In the 1969, the introduction of automation and robotics ushered a new era, the Industry 3.0. Electronics and IT such as internet, mobile, computers, cloud and big data merged into a digital era of the information age.
The 4th industrial revolution began in Germany in the beginning of the 21th century with the fusion of digital-, physical- and virtual world, also called the cyber-physical system.
