The Rise of Industry 4.0 in China’s CNC Machining Sector

The manufacturing industry has always evolved through waves of innovation, changing how people work and produce goods. In the 19 th century, the first industrial revolution was driven by steam power and brought continuous mechanical energy that replaced much of the manual labor of the time. The second introduced mass production, while the third saw robotics reshape factory floors. Now, we’re going through the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0, and at its heart is the Internet of Things (IoT), where machines, people, and processes connect through data. Information can be shared and applied instantly because of this real-time connectivity, making production faster and more efficient. For a China-based CNC machining parts manufacturer like us, Industry 4.0 translates into advanced systems that achieve high accuracy and adjust results in real time using live data. Smarter automation Even though automation drives Industry 4.0, its purpose isn’t to eliminate human inp...
