What is behind the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that actually helps industrial organizations drive profitability? It’s a combination of hardware digitization, software and analytics. This capability is a major boon to industry as it brings efficiency and productivity gain potentials to new levels.
As Industry 4.0 gives way to 5.0—and even early ideas of 6.0—control panels are becoming more intelligent, more connected, and far more adaptable. Industry 4.0 introduced digitalization and connectivity to manufacturing. It brought us smart factories where machines talk to each other, collect real-time data, and make automated decisions. Industry 5.0 builds on that by putting people back in the center—combining human creativity with advanced robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to create more personalized, sustainable production. Industry 6.0, though still conceptual, looks even further ahead. It imagines a future of hyper-personalized manufacturing where machines not only collaborate with humans but evolve in real time—driven by AI, seamless human-machine integration, and the potential of quantum computing.
