#81 A new better world – the innovations brought by Industry 4.0

The intro­duc­tion of 5G tech­no­lo­gy does not only mean chan­ges for network users, such as fast data trans­fer, but also a revo­lu­tion in the pro­duc­tion of vario­us goods and servi­ces. This is the fourth digi­tal revo­lu­tion for which com­pa­nies need to pre­pa­re tho­ro­ugh­ly. How are busi­ness and pro­duc­tion mana­ge­ment in vario­us com­pa­nies chan­ging under the influ­en­ce of new technologies? 

Dr. Eng. Tomasz Kraw­czyk, an expert at DELab UW and the Plat­for­ma Prze­my­słu Przy­szło­ści, talks abo­ut the impact of new tech­no­lo­gies on the pro­cess and orga­ni­za­tio­nal chan­ge in com­pa­nies, answe­ring questions from Dr. Justy­na Pokoj­ska abo­ut:
- the defi­ni­tion of Indu­stry 4.0 and its pil­lars,
- the use of cobots and 5G tech­no­lo­gy,
- the effects of Indu­stry 4.0,
- the orga­ni­za­tio­nal struc­tu­re of Indu­stry 4.0 and its simi­la­ri­ties to the pro­ject (agi­le) form of wor­king,
- the inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry natu­re of the teams and the­ir disper­sal,
- the chan­ges that the pan­de­mic has bro­ught to pro­ces­ses and orga­ni­sa­tions,
- the pur­po­se and possi­bi­li­ties of digi­tal twins,
- the sco­pe of the Indu­stry 4.0 revo­lu­tion,
- the effects of the new work cul­tu­re,
- envi­ron­men­tal gains asso­cia­ted with Indu­stry 4.0 and „gre­en solu­tions”,
- the ine­vi­ta­bi­li­ty of chan­ges bro­ught abo­ut by the idea of Indu­stry 4.0.
