Lecture-1 IN-4.0

The document outlines the evolution of industrial revolutions, starting from the First Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, which utilized steam power, to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, known as Industry 4.0, which integrates information and communication technologies. Each revolution has significantly transformed manufacturing processes, leading to increased automation and efficiency, such as the introduction of assembly lines and smart factories. The advancements in technology have enabled self-sufficient production systems that can detect and respond to issues autonomously.
