Africa – Latin America, to a reasonable Fourth Industrial Revolution?
Africans visionaries to Latin Americans and Chinese visionaries.
Throughout the last two centuries, the story of globalization has been a Western story.
Now there is a new story about globalization, one that links pre-Western globalization ― the Silk Road ― to a vision of future globalization where the West is at best an outcrop, far from the center.
Beijing is marketing BRI in Africa as a ”win-win development.
Various countries launched initiatives and are contributing to the body of knowledge, from FIR originating in Germany, the Made in China 2025 initiative from China, or current form Thaliand 4.0 or South Africa’s own government and private sectors seeking solutions to implement it locally.
But what American country could match better with Africa towards rotate a bit the world towards a South-South Trade increase?
Would you like rotate your African city or town with some interesting Patent, Project, or Idea about reasonable tech 4.0 projects with China or Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Cuba, Venezuela…)?
Which country give you more confidence?
Do you imagine all the new kind of Jobs will emerge with Reasonable Tech in Industry 4.0 and specially in Additive manufacturing, AI, and IoT-IIoT?
Do you have any ideas about relationing Shipping business with IoT and IIoT via cybernetics System?
Take in account that Fourth Industrial Revolution is not only about new Laser Tech, Robots, or 3D Printing, Consumers will expect fruit and vegetables 4.0 via cyberenetics systems, to be continuously available, regardless of their location or where the product originates from; logistics 4.0 applications, therefore, still have ample room for growth in the industry as the global online sales in 2017 grew by 6% in the sector, compared to a 23% overall growth.
Everybody is in FIR “my most memorable one was where we had a private closed-doors session talking about the new scramble for Africa 4.0 and we had Winnie Byanyima in there, she’s a director of Oxfam International”.Jack Ma, chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. told
The African Leadership University (ALU), in partnership with General Electric (GE), has introduced what is claimed to be the first of its kind post-graduate programme in industrial Internet.
According to ALU, the Africa Industrial Internet Programme (AIIP) aims to upskill recent graduates and working professionals within the fields of power, oil and gas, transportation, and manufacturing to prepare them for the impact of Industry 4.0 - also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Around the world, the economic, political and technological drivers for Industry 4.0 adoption vary considerably. In countries like Germany and the UK, Fourth Industrial Revolution is viewed as the route that will lead to the emergence of ‘smart industry’; where people, devices, objects, and systems combine to form dynamic, self-organizing networks of production – made possible by technological advances which constitute a reversal of conventional production process logic.
For the US, the emphasis is more on the role of big data in effecting collaboration, and Industry 4.0 has become synonymous with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Meanwhile in China, where labour and materials costs are rapidly increasing, digitalization is being championed as a means to transform outdated production methods
But in any case: In the cold, harsh light of the dawn of FIR, there are many reasons why the factories of the future are not much more than a very futuristic vision. The changes fueled by the digitization of manufacturing are hard and manufacturers have a lot to wrestle w
The harder questions around how manufacturers can harness all this innovation for sustained advantage seem to be lost in the noise.
Manufacturing Indaba 2018 to focus on Industry 4.0 in Africa
The Manufacturing Indaba 2018 will be hosted at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, Africa’s economic hub, on the 19th and 20th of June 2018.
This year’s event will explore Industry 4.0, otherwise known as the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Fourth Industrial Revolution, together with IoT (Internet of Things), are fundamental to digital transformation in the manufacturing industry. Industry 4.0 represents a breakthrough in manufacturing innovations, transforming product creation and company operations. Due to inadequate accessibility and connectivity, the African continent is unable to embrace Fourth Industrial Revolution at a rate equivalent to that of the developed world. However, emerging markets are unrestrained by infrastructure legacy issues and are more versatile in dealing with change than their developed counterparts. This poses a considerable advantage for developing Sub-Saharan African countries to adopt a more receptive outlook towards Industry 4.0.
