Industry 4.0

What is Industry 4.0?

Industry 4.0 refers to the bouquet of new age technologies that are transforming the value creation process in the manufacturing industry. Physical-Digital systems (also known as Cyber-Physical systems or phygital systems) form the foundation of Industry 4.0 and the digitalization, connectivity and intelligence that redefines not only the factors of production (eg. smart manufacturing) but even the full value chain (eg. smart supply chain, business models etc.). It is often referred as Fourth Industrial Revolution, with the previous three revolutions referring to mechanization / mass production of goods, electric power and information revolution.


The big shift has happened because of connected assets and intelligent systems that combine real time information to provide insights at multiple levels to smarten the full value chain. When a billion people joined the Internet, it redefined how people communicate, interact and transact, thereby reimagining every possible industry. Even physical goods and services based industries like ecommerce and transportation have been upended very rapidly. Industry 4.0 brings in a trillion connected assets and its impact will be far reaching.

Industry 4.0 – The Convergence of Transformative Technologies

Internet has removed the distance barrier.  Smartphones have broken the time barrier.  Internet of things has enabled data capture at an elemental level.  Connectivity has ensured that real time data can be monitored.  Integration services built in has bridged the Operational Technologies (PLC, DCS, SCADA) with other enterprise technologies.  Rule based systems and algorithms can enable process automations.  Augmented reality can add experience that traverse between the real and virtual worlds.  Big data provides enormous insights.   Each of these technologies are high impact and a force of change.   And Industry 4.0 brings in their convergence, wherein one or more independent technologies interoperate efficiently and integrate to define new outcomes that reshapes the process, business models and the basic constructs of the industry. 

Application Areas:

Industry 4.0 touches business, operations, people and information and recasts their interactions in myriad new ways to deliver innovation and efficiency, at scale to transform the whole value chain.  Principal applications in the manufacturing domain include the following six areas.

1.Supply Chain Management: Supply chain consists of diverse components, sourced from multiple tiers of suppliers with many intermediary steps including transportation, storage, customs clearance etc.  Information exchange, automation and intelligence can make the supply chain and associated processes more efficient.  Driverless in-plant vehicles, intelligent containers and storage units, smart warehouses,  sensor controlled cold chains, blockchain led distributed ledgers, process digitalization at ports and borders are few examples.  Industry 4.0 technologies have integrated the enterprise with its long tail of supply value chain and has enabled real time information exchange of inventory, seamless communication of sales and operating plants, traceability of supplier components at a granular level, flexible ecosystem with better demand planning, reduction of inefficiencies and quick time to market.

2.Customer Relationship Management: Customer demands are changing rapidly and are expecting instantaneous gratification. Product life cycles are getting shorter. Beyond goods and services, experience has become pivotal.  Customer feedback, positive or negative is getting amplified via social media.   Industry 4.0 provides multitude of ways to segment, target, position, promote, influence, sell, process payments, deliver, manage and respond to customer demands at granular level and at scale simultaneously.

3.Business Models: Uberization has driven newer models around orchestration of experience led customer ownership. Electric vehicles and cheaper renewable energy is overturning the oil led economics.Self driving cars are information led and changing the fundamental design tenets. Span of customer interactions are becoming deeper and for selective vendors. Business processes and even established business models are getting commoditized and organizations are constantly innovating to gain newer capabilities and competencies.


4. Manufacturing Operations: In response to high velocity external changes, technology has driven rapid changes in production systems to deliver newer and innovative products, that are better functionally and technically, greener and eco-friendly, in a faster and more efficient process, in safe and secure environment while being cheaper and cost effective.  Autonomous robots are engaged for hazardous operations.   3D or additive manufacturing is employed for unique and custom manufacturing.  Dynamic production planning and rapid change in product mix are becoming the norms.  Production lines are getting automated and even remotely controlled.  Non-intrusive testing and inspections discover defects at first mile of production.  Traceability at component level enabled tracking and quick resolution.

5. Operational Process Efficiency: Industry 4.0 creates many technology led opportunities to identify and eliminate inefficiencies and bottlenecks and drive process optimization and operational excellence. Covid-19 accelerated a lot of digitalization in a very short span of time.   Cloud based systems,  remote monitoring tools, automated alerts and notifications on first symptoms have all become the essential support structure in the new normal of remote working.  Digital era has led to information explosion and the agility required by market enabled decentralization of data for quick decision making and where possible automation of decision support.  Stringent regulations and compliance led to robotics and computer vision based tools deployment.  Industry 4.0 has led to higher asset utilization, operational efficiency enhanced people productivity and empowerment.

6. Asset Management & Plant Maintenance: Poor plant maintenance strategies can substantially reduce manufacturing efficiency. Traditionally plant maintenance has been heuristics based, driven by paper based processes, non-standard and fragmented.  Digital era led to intelligent machines coupled with CMMS Software and technology integrations has led to efficient information capture at elementary level.   Process standardization, risk based inspections and condition based interventions have led to preventive maintenance effectiveness.   Simplification of technology has led to wider user adoption and higher engagement.  Smart analytics implementation has led to predictive insights, metrics based management, goal based maintenance and better shop floor to top floor analytics.  Smart Maintenance strategy has led to better plant maintenance, thereby improving asset uptime, utilisation and efficiency.

Maintenance 4.0 for Smart Plant Maintenance:

Maintenance 4.0 is  the application of the Industry 4.0 to improve Capital Assets Management and Plant Maintenance.  Maintenance 4.0, using the digital technologies, provide a lot of information about the assets under management, including their performance and failure history and helps in improving the availability and reliability.

Digital Foundation

Digital Foundation

Intelligent Machines  is emerging as one of the most powerful manifestations of the industry 4.0 revolution. With the advent of technology, traditional maintenance practices are transforming today.  Industry 4.0 technologies are reshaping the factory shop floor and thus the equipment maintenance.   Rapid advances in cloud, mobile, analytics and Internet of Things technologies and their low entry barriers and affordable costs are driving the next wave of breakthrough innovations and disruptions. 

Smart, connected factories require companies to build an entirely new technology stack, that operates in tandem with the physical equipment and other assets.  Information exchange between the Physical-digital infrastructure, their interactions and resultant process changes, automation can help harvest big benefits and can ultimately converge the information to establish digital twins (equipment twins / factory twins).

The new technology stack is made up of multiple layers and numerous components, including embedded hardware and sensors, built in microcontrollers, memory chips, retrofitted electronics, embedded software, input / output ports, wired and wireless adapters, network and storage systems, public and enterprise cloud servers often supplemented by services, security frameworks, standards, protocols etc. 

Understanding these layers, components and their integration is essential in defining a cohesive strategic plan.  Computing infrastructure in the form of high-performance servers, operating systems, databases and other system software to run the digital technology services forms the base layer.  This layer has been abstracted and commoditized by the many cloud service providers and offered as an elastic service, available on demand.  Enterprise technology stack is built on top of these public cloud infrastructure or similar private enterprise cloud infrastructure. 


Digital Foundation comprises of the application fabric hosted on top of the cloud infrastructure and provides the digital services and interfaces for other systems to interact.  It hosts all the asset information including their identification, so that when other external systems (PLC, SCADA, Internet of Things) are connected, the equipment information can be correctly mapped and made accessible to the workforce.

Digital foundation can also connect with emerging technologies like Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality and deliver asset information via Smartglasses.

In the Industrial Asset Management context, the Digital Foundation can be understood as a combination of

  • Asset Register: Repository of all information relating to different assets like facilities, equipment, spares, instruments, utilities and fleet.  It supports asset identification and codification, hierarchy of assets, parent-child relationships and equipment classifications (group and sub-group, type, production / standby, rotary asset etc.).  It can also host additional information relating to the asset like nameplate details, attributes, technical specifications, design documents, vendor information, cost center, permits required for work etc. Asset register thus contains all the static information related to the specific asset.
  • Process Assets Library: Digital Foundation also hosts all the relevant plans, processes, procedures and knowledge bases specific to the performing organization. Process asset libraries can include maintenance plans, preventive maintenance schedules and checklists, failure phenomena, instrument calibration schedules, why why analysis sheets, management reporting templates etc.  Organizations strive to unify and standardize the processes and distribute the common checklists and templates to all stakeholders, update them with higher versions by including the learnings.  Process Asset Libraries play a critical role in standardization, institutionalization and continuous improvement.
  • Application Tools: Tools perform a specific task or a group of related tasks, initiated by an user or another application. Tools can help digitize the processes and ensure compliance with the process flow.  Examples include information search, data validation, transaction completion, rules engine comparisons, workflows, calculations, chart visualizations etc.  Tools can also automate the business processes and can be system driven.
  • Asset History: Digital foundation also holds all the historic information of the asset to present a 360-degree view of the asset.  It holds information on past failures, underlying issues, downtime records, actions taken, utilization and performance metrics, maintenance and operations cost, budget vs actuals, knowledge base relating to the equipment etc.  This information can be combined with other sources to derive meaningful inferences and asset intelligence.
  • User Interface: Digital foundation by virtue of being the application, becomes the interface for users to access information, enter transactions, view analytics and reports, get notified on alerts etc.  User interface supports multiple devices like PCs, Tablets and mobile phones and provide access / information via web browsers, mobile apps, email, text messages, push notifications etc.  Digital foundation acts as the primary window for the users for views on the equipment, line and plant.    Being human interface, the application needs to simplify the underlying technology and present an easy-to-use and engaging experience for the users.

Another perspective is to look at the whole physical-digital infrastructure as a system of interactions between man, machine, process, data and technology tools.  They interact in myriad different ways to create business value in newer ways than ever.    They bring together the disparate machines onto one integrated system.  They create systems of enormous scale and efficiency.  And they enable new levels of collaboration between people and things to create entirely new products and services.

Benefits of Digital Foundation

  • Single Source of Truth: Aggregates all information about the asset at a single place.  Comprehensive, integrated and provides a holistic view.
  • Process Standardization and Institutionalization: Standard process ensures uniformity and consistency.  Easy to manage process changes.  Update at one place and all inheritances gets automatically synchronized.
  • Knowledge base & Learning: Helps build a learning organization.  Knowledge on demand facilitates fast and efficient response to recurrent issues.


  • Collaboration: Remote monitoring can enable collaboration across time and distance.  Application tools like eOffice can track all the action items of the team.
  • Data driven insights: Provides comprehensive asset intelligence at multiple levels. Enables better asset utilization, productivity and return on investments.
  • Intelligent decision support:  First symptom alerts on breach of critical parameters, intelligent work order creation and support for predictive maintenance.
  • High Performance Organization: Improves the productivity and efficiency of the organization.  Enables Smart Workforce. 

Industry 4.0 is becoming all pervasive across many industries including manufacturing, power, turnkey O&M services, logistics and specialized industrial services.  And it creates avenues for organizations of all sizes and provides radical benefits in production and service delivery.  Embracing industry 4.0 is a competitive necessity and strategic advantage for the organizations.  The digital technology stack can facilitate convergence of process, data and technology tools, that enables people to rapidly develop, iterate and operate digital services at scale.

Connected Systems

Connected Systems - Integrating Operational Technology with Enterprise Technology

Operational Technology is a broad term that defines the interfaces, controllers and systems that monitors, manages and controls the industrial assets and processes.  Though the concept of SCADA, PLCs are old, Operational Technology (OT) is relatively new and used as an umbrella term that encompasses a broader range of technologies and control systems. 

Sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), Programmable  Logic Controllers (PLCs), Remote Terminal Units (RTU),  Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems, Automation Systems, Decision Control Systems (DCS), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Building Information Management (BIM) Systems, Energy Monitoring Systems (EMS), Human Machine Interface (HMI), Machine2Machine (M2M)  etc. fall under this category. 

Internet of Things describes the network of intelligent things, wherein assets and other objects have embedded sensors to monitor critical parameters and ability to communicate with a central controller or server via internet.  Internet of Things have enabled machines to become intelligent machines, that can self-monitor performance and diagnose themselves. 


Traditionally each technology or system is self contained with its own logic, data storage, monitoring and supervisory controls and worked independently and effectively at the plant level.  Since they were designed as specific limited purpose systems, by and large they were not integrated with other systems.  Limitations of that era in real time communications, storage and high volume data analysis restricted their reach outside the individual plants and they were left alone as independent silos.

Recent advances in communications and networking enabled real time communication of these systems outside their silos.  Integration services helped connect these systems with other disparate systems to provide an unified view.  Big data systems helped in processing the volume, variety and velocity of data generated and derive higher order business intelligence.

Artificial learning and machine intelligence has helped identify hidden patterns and generate predictive analytics.

Digitalization created a lot many new businesses and as well changed many existing ones.  Information pure play businesses like music, photography, data services etc. were disrupted.  Business that were built on inefficient information or gatekeepers of information like ticketing, hotel room booking etc. had their business models upended.  Uberization led to the transformation of an existing service-based industry like cab hailing, food delivery etc.

When a billion people connected over the Internet, the way businesses communicate their brands, sell their wares, manage delivery channels, process payments, listen to customer feedback and offer additional services changed digitally.   Imagine the impact and transformation that can be brought in the industrial landscape when  trillions of devices get connected to the Internet. 

Digitalization has transformed the shop floor.  Machines that consisted only of mechanical and electrical components earlier, sport an array of sensors, actuators,  microcontrollers, data storage, I/O ports, applications etc. making them intelligent machines.  In effect, the earlier siloed machine is now connected with its operating environment, integrated with the  larger machine pool and is viewed as a production system.

Smart machines and connected systems provide newer functionalities, improve equipment and line reliability, streamlines production processes, enables higher resource utilization and provide lot of opportunities for optimization.  Industrial Internet of Things has the potential to extend beyond the Enterprise firewalls with supply chains and customer organizations.  Real time information exchange across the value chain can optimize many inefficiencies and improve agile response to changing business needs.

Many of the machinery manufacturers have a built in technology stack.  Using this, they can even remotely monitor assets at customer premises to view their current status, performance, health, utilization, failures etc.  Smart technology is transforming business from product sales to performance based contracts and as-a-service delivery.  For example a boiler OEM’s business mix that was product led (new boiler sale + some fixed annual maintenance services) is changing to services led (performance contracts for ensuring 99% availability) and to newer “as a service” business models (Steam-as-a-service wherein entire capex and opex is assumed by the OEM and steam produced is sold at predefined rates and quantity).

Earlier intervention of information technology digitized paperwork, automated existing business processes and supported with business applications.  Core products and services largely remained in tact.  Industry 4.0 with its converged technologies is changing the fundamental business tenet.  Business models are getting altered, competition is coming from new age upstarts and industry structure is getting altered. 

Industry 4.0 technologies thus has the potential to be the biggest transformation driving growth and innovation, productivity and efficiency, cost and value, utilization and reliability, personalization and mass production and many other business drivers.  Enterprises need to embrace, adopt and adapt to the new technology led changes. 

How can MaintWiz help you?

Data and technology have become the new factors of production.

  1. Connecting the disparate systems to a common platform thus bridging the gap between Operating Technology and Enterprise Technology. Data can be exchanged between systems and other enterprise applications with out friction and on an automated fashion.
  2. 360 degree view of the Production System. Provides a unified view of the line with individual equipment along with their upstream and downstream equipment, their operating environment, production and maintenance schedules, utilization, performance, failures etc. 
  3. Remote Monitoring of critical parameters from offsite. Helps in monitoring similar assets from a central control room and leveraging the central team’s expertise for troubleshooting at remote sites.
  4. Condition Monitoring of critical parameters to trigger pre-defined downstream actions upon breach of control limits. With connected systems, condition monitoring need not be depedent on individual equipment parameters but based on the system.  (eg. Leakage detected in pipeline can trigger upstream valve closure)
  5. Utilities Monitoring and tracking their specific consumption (power, water, fuel, nitrogen etc.) against production output.
  6. Business Intelligence and insights derived out of the information to support strategic business goals. Information captured can help in unlocking many inefficiencies like latent invisible information (residual life of spare parts), optimization (inventory) optimization, planning (production or maintenance planning), equipment performance, warranty services and budgeting.
  7. Improve people productivity by providing them relevant information in demand, alert them on potential problems before they happen, provide decision support and feed performance metrics.
  8. Connected Products – Extending beyond the enterprise to monitor equipment available at customer premises, analyze their data to come up with superior design changes or shift to “as a service” business models
