The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, continues to gain momentum, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.36% between 2024 and 2027.[1]

And the results clearly show why: Companies that successfully adopt Industry 4.0 principles are reaping significant rewards, including a 15-30% increase in labor productivity, a 30-50% reduction in downtime and an 85% improvement in forecasting accuracy.[2]
