Industry 4.0 and #DigitalTransformation @ThingsExpo #AI #IoT #M2M #BigData #Analytics #SmartCities

It seems as if the whole world wants to talk about Industry 4.0 (or Industrie 4.0 if you prefer the European spelling). Industry 4.0 is embodied by two main buzz worthy topics known as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data / Advanced Analytics. The "4.0" references what many consider to be the fourth major industrial revolution. That modest single digit pales in comparison to the other numbers that are bantered about when talking about Industry 4.0. Most estimate that there will be 22.5 Billion IoT devices by 2021 - or roughly three for every one person on earth.
