INDUSTRIAL REVEOLUTION

    Now we are in the 20^th century and the world is going forward with the technological innovations. The acceleration of technical innovations brought about an array of new tools and machines. This is also involved for some practical improvement in various field affecting to labor, production, and resource use. We can call this is for “Industrial revolution”. It has been said that the Industrial Revolution is the most profound revolution in human history. We can reveal the industrial revolution for, four categories.

First industrial revolution (Industry 1.0)

The first industrial revolution began at the end of the 18^th century with the using of steam power and mechanization of production. This was largely confined in Britain. Early in the 19th century the British also invented steam locomotives and steamships, which revolutionized travel. Britain tried to keep secret how its machines were made. But people went there to learn about them and took the techniques for their countries. The first countries after Britain to develop factories and railroads were Belgium, Switzerland, France, and the Germany. Building a national railroad system proved an essential part of this revolution.

Second industrial revolution (Industry 2.0)

The Second Industrial Revolution began in the early stage of 19^th century through the discovery of electricity and assembly line production. Henry Ford took the idea for assembly line principles into automobile production and drastically altered it in the process. While before one station assembled an entire vehicle, now the vehicles were produced in partial steps on the conveyor belt. So, it is significantly faster and at lower cost. This revolution was centered around an economic and industrial model based on large new factories.

Third industrial revolution (Industry 3.0)

The Third Industrial Revolution, or Digital Revolution, began in the end of 19^th century and is characterized by the spread of automation and digitization using electronics and computers, the invention of the Internet, and the discovery of nuclear energy. This era witnessed the rise of electronics like never before, from computers to new technologies that enable the automation of industrial processes.

Fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0)

Now we are living in the fourth industrial revolution, and this is marked by digitalization, digital transformations, data analytics, AI, automation, and IoT. This is an extension of Third industrial revolution and when fully applied, allows for the creation of smart factories, and enables digital manufacturing. So far, the milestones of this revolution are large scale digitalization, the emergence of IoT networks, machine learning, AI, Big Data and Cloud Computing technologies, Industrial automation, and advanced robotics.
