Industry 4.0 and Green Economy today appear increasingly linked, if not inseparable. In recent years, the concept of sustainability in manufacturing has become one of the identifying elements of the fourth industrial revolution.

In 2011, 10 years ago, the term Industry 4.0 made its debut at Hannover Messe in Germany. Since then, this new industrial era has conveyed concepts and technological innovations that revolutionized the global manufacturing sector.

It’s a Yes to the refinancing of the New Sabatini in the 2022 Budget Law. The maneuver amounts to a total of about € 30 billion, of which € 8 billion for the internationalization of companies and € 900 million to refinance the Nuova Sabatini in the period 2022-2026.

Between cyber-attacks, catastrophic events and human error, the primary data centers of companies are constantly exposed to threats that can cause loss of profits, damage to the image, leak of sensitive information, and delays in production or orders evasion.

With the decentralization of production in Industry 4.0, there is a growing need for smart devices suitable for an increasingly dynamic manufacturing context. The confluence of technological developments such as digitalization and the Internet of Things leads to new ways to control, connect, and manage production devices.

With the Industrial Internet of Things and the connected machinery increase in smart factories, the volume of available data continues to grow. For this reason, we need a production model capable of processing, analyzing, and optimizing all those data, so that it can be valuable in terms of productivity and efficiency.

In Industry 4.0, data plays a central role. With the development of faster networks, wider storage space and new sensor technologies, companies have access to ever higher volumes of information. Sometimes even too much…

Let’s start with a hot topic in manufacturing: predictive and preventive maintenance. Identifying potential machinery problems before they fail, thus reducing downtime and increasing productivity, is one of the key trends in Industry 4.0.

Mechatronics plays a fundamental role in industry. It increases functionality and efficiency making systems smarter and more autonomous, reduces costs compared to mechanical solutions, and optimizes design times. Therefore, it’s reasonable to expect an even stronger presence in the future.

ESA launched its new wireless access point, a robust, reliable, and competitive solution that provides stable wireless connectivity to industrial applications.
