> to meet the increasing demand for security in Industry 4.0 What’s Industry 4.0? Also what’s 1, 2 and 3.0, actually…

I think it's a German made-up thing in analogy to Web 2.0. The decision-makers wanted to make clear that it's quite the quantum leap and therefore jumped directly to 4.0 (also fourth industrial revolution). "The term was coined by Henning Kagermann, Wolf-Dieter Lukas and Wolfgang Wahlster and first made public in 2011 at the Hanover Fair." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrie_4.0 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrie_4.0

  An incredibly amount of hype was/is generated in Europe in regards to this term. Not really the good kind, in my opinion, a lot of buzzwords being thrown around in the higher research centres and a lot of public money being spent on not-so-well-defined terms.

    Definitely a lot of hype around something that has been known as CIM for a long time :)

1 is steam coal steel. 2 is Ford and such. 3 is early digital 4 is post 2010 buzzwords (IoT, smart whatever, gene editing, AR/VR) It's a totally arbitrary distinction.

1.0: The original industrial revolution of 18-19 centuries. Steam, railways, powered loom and lathes, etc. 2.0: Since 1870s and on, cheap steel via Bessemer process, electricity, large-scale chemical synthesis; unified parts, mass production. 3.0: Since, say, 1940-50s, advanced control systems, electronics, early computers, pervasive plastics, power semiconductors, advanced alloys and advanced welding, simple CNCs. 4.0: Since, say, 2000s, highly integrated electronics, pervasive computers / MCUs, highly programmable and precise CNC machines, everything through CAD software; carbon fiber, advanced glues, 3D printing. https://sustainability-success.com/industry-1-0-to-4-0-2-3-revolution/ https://sustainability-success.com/industry-1-0-to-4-0-2-3-r...

  You mean 19-20th centuries for 1.0, surely, there wasn't much industrial revolution in the 1700s.

    Newcomen invented his steam engine around 1712, and Watt’s steam engines were a thing of the 1760s to 1800 when his patent expired.

    Industry 0.1-beta? People were working on things like steam engines in the 18th C, plus you had some pretty serious water-powered mills then.

    Watts steam engine, maybe the most iconic symbol of industrial revolution, was commercialized in 1776, and similarly many other key developments happened during 1700s
