JULY 20216 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSBy combining connectivity, intelligence, and flexible automation in a cyber-physical converged environment, Industry 4.0 has been drastically transforming the traditional manufacturing landscape even before the pandemic. However, the role of Industry 4.0 has become even more critical in the backdrop of the COVID crisis as players utilising digital solutions are not just in a better position to wade this crisis but also to thrive in the post-COVID world. But the subsequent hastened adoption of Industry 4.0, in turn, is emboldening malicious actors to develop new and increasingly sophisticated mechanisms to exploit the vulnerabilities of the evolving cyber-physical environments.Meantime, while safety and security have traditionally been long-standing priorities for industrial companies, the onset of the pandemic has given new dimensions to them. The factories, for instance, are growingly using sensor technologies to ensure social-distancing protocols and facilitate contact tracing. Going forward, organisations will increasingly leverage leading-edge technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR), to augment safety and security in the industrial spaces. In particular, by combining IoT, real-time data collection, and advanced analytics, AI will drastically improve the safety of personnel and physical assets within a manufacturing environment.In this edition of Manufacturing Technology Insights, we bring you the story of some of the most promising industrial safety and security solution providers in Europe that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
