INDUSTRY 4.0

The Fourth Industrial Revolution first appeared in 2011 in Hannover in Germany, at the end of 2013, across the Smart factory of the future outcomes which included an upgrade of the production system for making German manufacturing more internationally competitive.
In Italy the project got the name of Industry 4.0 and was developed and introduced for the first time in 2016.
Industry 4.0 enters the new era of the Smart factory which connects the entire value chain in the manufacturing industry with automation through digitization and new technologies. 
Such a revolution was born out of innovative smart technologies that Galassia has developed, driving to more adaptable and agile manufacturing operations: it gains insights into forecast trends of the global market, improving manufacturing workflows for better job performance and quality, more efficiency plus health & safety benefits as well as new competitive smart tools.
