Hello Manufacturing Digital readers ,
I write to you in a state of national mourning . Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 and by the end of her long life , had witnessed an evolution across manufacturing . In her 70 years on the throne , Her Majesty saw the beginning and the end of Industry 3.0 , which brought automation , electronics and the computer and the start of ioT and Big Data with Industry 4.0 .
The Queen championed British manufacturing , although for the Queen ’ s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 , manufacturing in the UK fell , as workers enjoyed two days off work for street parties . Nine-year-old Prince George of Wales is now second in line to the throne . Whatever he will see in his lifetime , Manufacturing Digital will be here to report , possibly by hologram .
Thank you Ma ' am ,
