Information technology was applied with significant effect in business processes and during that phase of progress Business Process Reengineering (BPR) emerged as an important method. In manufacturing CNC, CAD-CAM, and CIM appeared. But the current development Internet of Things (IoT) seems to having a major impact on the manufacturing systems. It is getting the description of Industrial Revolution 4.0.
In Industrial engineering also, we can see IE 1.0 - Science of Man - Machine Systems (From Taylor to Taiichi Ohno), IE 2.0 - Low Inventory Manufacturing (Taiichi Ohno, Shigeo Shingo to Womack et al.) and IE 3.0 - Imaginative Use of New Technology by Understanding the Power of the Technology First (Michael Hammer, Thomas Davenport to current days).
Will IE 4.0 be driven by innovations by Industrial Engineers in the age of Digital Transformation of Manufacturing Processes?
Presently number of papers are being published by leading consultants to make digital transformation a big movement. Their references are being collected in this post

MTConnect® Institute Releases Version 1.5.0 of the MTConnect Standard.
MTConnect for linking computers to machines for collection of data through sensors
The MTConnect standard (ANSI/MTC1.4-2018) offers a semantic vocabulary for manufacturing equipment to provide structured, contextualized data with no proprietary format. With uniform data, developers and integrators can focus on useful, productive manufacturing applications rather than translation. Data sources include: machine tools; production equipment; sensors and sensor controllers, and other factory hardware. Applications that consume MTConnect data provide more efficient operations, improved production optimization, and increased productivity.Scalable system architectures depend on standards. MTConnect provides domain-specific vocabulary and data models, is extensible, and integrates with other standards by design.
MTConnect isused on more than 50,000 devices in over 50 countries. 11 years since first release.

March 2017By 2018, 60 percent of the large manufacturers will bring in new revenue from information based products and services.
By 2020, manufacturers will claim 20% more after market revenue by offering more services through information (IoT) based support.

This study, prepared by Policy Department A at the request of the ITRE committee, analyses the Industry 4.0 Initiative which encompasses the digitalisation of production processes based on devices autonomously communicating with each other along the value chain. It considers the potential of the initiative and business paradigm changes and impacts of this transformation. The study assesses the rationale for public intervention and outlines measures that could be adopted to increase the gains and limit the threats from Industry 4.0.

Digital Futures, Digital Transformation - From Lean Production to Acceluction
Authors: Bounfour, Ahmed
Copyright - 2016, Publisher: Springer International Publishing
This book provides an integrated overview of key trends in digital transformation, taking into consideration five interrelated dimensions: strategy and business models, society, organization, technology and regulation. As such, it provides a framework for the analysis of digital business transformation and its emerging factors, analyzing twenty-five key trends in terms of their future impact. On that basis, the book then delineates a new approach centered on the mutually accelerating links between multiple value creation spaces. It proposes a new mode of production – accelerated production of links (acceluction) – and analyzes it with respect to the still-dominant concept of lean production. Based on the results of the international CIGREF research program ISD, the book presents a valuable perspective of the expected impact of the abundance of networks and data as critical resources for enterprises beyond 2020.

Manufacturing’s next act
By Cornelius Baur and Dominik WeeIndustry 4.0 is more than just a flashy catchphrase. A confluence of trends and technologies promises to reshape the way things are made.
McKinsey
We define Industry 4.0 as the next phase in the digitization of the manufacturing sector, driven by four disruptions:
- the astonishing rise in data volumes, computational power, and connectivity, especially new low-power wide-area networks;
- the emergence of analytics and business-intelligence capabilities;
- new forms of human-machine interaction such as touch interfaces and augmented-reality systems; and
- improvements in transferring digital instructions to the physical world, such as advanced robotics and 3-D printing.
