III. THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Industry 4.0 appeared for the first time in 2011, thanks to a
German effort. The term 'Industry 4.0' evokes a fourth industrial
revolution and brings together a set of technologies and concepts
related to the reorganization of the value chain [10]. Thus, the
Industry 4.0 vision is based on real-time communication to
monitor and act on physical systems. Systems communicate and
cooperate with each other, and also communicate with humans
to decentralize decision-making. Industry 4.0 therefore focuses
on connectivity, promoting the development of new processes,
products and services.
