What is Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, enables enterprises, governments and public sector agencies to use innovative digital technologies, smart automation and advanced analytics to transform their operating processes. This blending of technologies creates a convergence of the physical and digital worlds, enabling an era of massive industry improvements and positive impacts for societies.
The journey to Industry 4.0 is powered by ubiquitous connectivity, cloud computing and rich data. It requires high-performance networks that can integrate with legacy environments to support critical processes with strong security, 24/7 availability, high speed and ultra-fast responsiveness. These networks must connect all machines, people and processes and offer deep data insights that can enable agile and proactive operations.
Meet the Industry 4.0 heroes leading the way to digital transformation
Forward-thinking enterprises across many sectors are building a foundation for Industry 4.0 with proven, high-performance network solutions that provide ubiquitous connectivity for enhanced automation and digitalization use cases. See how these Industry 4.0 heroes are harnessing the exponential potential of networks to turn their digital transformation visions into reality.
How can governments and the public sector benefit from Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0 helps governments use digital-era technologies to connect underserved areas and close the digital divide. When every citizen is connected and services are made more accessible, economies thrive and communities can be more sustainable and inclusive.
For public sector agencies focused on public safety, healthcare and defense, digital transformation is about keeping frontline workers and communities safe. It provides the tools they need to respond faster and safer and make better-informed, split-second decisions when it matters the most.
See how society-critical networks fueled by Industry 4.0 can make a difference for communities around the globe.
Improving industry resilience with digital transformation
Enterprises in every industry want to use digitally driven operations to increase their productivity, agility and operational resilience. Dynamic, intelligent networks will play a central role in helping enterprises achieve these ambitions.
With networks that sense, think and act, you can transform your business from end to end so that you’ll be able to recover quickly and maintain your output when unexpected or uncontrollable events occur. You can also ensure that you’ll be ready to adapt and respond effectively whenever new market opportunities arise.
Find out how digitalization enabled by industrial-grade connectivity can make any enterprise more resilient.
Using digitalization to provide paths to sustainability
Sustainability has become an environmental and financial imperative for enterprises. It’s not just about avoiding costly fines from regulators. Companies that meet sustainability targets can unlock growth by supporting new business models. They’re also more attractive to customers that want suppliers who can help them meet their own sustainability commitments.
Digitalization provides paths to sustainability with tools such as pervasive connectivity, cloud, advanced analytics and industrial automation. Fueled by the Industry 4.0 goals of efficiency, productivity and agility, digitalization brings new ways to connect people and workplaces, accelerate the shift to more sustainable business practices and measure environmental impacts with greater intelligence built into the entire operation. There is no green without digital.
