Kılıç listed the most important features of the industrial revolution as follows: “Introducing technologies that eliminate the boundaries between physical, digital, and biological worlds; today’s transformation is not an extension of the 3rd Industrial Revolution but a different change due to its speed, scope, and system impacts. Current changes do not follow a linear path but an exponential trend. It cuts ties with the old in production and opens a completely new page. The content and intensity of these changes make changes and transformations in design, production, management, and system interactions inevitable,” she said.
Explaining planned production with minimum errors and fewer resources at lower costs, minimum heat generation using minimum energy, eliminating stock waste, and operating at high speed and reliability as the main goals of Industry 4.0, Kılıç stated, “We cannot limit Industry 4.0 to smart production alone. The renewal and智能化 of all environmental factors and processes is inevitable.”
