A few decades ago the\npower of the workforce determined the volume of production and the structural\nstrength of factories. It was common for workers and machines to work together\nto produce the products that we all consumed from all the large industrialized\ncompanies. Life in the industry at the beginning of the 20th century was quite\nsimple: technological evolution accelerated the daily routine and standardized\nlifestyles; the employees of the factories worked between twelve and sixteen\nhours a day being exploited by the industries for which they worked, the\nhousewives saw their work simplified when they no longer had to manufacture the\nproducts they used, the cities increased, the world economy grew, as well as\nthe birth rate, the demand and later, environmental pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fifty years later a\nradical change emerged: information and communication technologies. Suddenly,\nthe world became smaller, the way we communicated changed the way we did\nbusiness; the number of companies multiplied, the competition acquired an\ninternational direction with the commercial opening and globalization conquered\nus with its great advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is impressive what\nhumanity has progressed in little more than a century. The human mind has been\nchanging to a higher complexity, on each occasion, the human is willing to do\nbigger and better things. As the years go by, needs have become deeper, and\nweek after week companies must reimagined themselves to be up to the consumers.\nToday, we all want immediacy in actions, companies more than all. Everyday life\nhas been revived more than ever and we want results in a matter of nanoseconds,\nthis directly affects the industry, which must seek better and faster ways to\ncover its market share. For this, new technology has been born, intelligently\ntrained to carry out what is impossible for us; all this knowledge is part of\nindustry 4.0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The four factors to\nanalyze in Industry 4.0 are: design, manufacturing, logistics and distribution\nand sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The design is radically\ndifferent from previous years. At this point marketing and industrial design\nare key; the first serves to examine how the market and its segments operate.\nThanks to Big Data and the Internet of Things, market penetration is much\nsimpler, empowering companies with a focus on the customer, creating a link\nwith it and making it a participant in decisions. On the other hand, industrial\ndesign is playing a better role for the environment and consumers, creating\nsocially responsible products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contemporary\nmanufacturing introduces new value-added factors that improve the quality of\nproducts and seeks flexible and efficient processes that can be integrated into\nthe production process through technology. The goal of manufacturing is to\nadapt to the demands of customers in real time. All this, in addition, without\nincreasing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another significant\nobjective is, of course, the intervention of advanced technology for production\nand management. Integral technology is required to improve efficiency and\nreduce the environmental impact in all channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In logistics all the\nprocesses are interconnected and human labor is replaced by the automated, in\naddition, the volume of made products decreases due to the manufacture on\ndemand, reducing the stock and improving the personalization of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The distribution and\nsale begins to abandon the traditional sale channels to focus on those that are\navailable 24\/7 digitally, feeding the Big Data with important information on\nconsumer habits to deliver products quickly and personalized to this one. It is\nprecisely this type of communication between the company and the customer, one\nanother of the areas of opportunity that a company in the industry 4.0 has,\nthat is, to link with the client in real time to help him throughout his\npurchasing process, from the specifications of the product and the method of\npayment, the form of distribution and delivery date as well as post-sale\nservices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, it should be noted that the 4.0 industry brings with it new business models, new ways of creating a product and new ways to market it. Any company that wants to be at the height of an inconsistent market must opt \u200b\u200bfor change … or not survive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
