1. Industrial Engineering and Industrial Revolution: An Introduction:

Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering management concerned with how to make or do things better, crossing a range of disciplines associated with manufacturing industrial or consumer products. This may involve increasing efficiency, reducing production costs, improving quality control, ensuring the health and safety of employees, protecting the environment or complying with government regulations.

Industrial engineers work to reduce any waste of time, money, materials, energy or other commodities by streamlining procedures and processes. This is achieved through the application of specialist knowledge and skills to specify, predict and evaluate results from processes and systems. The results of this allow for new processes and systems to be produced, with business administration activities overlapping with areas such as production and manufacturing engineering, operations research, systems and supply chain engineering, management science and engineering, safety engineering, ergonomic and logistics engineering and more.

2. Why Industrial Engineering is most sought after profession?

Industrial engineering is important to both producers and end-users of a product. Industrial engineers improve processes and designs to make things more efficient. This is good for business as it saves time and money, raw resources, energy and manpower. However, industrial engineering is not all about profit margins as it also ensures the safety and quality of a product or process, which is good for both employees and end users.

Analysing, designing, predicting and evaluating processes helps remove roadblocks and creates higher quality and more efficient processes and devices. An industrial engineer will not only have made sure the device you are reading this on was made in the most cost-effective manner (making it cheaper for you to buy), but also makes sure that it is safe and won’t just burst into flames while you are using it!

3. What does an Industrial Engineer do?

Industrial engineers work across all stages of production and processing. This may involve designing a product or process from the beginning or adapting and upgrading, expanding or reconfiguring an existing process or procedure.

This may involve designing new equipment and writing specifications for equipment bought from an outside vendor to ensure it meets those requirements. An industrial engineer may be required to repurpose existing equipment or facilities, design new processes or tools and procedures.

To achieve these tasks, industrial engineers need a basic working knowledge of various areas of engineering, work processes, tools, equipment and materials in order to design systems and processes that meet cost, quality, safety and environmental requirements.

Industrial engineers may use computer aided design (CAD) systems to help design equipment or facilities and computer modelling to simulate processes and supply chains to improve efficiencies and reduce costs.

Industrial engineers are involved in activities including production and operations planning, production and operations management, materials handling, and logistics and operations.

4. Where do Industrial Engineers Work?

Industrial engineers work in a range of different environments, from offices to the settings they are tasked with improving. This could include watching how a process works in a factory or examining workflows in a hospital. This data can then be taken and examined using a computer for solving problems.

The wide range of skills used by industrial engineers means they can work in both managerial and technical positions. They can be found in a variety of employment settings, including consulting and engineering, research and development, service industries, logistics, manufacturing and trade.

5. Opportunities in industrial Engineering and Growth 

There are a wide range of opportunities in industrial engineering and it was projected to grow by 10% between 2019 and 2029, which is much faster than many other occupations.

Improving efficiencies and reducing costs continues to be an important focus for many industries, meaning that industrial engineers will continue to be in demand.

7. What is Industry 4.0?

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is a term coined in 2016 by Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF). It is characterized by the convergence and complementarity of emerging technology domains, including nanotechnology, biotechnology, new materials and advanced digital production (ADP) technologies. The latter includes 3D printing, human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and artificial intelligence, and is already transforming the global industrial landscape.1 Incorporating ADP technologies into industrial production processes has given rise to the concept of Industry 4.0, also known as the Smart Factory – one that learns as it works, continuously adapting and optimizing its own processes accordingly.

8. Areas of Application of IE & 4IR 

The implications of 4IR are nuanced and difficult to disentangle. For example, automation is often seen as an opportunity to reduce the gender gap in employment, however, studies suggest that this is dependent on disrupting the long-established gender divide in terms of, inter alia, STEM education, digital access and family responsibilities.

There is also the potential for ADP technologies to support environmental sustainability through the more efficient use of energy and materials, thereby emitting less carbon and reducing particulate pollution. 

But the extent of this potential is a matter for discussion, and the realization of this promise is yet to be proven.

The impact of 4IR on global value chains (GVCs) is another interesting route of inquiry. On the one hand, the 4IR’s innovations can improve trade logistics and lower transaction costs, making it cheaper and easier to ‘offshore’ certain aspects of production.

Conversely, ADP technologies enable increased productivity and capacity utilization at home, undermining the advantages of large-scale production formerly associated with fragmented GVCs. This is already leading to a small but increasing shift towards the ‘backshoring’ of production tasks.

4IR represents a technological paradigm shift with uncertain consequences in many spheres of life. The opportunities for greater productivity, sustainability, social inclusion and prosperity are compelling, but are contingent on an enabling industrial ecosystem and a supportive policy regime.

9. Relationship between Industrial Engineering and Industrial Revolution 4.0

Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the way companies manufacture, improve and distribute their products. Manufacturers are integrating new technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and analytics, and AI and machine learning into their production facilities and throughout their operations.

These smart factories are equipped with advanced sensors, embedded software and robotics that collect and analyze data and allow for better decision making. Even higher value is created when data from production operations is combined with operational data from ERP, supply chain, customer service and other enterprise systems to create whole new levels of visibility and insight from previously siloed information.

This digital technologies lead to increased automation, predictive maintenance, self-optimization of process improvements and, above all, a new level of efficiencies and responsiveness to customers not previously possible.

Developing smart factories provides an incredible opportunity for the manufacturing industry to enter the fourth industrial revolution. Analyzing the large amounts of big data collected from sensors on the factory floor ensures real-time visibility of manufacturing assets and can provide tools for performing predictive maintenance in order to minimize equipment downtime. 

Using high-tech IoT devices in smart factories leads to higher productivity and improved quality. Replacing manual inspection business models with AI-powered visual insights reduces manufacturing errors and saves money and time. With minimal investment, quality control personnel can set up a smartphone connected to the cloud to monitor manufacturing processes from virtually anywhere. By applying machine learning algorithms, manufacturers can detect errors immediately, rather than at later stages when repair work is more expensive.  

Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies can be applied across all types of industrial companies, including discrete and process manufacturing, as well as oil and gas, mining and other industrial segments. 

10. Important Skills for Students for Industry 4.0

The first industrial revolution focused on mechanization through water and steam power, whereas the mass production and assembly lines using electricity as a source of energy was used in the second industrial revolution. The third industrial revolution came with electronics, I.T. systems, and with development of automation. This, in essence, led to the fourth industrial revolution which primarily focussed on cyber physical systems. 

The fourth industrial revolution was elemental in taking the transformations of the third industrial revolution further by adopting advancements in computers and automation and enhancing it with smart and autonomous systems supported by data and machine learning. 

11. Differences in Industry 4.0 vs Industry 3.0
