy wasted due to the wider adoption of smart home devices.
Those changes are just the tip of the iceberg, everyone agreed. And as the pace of production increases, so will computing capability. As Accenture's Burden put it, "The pace of technology change will never again be as slow as it is right now."
