Expose the examples of digital technologies and

processes of industry 4.0 in industrialized
processes.
 DEFINITION OF INDUSTRY 4.0

Industry 4.0 is a way of producing goods and

services and is based on new industrial
technologies.
First of all, you should know the following:
• Identify the points that add value with the
integration of digital enablers.
• Identify the type of connectivity, buses or field.
• If there are systems for data exploration.
Note: do not confuse industrial process automation
with Industry 4.0, this provides the digitization and
exploitation of data.
EXAMPLES OF
INDUSTRIALIZED
PROCESSES IN
INDUSTRY

• However, examples of new

technologies that add value in
the new Industry 4.0 model will
be presented
 Machine learning
• It is the technology that allows smart
devices to learn and make decisions
based on data
• To highlight some of the benefits it brings
is the time saving through task
automation: (Optimization of processes
or in the logistics chain), reduction of
errors in processes, better customer
service (customer segmentation) doing
analysis of preferences in taste, needs
and habits.
• Highlights and obtains an impact on
production processes and predictive
maintenance.
 Big Data

• It consists of analyzing large volumes of

data to obtain valuable information that
can be applied in different areas of a
business.
• he information comes from the sensors in
the machines, productivity indicators
(SCADA), quality controls, energy
efficiency, etc.
• the objective is to convert this information
into smart data in real time and that it is
available at the moment.
 Implementation of collaborative
robotics (cobots)
• robotics has evolved into a concept of
small Robots offering greater flexibility,
security allowing them to participate in
the processes together with the staff.
• In this way, the cobots were created to
help people in the most repetitive tasks
avoiding fatigue and repeatability failures,
dangerous environments, etc.
Cobots provide added value in all sectors of
industry. They can be found in processes such as
the following:

• Food, where they would be in charge of

analyzing the product by detecting and rejecting
those that do not meet the established quality
standards.
•Electronic assemblies, due to their flexibility,
would be prepared for short prototyped
productions.
• Plastics and polymers, where it is necessary
to manipulate and adapt parts of various
characteristics.
• Medicine. It is easy to find cobots
collaborating in operating rooms where the
precision of the surgery can be compromising
for the patient.
 3D additive printing
• It is one of the emerging technologies with an
important role in Industry 4.0. The use of
additive printing, and in combination with other
technologies, is allowing a shift towards a
smarter industry.
• 3D printing is a technology that makes a model
developed without interventions, eliminating
costs, tools, waste of raw material, etc.
• an advantage is that if the model sent by the
manufacturer is not compatible with the
Machine in concrete and requires a
modification, because from the factory the
solution can be modeled and reported to the
original manufacturer for its evolutionary
product.
• Finally, working with this tool and with the
advances in materials that are taking place, it
is clear that it gives a very important value to
the industry.
 IoT
• The loT industry is defined as the network of
devices, machines and sensors connected to each
other and to the internet.
• We must not forget the importance of
cybersecurity, since it protects against the
vulnerability of intervening in industrial processes.
That is why it is important to evaluate that data can
be shared on the network.
• They can be found in processes or machines that
are integrated to meet production requirements, so
as not to have the monitoring that allows analyzing
behavior through data analysis and predicting
anomalies (Predictive maintenance).
• For example, the need for monitoring rotary
machines can be found, where sensorization
through pizoelectrics for the analysis of vibrations
through AI algorithms can observe the behavior of
the machines and predict failures
• If loT is not available to facilitate your intervention,
it would be necessary to intervene in a PLC
controller or field bus for its monitoring, the costs
being higher and with an added degree of difficulty
 Digital twin
• It is about replacing physical devices or
processes with virtual devices that allow you to
simulate the changes, improvements, or
behavior of the final product without
compromising resources.
• In industry,
they can be used in various areas, such as
aerospace, automotive, health and energy:
• Aerospace
General Electric uses digital twins to monitor the
status of aircraft engines. SpaceX uses this
technology to optimize the design of its rockets
and evaluate possible failures.
• Automotive
Tesla uses digital twins to predict possible
failures or breakdowns in its cocnes, which
improves the customer experience and reduces
repair costs.
• Energetic
Digital twins can help meet the challenges of the
transition to a more sustainable and effective
energy model.
 Augmented reality
• Augmented reality allows Add visual
information about the real world.
• This helps to understand the environment
in real time, for example a maintenance
technician performing an intervention on a
machine where the disassembly and
diagnostic information is provided in real
time and on the machine another example,
an intervention has to be carried out in a
plant and the fault is not located, the plant
augmented reality can facilitate the location
of the element.
• In addition, it allows you to work hands-free
thanks to display devices such as smart
glasses. Allowing to visualize Instructions
at the same time as an intervention is
performed.
• On the other hand, in maintenance where
the industry is increasingly connected and
intelligent, it is necessary in the
maintenance tasks carried out by highly
qualified personnel, because thanks to
augmented reality it is possible to assist
engineers effectively and in real time.
 Prescriptive maintenance.
• Is a maintenance strategy that uses data analysis and
technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine
learning to identify equipment problems and recommend
actions to reduce operational risks.
• Prescriptive maintenance allows:
• Identify early signs of degradation
• Intervene in a timely manner to prevent problems from
getting worse
• Minimize downtime and operational interruptions
• Extend the useful life of assets
• Eliminate the incidence of failures

• Some of the benefits of prescriptive maintenance are:

• Optimization of time in decision making
• Real-time maintenance data and history
• Greater availability of machines
• Greater reliability
• Cost reduction
• Process automation
 CONCLUSIÓN
A reflection has been made on the importance of knowing how an industrial environment is defined,
which allows developing a development plan towards an intelligent industry and to do so, one must
know the new technologies and digital enablers that contribute to success. As has been seen, there
are many processes involved in the production chain and which are defined in the industrial pyramid.
For this reason, the participation of personnel in all their competencies is very important in the
definition of an Industry 4.0, as well as not forgetting the very important role that cybersecurity plays
in a connected industry.
