Industry Growth Centres Industry 4.0 is the name used for the emerging ’fourth industrial revolution’ and refers to the digitalisation of manufacturing industry technologies and processes. While Industry 3.0 focused on the performance of single machines and processes, Industry 4.0 is concerned with integration across the entire production value chain.
Australian Government - Department of Industry, Science Energy & Resources The government-funded Growth Centres are driving innovation, productivity and competitiveness in 6 key growth industry sectors.
Deloitte - The Smart Factory: Responsive, adaptive,connected manufacturing The smart factory represents a leap forward from more traditional automation to a fully connected and flexible system—one that can use a constant stream of data from connected operations and production systems to learn and adapt to new demands.
Interesting Engineering - Industry 4.0: The Ways in Which Technology is Transforming Industry Innovations in the applications of cutting-edge tech are revolutionizing manufacturing to the extent that it is now known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Advances in High-Performance Motion Control of Mechatronic Systems by Takashi Yamaguchi (Editor); Mitsuo Hirata (Editor); Chee Khiang Pang (Editor) Mechatronic systems are used in a range of consumer products from large-scale braking systems in vehicular agents to small-scale integrated sensors in mobile phones. To keep pace in the competitive consumer electronics industry, companies need to continuously improve servo evaluation and position control of these mechatronic systems.
