Removed sections[edit]

I have removed the following uninformative/empty sections and their meta-comments which are out of place in an encyclopedia article. Articles should not contain random jottings and notes. Do not add a section unless it provides the reader with useful, referenced content.

Current Status of Industry 4.0

[Coming soon]


Voceditenore (talk) 13:39, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is the name of this page?[edit]

The name of this as usually seen is Industrie 4.0, which would be the name in German. Is it really necessary to rename this to Industry 4.0 in English? I see that it's called Industrie 4.0 later on in the text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlhollin (talkcontribs) 16:16, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The whole subject should be moved to a new page called 'Smart Manufacturing'. Industry 4.0 is only a translation of the generic German term Industrie 4.0 which rather refers to a national political strategy than the technology itself which is actually meant in the article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Frei1burger (talkcontribs) 19:55, 2 Januray 2015 (CET)

There is a difference between "Smart manufacturing" and "Industrie 4.0". - "Industrie 4.0" describes the German initiative related to introduction of IoT into industry. This is actually described in the section "Name". - There are some other international initiatives (Austria, Italy, Australia), which have adopted the name. Internationally (globally) the technology development is called "Smart manufacturing", the German name often is used to explicitely reference the German initiative, which contributes to the international development. I vote for moving this page to "Industrie 4.0", focus on the German initiative, and for moving the general content to the existing page smart manufacturing. Thadlich (talk) 12:13, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Having said that, I also vote for removing references to specific manufacturers from the page. E.g. Meggitt PLC. Thadlich (talk) 12:46, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that "Industry 4.0" (with a y) is now an accepted and used term in English. The current name should remain, and I also note most descriptions do not refer to the specific German political strategy. Foxdown (talk) 13:53, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here in North America "Industry 4.0" has gained traction as the overarching name for "digitization of manufacturing" in the manufacturing sector and government sectors of the economy. I vote to keep it. Mkevlar TheKevlar 12:28, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Most people just call this the fourth industrial revolution, we should probably go with that. People would find the page when they googled it.

Requested move 22 June 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: page moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 17:41, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Industry 4.0Fourth Industrial Revolution – Most people refer to this article as the Fourth Industrial Revolution now. Industry 4.0 is the German strategy. If we changed the title then people will be able to find the fourth industrial revolution and learn how our world is being completely transformed around us. 3DNewEra (talk) 21:42, 22 June 2020 (UTC) Relisting. (t · c) buidhe 05:37, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Changes to lead intro + integrating the German section further + predatory journal[edit]

I think I have redone the lead intro + tried to lessen the Germany emphasis of this article to remove the multiple issues. If you don't think so, please do add them back on! Further work is always needed.

When publishing, the wiki filter outlines there is a predatory journal, but I can't find the article that is causing this! If anyone can find this that would be grand! Jamzze (talk) 22:37, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing that what is being flagged is ResearchGate. Please see: WP:RSP for the entry on it: "ResearchGate is a social network that hosts a repository of user-generated publications, including preprints. ResearchGate does not perform fact checking or peer reviewing, and is considered a self-published source. Verify whether a paper on ResearchGate is also published in a peer-reviewed academic journal; in these cases, cite the more reliable journal and provide an open access link to the paper (which may be hosted on ResearchGate).

Criticism section?[edit]

The "fourth industrial revolution" reads off like a series of buzzwords and modest improvements in internet related technology. If you remove all the screens from any modern apartment, it would look virtually the same today as it did 50 years ago. Calling this a "revolution" based on the words of some intelegencia in Davos seems absurd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.156.229.134 (talk) 00:13, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Power and human rights[edit]

With high electricity prices and probably child labor lithium-ion batteries, perhaps human exploitation Chinese factories this would not be very social? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.195.1.209 (talk) 21:31, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, reference 11 is dead. "It was excluded from the way back machine." (I'm new at this and couldn't find a replacement source)
