Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 relays on the integration of intelligent digital technologies into manufacturing and industrial processes. 

Industry 4.0 comprises a set of technologies that include industrial IoT networks, AI, Big Data, robotics, and automation. In this arena, photonics technologies enable diverse applications with optical sensors measuring parameters in manufacturing, lasers performing metrology or mass production tasks, and fiber optic networks providing high-speed data transmission. This contributes to increased manufacturing efficiency, product quality, cost reduction, product traceability down to the raw components and improved safety.
