A conversation with Denis Lapoire, VP for Training and Research at Aquitaine Robotics, after visiting the <\/em>Usine Extraordinaire<\/em> (<\/em>\u2018Extraordinary Factory\u2019) event.<\/em><\/p>\n Industry 4.0 is all about streamlining the manufacturing\/production process and the supply chain by incorporating new technologies such as sensors, IoT, informatics, digital, AI, connectivity, 3D printing, robotics and others. Industry 4.0 is obviously highly technological, with an aim of efficiency, and humans may or may not be physically present in the process. It involves practical execution of manufacturing. Optimization does not only mean improved productivity, of course. By focusing on humans, Industry 4.0 above all helps to eliminate overly strenuous or mind-numbing work.<\/p>\n The \u201cExtraordinary Factory\u201d offers a broader vision with 5 key focuses on:<\/p>\n It is rooted in an ecosystem that encompasses Industry 4.0 while emphasizing the values of invention, sharing, respect for the finite natural world and people\u2019s lifestyles. The entire ecosystem is involved in the transformation process. Thus, Industry \u2013 in addition to transforming \u2013 will help to redefine our lifestyles. Pierre Antoine Chardel of LASCO, the Laboratory for Meaning and Understanding of the Modern World (LAboratoire Sens et COmpr\u00e9hension du monde contemporain<\/em>) underscores the fact that \u201cevery technology helps to shape the way we live and our relationships with others<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Denis and I then imagined the key components of the Extraordinary Factory, beyond those of Industry 4.0.<\/p>\n An Extraordinary Factory would be designed, renovated and extended to include 5 major spaces:<\/p>\n 1. The fundamentals of Industry 4.0, of course, as well as<\/p>\n 2. A guided tour, for the general public and school groups, that looks into the factory while it is running<\/strong>, so that these audiences can learn about the industrial process, its jobs, its challenges and ways to co-build new, more sustainable lifestyles. Toyota\u2019s Nagoya factory includes a \u201cToyota Kaikan\u201d<\/a> exhibition, available in 3D on its website, and offers factory tours by simple request.<\/p>\n 3. A Fab Lab<\/strong>, so that we are not only consumers, but also skilled users, of new technologies.<\/p>\n 4. A training center <\/strong>combining scholars and professionals, to help support the transformation of various professions, through classroom and digital learning. Michelin\u2019s Hall 32<\/a> \u00a0is one of France\u2019s finest examples of such an initiative. 7-Shapes<\/a> already offers training programs, based on serious games, for industrial professions. In South Korea, DMBH<\/a> has created the KSS-1500<\/a> industrial robot that is fully programmable and can be disassembled, with the related online courses available in English.<\/p>\n 5. An industrial accelerator<\/strong> to enable the hardware innovations of French start-ups and SMEs to cross the innovation Valley of Death, from prototype to industrial production, while remaining in France. Here, the EFI Automotive group can testify to the ways that AXANDUS<\/a> has positively impacted innovation.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take an active interest in the methods and practices used by our industries. Let\u2019s invent and build an \u201cExtraordinary World\u201d that is both inclusive and responsible, transforming our industries and our professions, as well as our lifestyles and our relationships, thanks to Industry 4.0 technologies.<\/p>\n Photo credit :\u00a0https:\/\/www.usineextraordinaire.com\u00a0\/\u00a0Sebastien D’halloy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Industry 4.0 is all about streamlining the manufacturing\/production process and the supply chain by incorporating new technologies such as sensors, IoT, informatics, digital, AI, connectivity, 3D printing, robotics and others.
