2 Industry Evolution The continual transition, growth and evolution of the manufacturing industries of today are a testament to the technological and organizational achievements and ingenuity that many a country and persons have contributed to over time. 18 TH CENTURY 19 TH CENTURY 20 TH CENTURY INDUSTRY 1.0 In 1784, the first mechanical powered loom was developed and therefore irrevocably changed the textile industry. The introduction of new mechanical or technological developments and systems to manufacturing and processing plants, powered by steam and water brought exponential growth to various industries, cultures and countries. INDUSTRY 2.0 From 1870 to 1914, the Second Industrial Revolution witnessed the expansion of electricity, petroleum and steel. With inventions such as the telephone, internal combustion engine and the more perfected or efficient light bulb industries were able to extend their work beyond the day. Industry 2.0 brought with it the first production line and mass production using electricity. The introduction of division of labor in production was also made possible using electrical power. INDUSTRY 3.0 The 70 s ushered in an electronic revolution to the manufacturing industry. Programmable controls and connected electronics enabled true automation and a rise of robotics and subsequent IT related products. The adoption and proliferation of digital computers, digital storage and newer communication technology marked the beginning of the Digital Revolution and the beginning of the Information Age.

3 TODAY INDUSTRY THE SMART FACTORY The next evolving manufacturing phase is due in part to the growing number of interconnected devices, machines, people and databases. Enabled by the maturation of various technologies including robotics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, advanced sensor technology, data capture and analysis, 3D printing and the Internet of Things (IoT); manufacturers are facing a world where these technologies are not only interconnected but hyper-aware and highly flexible. ROBOTICS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CLOUD COMPUTING 3D PRINTING ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY INTERNET of THINGS DATA CAPTURE & ANALYSIS Internet of Things (IoT): the internetworking of physical devices, connected devices/smart devices, buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.
