National industry adopts advanced industrial technology aiming for global protagonism. Industry 4.0 is already a reality with data collected in real time, according to a survey by IMARC.
Industry 4.0 is increasingly becoming a reality on the global industrial scene, promoting significant changes and investing in innovative technologies. In recent years, factories have been driven to modernize their processes, integrating automation systems and real-time data collection. In Brazil, this movement seeks to strengthen the sector to compete on an equal footing with international powers.
Driven by the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 brings unprecedented opportunities for digital manufacturing. Furthermore, the adoption of advanced industrial technology allows companies to improve efficiency and significantly reduce operating costs. It is a new paradigm, where connectivity and automation are key pieces to boost productivity and guarantee the future of the national industry.
The Evolution of Industry 4.0 in the Early 2000s
At the turn of the 2000s, several significant changes occurred: the population's purchasing power increased considerably, technology, which until then had been stagnant, began to advance in two or three years what previously took a decade. Furthermore, the product catalog has expanded extensively. With these transformations, it became essential to establish real connections between production processes and technology, a concept that would come to be known as Industry 4.0.

Technology and Automation Transform the Industry
Currently, data collection through the Internet of Things (IoT), the use of Artificial Intelligence to develop automation flows and the analysis of information in real time have transported the industrial sector to a much more dynamic environment. Industry 4.0 is already a reality in several factories around the world. According to one survey by International Market Analysis Research and Consulting (IMARC), between 2023 and 2028, the annual growth rate of technological solutions is projected to reach 21%, surpassing the 18,8% annual growth observed between 2017 and 2022.
Benefits of Industry 4.0 in Production Processes
For Marcelo Lonzetti, Director of ztrax and specialist in RTLS technology, the great advantage of real-time monitoring is the amount of data collected, allowing managers to evaluate each phase of the production process, identify patterns and adjust their production strategies. According to Lonzetti, 'working with this information in real time allows companies to use all inputs in the best possible way and increase productivity'. Every aspect can be controlled, from dock efficiency to component location.
Homeland Security and Advanced Technology
Another crucial point that justifies the rapid adoption of advanced industrial technology in sectors such as steel plants is the increase in internal security. Areas for unloading materials, coil cooling sectors and other internal segments can be considered danger zones for employees. The RTLS system has the ability to create geofence alerts for these critical details. 'The traceability of materials and equipment is what most attracts steelmakers, without a doubt. However, the system can also be used to control the movement of forklifts and even create restricted access, considerably increasing internal security', concludes Lonzetti.
The Future of Industry 4.0 in Archaic Operations
With the rise of Industry 4.0, archaic operations are increasingly obsolete. The implementation of digital manufacturing systems and other advanced industrial technology tools enable the transition to more efficient and safer methods. Adapting these new technologies can represent a huge leap in operational efficiency while reducing the risks associated with hazardous areas in factories. The survey by International Market Analysis Research and Consulting suggests that the growing trend in the adoption of these technologies is just the beginning of a profound transformation in the industrial sector.
Over the next few years, there is a significant expectation of an increase in volume of data collected. With this, the need for advanced industrial technology and the prevalence of the fourth industrial revolution become even more evident, shaping the future of global industry in ways never before seen.
