“Industry 4.0 is not merely a matter of connecting machines and products thought the Internet. It’s a paradigm shift in how we organize, manage, and approach business. As a society, we are starting to feel the impacts of Industry 4.0 already. Not only are companies investing, but governments around the world are pouring a lot of money into this idea as the way of the future.”
