Information Technologies and Communication Authority Deputy President Figen Kılıç attended the Project Management Summit in Istanbul.
At the Project Management Summit held in Istanbul, Industry 4.0 was discussed. Information Technologies and Communication Authority Deputy President Figen Kılıç, who participated in the program, emphasized that Industry 4.0 is a collective term encompassing many automation systems, data exchange, and production technologies, and that it is a set of values consisting of the Internet of Things, internet services, and cyber-physical systems.
Kılıç listed the most important features of the industrial revolution as follows: “It introduces technologies that eliminate the boundaries between the physical, digital, and biological worlds; the current transformation is not an extension of the 3rd Industrial Revolution but a different change due to its speed, scope, and system impacts. Existing changes do not follow a linear path but an exponential trend. It severs ties with the old in production and opens a brand new page. The content and intensity of these changes make transformation inevitable in design, production, management, and system interactions,” she said.
Describing planned production with minimal errors and fewer resources at lower costs, minimal heat production using minimal energy, elimination of stock waste, and high-speed, reliable operation as the main targets 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.”
Kılıç explained the benefits of Industry 4.0 as “With the Industry 4.0 approach, competitiveness in the production economy, sustainability, production of high value-added products and services, 4-7% productivity increase in production sectors, and up to 3% annual growth with economic and competitive advantages.”
