Industry 4.0 and Machine Vision

Industry 4.0, or "The Industrial Internet of Things," will rely upon machine vision to revolutionize industrial automation.

One of the most hotly discussed topics in the manufacturing world today is Industry 4.0, or "The Industrial Internet of Things." Industry 4.0 refers to a set of emerging innovations in advanced automation, machine vision, Big Data, cloud computing and machine learning which will revolutionize manufacturing. Industry 4.0 demonstrates tremendous potential to bolster productivity, reduce waste, refine product quality, enhance manufacturing flexibility, decrease operating costs and deliver myriad other benefits to the factory floor.

工业4.0专门与使用网络物理系统（CPS）（例如传感器）的使用特别相关，这些系统（CPS）具有为制造商和生产商收集数据以识别和跟踪零件和子组件的能力。该数据收集过程使设备能够自主交换信息，并独立控制和互动。

Machine vision will be a critical part of automation systems in Industry 4.0. As data analytics capabilities progress, the high volume of data accessible through vision equipment will be used to identify and flag defective products, understand their deficiencies and enable fast and effective intervention in the Industry 4.0 factory.
