Martin Starkey, Managing Director for Ricardo Performance Products, explores the production challenges of bringing new technologies and products to market
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, widely known as Industry 4.0, is firmly upon us, and is largely being driven by digital technology. The technologies which will continue to be significant contributors to the Fourth Industrial Revolution are: robotics, AI, nanotech, quantum computing, biotech, IOT, wireless tech, 3D printing and fully autonomous vehicles.
Advanced digitisation is now common across the manufacturing sector; technology deployed in factories is increasingly complex and widely connected; and the products being made typically include a significantly greater range of electronic systems.
