6. TRENDS 2020
5G: It is a new global wireless
standard. It speeds up the
data connection; intensifing
the cloud, all devices will
depend less on the internal
memory, it is able to perform
remote action in real time,
and give manufacturing the
freedom to move operations
quickly from one location to
another, without being
anchored by slow
connectivity and time
consuming
Al and machine learning
implementation: AI
algorithms and platform will
enable machines to perform
these complex tasks at much
faster speeds than humans,
reducing errors. Collecting
data and historical
information about a
machine’s performance to
ensure repairs or
replacements occur at the
right time.

7. TRENDS 2020
BLOCKCHAIN: It is a
technology that helps store
and record all sensitive data
and transactions in a new
safe network in which it is
almost impossible to falsify
documents.
The enterprise is exploring
ways to utilize blockchain
technologies in everything
from finance to
manufacturing.
CLOUD: it incorporates
servers accessible by a
simple click because they are
stored in a remote location
on a network and the
software and databases that
run on those servers. It is
cheap, can be used by
everyone
IoT: new IoT applications will be instrumental for
collecting, monitoring, measuring critical production
data and use cloud software to turn this data into
valuable insights about the efficiency of the
manufacturing operations.
