In October 2012, the Working Group on Industry 4.0 presented a set of Industry 4.0 implementation recommendations to the German federal government. Renowned German professor Wolfgang Wahlster is sometimes called the inventor of the ' Industry 4.0' term. The term 'Industrie 4.0' was publicly introduced in the same year at the Hannover Fair. The term 'Industrie 4.0', shortened to I4.0 or simply I4, originated in 2011 from a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing. The next significant development in communication technologies was the supercomputer, with extensive use of computer and communication technologies in the production process machinery began to abrogate the need for human power. The production of the Z1 computer, which used binary floating-point numbers and Boolean logic, a decade later, was the beginning of more advanced digital developments. The Third Industrial Revolution, also known as the Digital Revolution, occurred in the late 20th century, after the end of the two world wars, resulting from a slowdown of industrialization and technological advancement compared to previous periods. In The Great Reset proposal by the WEF, The Fourth Industrial Revolution is included as a Strategic Intelligence in the solution to rebuild the economy sustainably following the COVID-19 pandemic. Schwab expects this era to be marked by breakthroughs in emerging technologies in fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computing, biotechnology, the internet of things, the industrial internet of things, decentralized consensus, fifth-generation wireless technologies, 3D printing, and fully autonomous vehicles. Schwab includes in this fourth era technologies that combine hardware, software, and biology ( cyber-physical systems), and emphasizes advances in communication and connectivity. This was also subject and title of Schwab's 2016 book. On October 10, 2016, the Forum announced the opening of its Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in San Francisco. 'Mastering the Fourth Industrial Revolution' was the 2016 theme of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland. Klaus Schwab, executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), introduced the phrase to a wider audience in a 2015 article published by Foreign Affairs. The phrase Fourth Industrial Revolution was first introduced by a team of scientists developing a high-tech strategy for the German government. 6.5 Accelerated transition to the knowledge economy.
