Game Changes for IoT, Robotics, & Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing

According to one of Maurice Conti's TED presentations, we arrived to a new, augmented age, in which Artificial Intelligence gains a new role. The future holds a generated era in which artificial intelligence comes up with its own designs, its own ideas, its own products instead of all our tools being passive, us telling them what to do and them doing it. From now on, tasks will be executed by robots, AI and humans cooperating, robots providing perfect execution, AI the design and humans making the necessary decisions. But in order to get to this point it is crucial to build a "nervous system" for robots through sensors. Industry 4.0 has introduced the concept of data exchange withing manufacturing, opening countless business opportunities, some that were previously unimaginable. By implementing sensors experts will be able to make use of data of all type which were not at hand before, making products become even services as well.
