Industry 4.0 is also called the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution gave us the assembly line, which the second one powered. The third gave us digitalization and automation of production methods, which Industry 4.0 now adds on.

Industry 4.0 is a new generation of industry that integrates the digital world and the physical production. It is the idea that intelligent, interconnected production and service networks can self-manage elements across industrial value chains. 

In Denmark, Industry 4.0 has received much attention, primarily focusing on the growth and competitive advantages that the new industrial generation can offer. Growth and competitive advantages that can benefit companies in Region Zealand, which Knowledge Hub Zealand supports through project partnerships.
