4. Nowadays we speak more about revolutions and less about waves, but...
Waves 1 and 2 generated Revolution 1.0
Waves 3 and 4 generated Revolution 2.0
Wave 5 is practically the Revolution 3.0

5. How were the 3 previous revolutions ?
Revolution Textil Industry was the focus but needed steam engines which depended on the steel industry, foundry, machining and the new energy source: coal.
Revolution Oil and electricity arise and there was a revolution in the way of manufacturing increasing the productivity of items like automobile and steel.
Revolution Microprocessors emerged and PCs are spreading. ERPs and robotization appear. Drive : Moore's Law - The processing capacity doubles every 2 years.

7. Is the 4.0 basically a continuation of 3.0 ?
No . Because the 4.0 is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical , digital and biological spheres.

8. The 4.0 is an enormous evolution of 3.0
The possibilities of billions of people connected by mobile devices , with unprecedent processing power , storage capacity and access to knowledge are unlimited.

9. What is the main modification inside companies regarding management ?
It allows companies to connect machines, systems and other assets that gives them the ability to create intelligent networks along the entire value chain, controlling production modules autonomously.

10. What would happen to the factories ?
They will have the capacity and autonomy to schedule maintenance, forecast process failures, and adapt to unplanned production requirements and changes.

11. The fundamental technologies of 4.0
1. I.o.T- Internet of Things
2. Robots
3. 3D Printers
4. Artificial Intelligence
5. Big Data
6. Nanotechnology
7. Biotechnology and Genetics
8. Energy Storage
