According to a World Economic Forum (WEF) study, people still do 71% of all work around the globe. This number
is falling fairly quickly though, and the WEF predicts that the balance will shift by 2025 with machines performing more
work tasks than people. This transformation will be brought about by the digitalization of industrial production known as
Industry 4.0. “In practical terms, this involves installing small computers in machines and systems and their components,
which are linked up via internet technologies,” automation expert Olaf Sauer from the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics,
Systems Engineering and Image Evaluation explains. These computers will take on the workload now being done by
humans, controlling machines and systems. What’s more, people will also work in tandem with machines in some areas.
This is already taking place at WS System, a component installer in Lower Saxony, where employees wear data goggles
that allow a computer to monitor and increase the accuracy and speed of the manufacturing process. The applications
run the gamut from 3D printers, autonomous transport robots and intelligent energy grids to cyber-physical production,
individualized manufacturing and automated maintenance. A Bitkom study found that almost half of all the industrial
firms in Germany were already using Industry 4.0 applications in 2016, and just under 20% were planning to integrate
them into production.
Olaf Sauer predicts Industry 4.0 will generate great opportunities for German industry. “If we enrich German
expertise and experience in mechanical engineering with information technology, we will be able to maintain or even
expand our global competitive position.” He cites IT security and the next generation of employees as major challenges.
For networked companies, adequately protecting sensitive data and industrial secrets is particularly critical. According to
Sauer, it is also important to get more young people interested in careers involving technology. Industry 4.0 needs a
constant influx of graduates from STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) with the skills to train
and feed algorithms to robots. According to Reiner Hoffmann, Chairman of the German Confederation of Trade Unions
(DGB), as Industry 4.0 develops, it is particularly important not to lose sight of one thing in particular: robots should work
for, not instead of, people. Industry 4.0 will “only be accepted and tolerated by people, whether employees or
consumers, if technology serves them and not the other way round,” he recently told the “Welt” newspaper.
