Industry 4.0: Impacts of Machine Learning on the Manufacturing Industry

The manufacturing industry is deeply impacted by the rise of machine learning projects. Originally coined by the German government in 2011, Industry 4.0 refers to the idea that the world has undergone the process of moving into a Fourth Industrial Revolution. Industry 4.0 is now widely accepted as the next paradigm for production, and if you're not already embracing the new revolution, then you are behind. Many outside of the tech industry are familiar with the First and Second from history textbooks but may not know where modern society now stands. The First revolution was a move from hand-made products to machine-made, the Second was marked by continuous processes and assembly lines, and the Third represented the widespread use of computers and robotics for industrial automation.
