Industry as a whole is on the brink of massive upheaval shaped by ever-increasing net-
working and the Internet. This development is so serious and game-changing that many
experts are talking about a 4th industrial revolution or “Industry 4.0”. On the following
pages, we want to share our vision of the factory 2020 with you.
4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0
4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 · 4.0 = SEW-EURODRIVE

This approach promises to lead to completely
new production methods and processes. What’s
new about this approach is that it is not just ma-
chines and integrated systems that will commu-
nicate with one another. As part of Industry 4.0,
all systems will be intelligently networked and
will also exchange real-time information with the
products to be manufactured. Machines will be
able to think for themselves and will detect when
specific materials need to be replenished. They
will then autonomously report this demand to oth-
er systems that will automatically trigger order
placement.
The principle of increased intelligent network-
ing delivers significant savings in costs, time and
efficiency for companies that adopt a consistent
approach. It is estimated that a savings of approx-
imately 30 percent compared to conventional pro-
duction methods can be achieved.
