Our outlook on Industry 4.0
Driven by our passion for innovation and growth, we launched the Lectra 4.0 strategy in 2017 to establish leadership in this field by 2030.
We believe Industry 4.0 bridges the gap between consumers and factories, enhancing precision and flexibility in the design-to-production process.
Whether discussing “smart manufacturing,” the industry of the future, or the intelligent factory, the digitization of industry always aims to optimize manufacturing processes for increased production, higher quality, faster output, greater environmental sustainability, and reduced costs. Various models outline six key steps to achieve these objectives.
Unlocking the potential of Industry 4.0
Challenges
In the Industry 4.0 era, the fusion of physical and digital systems in production represents a paradigm shift. This transformation aims to optimize efficiency, productivity, and innovation by integrating digital technologies across operations.
Opportunities
The transitions underway in all economic activities—digital, ecological, energy, as well as the rapid evolution of consumer needs and demands—require the industrial sector to optimize all its processes, and in particular, to thoroughly reorganize its production methods.
Four main Industry 4.0 technologies
Industry 4.0 came into prominence in the early 2010s, integrating four main technologies:
- Internet of things
- Big data analytics
- Cloud computing
- Artificial intelligence
