Industry 4.0 Industry 4.0 refers to the current trend of automation and data transfer in design and technologies. It refers to the development of smart and autonomous digital systems producing smart machines that keep getting smarter as they get access to more data from algorithms and the internet, without the need of human intervention. Industry 4.0 is often referred to as the 4th Industrial Revolution where: the first Industrial Revolution in the 18th century was when mechanisation, steam and water power was developed the second Industrial Revolution was the development of mass production and the assembly line the third Industrial Revolution was when computers and resulting automation began. Examples of Industry 4.0 SAM (or Semi Automated Mason) is a robot that can lay bricks at In your book, least three times faster than humans —and it never gets tired or research a design makes mistakes. and technology Drones can now be used for crop spraying, planting, aerial imaging, enterprise that remote monitoring and analysis of fields and crops which will result has increased profitability as a in increased productivity and profitability for farmers. result of Industry Immobots are immobile robots that can think for themselves and 4.0 and report can operate machines without human intervention. NASA's craft your results to Deep Space One used Immobots to successfully re-program your class. software on the craft to overcome problems when filming an asteroid deep in space. Impact of Industry 4.0 on Societies Industry 4.0 requires raw materials to fuel progressive development; mineral, oil and gas extraction have the potential to impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders by: causing environmental damage to traditional lands a loss of culture, traditional knowledge and livelihoods causing conflict and forced displacement of communities further marginalization, increased poverty and a decline in health providing more income for Indigenous communities to improve living standards, education and health. Agreements such as that between Argyle Diamonds and the Miriuwung, Gidja, Malgnin and Woolah peoples on whose land an Argyle mine sits in the Kimberley region of WA, attempts to recognise the local Indigenous Peoples as landlords of Argyle’s mining lease and establishes a long-term relationship between the company and local indigenous communities. Impact of Industry 4.0 on Societies Positive Impacts of Industry 4.0 on the wider Negative Impacts of Industry 4.0 on the wider community could include: community could include: new products and services that increase the inequality which represents the greatest efficiency and pleasure of our personal lives; societal concern associated with Industry 4.0. many things can now be done remotely - Innovation generally favours the innovators, buying a product, ordering a cab, making a shareholders and investors - which explains payment, listening to music, booking a flight, the rising gap in wealth between those watching a film, playing a game dependent on capital versus those dependent long-term gains in efficiency and productivity on labour for design and technology businesses. the demand for highly skilled workers may Transportation and communication costs increase while the demand for workers with should fall, global supply chains should less education and lower skills may decrease become more efficient and the cost of trade resulting in a loss of traditional jobs and should fall (particularly with Asia), resulting in employment for lower skilled workers. a boost to economic growth.
