PRODUCTION & OPERATIONS
new paradigm known as Industry 4.0 is reshaping how products are designed , produced and delivered . This fourth industrial revolution , characterised by the integration of digital technologies , artificial intelligence and advanced robotics into manufacturing processes , promises to create smarter , more efficient and more responsive production systems .
At the heart of Industry 4.0 are technologies such as the Internet of Things ( IoT ), AI , cloud computing and advanced robotics . These technologies work in concert to create “ smart factories ” where machines , systems , and humans communicate and collaborate in real-time , optimising production processes and driving unprecedented levels of efficiency .
Embracing cutting-edge Industry 4.0 technologies to revolutionise its manufacturing processes . BMW is showcasing how the automotive industry can leverage advanced technologies from virtual reality simulations to trials with humanoid robots to enhance efficiency , improve worker safety and prepare for the future of manufacturing .
