From a business perspective, Industry 4.0 supports four
major tenets of operational execution:
• Interoperability
• Information Transparency
• Actionable Insights
• Automation

10. Summary
• http://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/manufacturing/canadian-manufacturing-
sector-falling-behind-in-digital-production-revolution-says-bdc-193876/
A new Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) study released today finds that 39 per cent of
Canadian manufacturing businesses have started to implement digital projects.
The study also found that, while only three per cent of manufacturing SMEs have fully digitized their
production, 17 per cent of manufacturing SMEs are preparing to do so.
The impact of this revolution promises to be remarkable and Canadian manufacturers have a lot of
work to do to catch up. The BDC study draws its conclusions from a recent Canada-wide survey of
960 Canadian SME entrepreneurs.
“Our study clearly demonstrates that it pays to embrace the digital shift. The Canadian
businesses that have been early adopters of digital technologies have increased their
productivity, reduced their costs and improved the quality of their products,” says Pierre
Cléroux, chief economist and vice-president of research at BDC.

11. IT / IBM

In every area of manufacturing – from product design to
aftermarket support – the application of IoT capabilities to both
imbue products with new functionality as well as report their
performance is changing the way that every line of business
associated with the product lifecycle perceives and performs their
responsibilities. As an example, Schaeffler is employing IBM
Watson IoT capabilities to transform every aspect of its business
from its supply chain, through to manufacturing, sales and after-
sales service.
