David Ryan Customer Experience Manager, Automation and Energy Industry 4.0 and Beyond | ADI 3 Industry 4.0 and Beyond Industry 4.0 promises exponential improvements in productivity, flexibility, and safety by harnessing big advances in edge-to-cloud computing, analytics, software configurable systems, and more. The benefits are clear, but how do you get there? Where do you invest today, and how do you future-proof for what is ahead? How do you make the best decision for one business model vs. another? The key to unlocking the potential of Industry 4.0 is to deploy flexible, scalable, and future-proof solutions that can help navigate the transition in technologies and, for example, help accommodate customers across a wide spectrum of brownfield and greenfield readiness. If the global pandemic has taught us anything, it is that the future is uncertain—the only constant is change—and the key to navigating the journey is to adopt inherently flexible systems. At Analog Devices (ADI), we take pride in bridging the physical and digital worlds—not only sensing and measuring the physical world and creating the data, but also communicating the data. We assist customers in synthesizing this data into insights, all with the robustness, and the security you would expect and demand for an industrial application. As we expand the span of that bridge, we are even mindful of ensuring solutions are easier to use and faster to deploy than ever before. In this eBook, ADI technical experts will share their expertise and guide you through some of the considerations that might be key to the next step on your Industry 4.0 journey. Spanning robust measurement, asset health monitoring, robotics, and motion control to the connectivity solutions that tie it all together, you can trust ADI's system solutions and the support of our system experts to help you navigate the transition. "THE ONLY THING THAT IS ULTIMATELY REAL ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY IS THE STEP THAT YOU ARE TAKING AT THIS MOMENT. THAT'S ALL THERE EVER IS." — Alan Watts Foreword
