Technologies of Industry 4.0

Today we launch a new section of the ACP website: Technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The section contains two sub-sections, both of which are linked together. Indeed, where relevant, each element of each section is linked together, both internally and to those in the other sub-section.

The first sub-section explains Industry 4.0, or 4IR as it is sometimes known, plus its predecessor revolutions, and a possible 5IR. The second is a directory and explanation of the technologies, related video clips, how they relate to the aerospace industry today, and perhaps tomorrow, some of their uses by that industry, some of the companies that employ them, and the answers to some relevant FAQs. The whole section will evolve and grow as the technologies develop and further ones are added.
