The Role of Private Wireless in Industry and its Key Role in Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT

Starting in the late 18th century, the industrial revolution has helped enable mass production by creating products using machines rather than by hand. ‘Industry 3.0’, also known as the “Digital Revolution,” emerged in the late 20th century and was characterized by the widespread adoption of computer technology and automation in manufacturing processes.

‘Industry 4.0’ on the other hand represents the ongoing transformation of manufacturing through the integration of digital technologies, automation, and data exchange. Unlike Industry 3.0, which focused primarily on automating individual tasks, Industry 4.0 aims to create fully interconnected, smart manufacturing systems that leverage technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, cloud computing, and cyber-physical systems (CPS).
