Revoluciones Industriales

Study Notes

The infographic displays five industrial revolutions, marked by different technologies and stages of development.
1st Revolution (1784): Focus was on mechanization using steam and water power. Key aspects were the use of machines, replacing manual labor.
2nd Revolution (1870): Marked by the use of electricity, leading to mass production and assembly lines. Electric power facilitated production efficiency.
3rd Revolution (1969): Emphasized information technology and communications. Computers and automation enabled processes, creating new technologies such as robotics and automation.
4th Revolution (202x): Defined by digitalization (internet of things, cloud computing). This led to new concepts like Industry 4.0 with cyber-physical systems and interconnectedness.
5th Revolution (202x): Focuses on the circular economy (recycling, resource efficiency). Extractive, production, logistics, consumption loops are all key themes, emphasizing sustainability.
There is an overlapping and interconnected timeline between the revolutions. New technologies often build upon previous ones.
The infographic visually represents a timeline from 1784 to 202x, with a key labeled "Hoy" indicating the current era. Dates indicated are examples of the evolution of the revolutions.

Industry 4.0 is a key part of the 4th revolution. It focuses on digitalization within manufacturing and production.
Industry 5.0 is a part of the 5th revolution, embracing the circular economy and sustainability. It prioritizes the reintegration of human skills and values in the digital revolution.
