It has been 12 years since the term Industry 4.0 was introduced. This was at the Hannover Messe<\/a> in 2011, when Professor Wolfgang Wahlster, director and CEO of the German artificial intelligence research center, addressed the audience at the opening ceremony. He urged companies to be ready for the next industrial revolution. When we look – now 12 years later – at where we are, it is still sad for most companies. In this blog, we look at the current situation and name 10 steps that will help in digital transformation.<\/strong><\/p>\n Back in the early 2000s, the German government recognized that a new approach within the industry was needed to remain competitive in the global marketplace. In 2013, the German government launched a program called “Industry 4.0,” which aimed to promote the digitization of production processes and the integration of new technologies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Industry 4.0 is often mentioned in the same breath as robotization, digital transformation, Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence. Many of these concepts are still far removed from the daily reality of an average company. Even if the terms are understood, their application is often far from it.<\/p>\n As mentioned, we are now a decade into our journey and the question is what is the status of Industry 4.0. Indeed, some articles still state that we are at the beginning of this revolution. And that is still the case for the vast majority of companies. Over the past decade, there has been a lot of talk about Industry 4.0, but few have taken steps that can be characterized as a “revolution. They are often small steps such as implementing certain software tools or sub-optimizing processes.<\/p>\n An industry revolution is characterized by an upheaval initiated by a technical innovation accompanied by large-scale organizational and social changes. According to this definition, this is not the case when a new machine is purchased or a single software tool is installed. It’s really about a completely different way of producing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By the way, not only in the Netherlands but throughout Europe we are far behind developments in America and Asia. Only 5% of European companies can be classified as Digital Champions<\/a> (PWC, 2018). Over a third of Asian companies and a quarter of U.S. companies have plans to develop mature digital ecosystems, compared with only 15% in Europe. We all know the big digital platforms in America such as Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Apple, Meta and Amazon, and the biggest digital players in Asia such as Alibaba, Tencent, TSMC, Mitsubishi, Canon and Nintendo. The Forbes top 100<\/a> digital companies include only 16 European companies, with the Netherlands represented by Philips, ASML and NXP.<\/p>\n In addition to these tech giants, inspiring examples can also be found within normal companies. Consider 247TailorSteel<\/a>, which will build its sixth plant of the future this year, or a chemical company in Rotterdam where the production volume of chlor-alkali is automatically adjusted according to the availability of green energy. Consider also Jungheinrich building a fully automated logistics center for the Dutch company Prodrive Technologies<\/a>, or a water treatment plant that can run completely unmanned outside business hours. An example of product innovation is the company Deron<\/a> in Gendt, Gelderland, which developed a Smart mattress for healthcare that incorporates sensors that transmit information about patients’ sleep status and minimizes false alarms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The thesis is that every organization must work on product innovation and digital transformation to ensure that the organization is future-proof. If an organization does not pay enough attention to this, at some point a party will emerge that will dominate the market. Think about what happened with the DVD or booking offices for vacations. The following are 10 steps to guide digital transformation. It is not the intention to initiate all the steps at the same time, but it is important to put some of them on the strategic agenda.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Sectie 10 stappen” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f5f5ff” min_height=”1164.3px” custom_margin=”1244px|||||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ admin_label=”digital strategy, competence, standardization” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”44px|||||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.symbol.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/icon_digitale_strategie.png” alt=”digital strategy” title_text=”icon_digital_strategy” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”96px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”4827deed-2a92-4d97-a22f-f01067ae6873″ header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Inter|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font_size=”19px” header_4_line_height=”1.6em” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” header_4_font_size_tablet=”16px” header_4_font_size_phone=”14px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”4c43b4b6-66bf-432d-959a-705bda24a650″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Develop a roadmap to make products and services increasingly digital, or offer them online (globally).
