On April 22, 2018, at the Hanover Fair in Germany, Kuka showcased several robots in a 'smart factory,' highlighting new developments in artificial intelligence. The evolution of computing power has led to smarter devices, from smartphones to airport kiosks and digitally-connected traffic lights, all driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) for better living.
Industry 4.0, as defined by McKinsey, marks the digitization of the manufacturing sector through data, connectivity, analytics, human-machine interaction, and robotics. NTT Data and Schneider Electric have collaborated on a data fusion initiative to empower Industry 4.0 devices with edge computing, private 5G, IoT, and modular datacenters to support generative AI applications at the edge.
