Harns delivered the pioneering Industry 4.0 implementation at the Times of India print units. Print is an unforgiving place to learn: the presses run to a deadline that does not move, and a system that gets in the way is switched off by the people it was meant to help. Everything on this page is shaped by that.


The sensors are installed, the data is collected, and it is stored somewhere respectable. What is missing is the loop back into a decision. Data nobody acts on is a cost, and it is the usual outcome of a programme scoped around technology rather than around a judgement somebody makes every shift.
The hard part is rarely the sensor. It is that the equipment talks one protocol, the business system expects another, and the two have never been made to agree on what a batch or a shift even is. That translation layer is most of the work in any honest Industry 4.0 project.


Pick the decision that is made often, made from poor information, and has a consequence you can measure: unplanned downtime, scrap, a changeover that always overruns. Close that one loop, prove it, then repeat. A plant that has closed five loops this way is doing smart manufacturing whatever the roadmap calls it.
According to a Forbes article, "The Fundamentals and Impact of Industry 4.0," Industry 4.0 led to

downtime reduction
35%-40%
quality improvement
15%-20%
production improvement
15%-20%
an overall productivity improvement
