End to End Support
executives said they feel ready for
I4.0, with many fewer successfully
implementing the technology.
These statistics point to an industry
taking the first steps in transitioning
to I4.0 as opposed to the “here and
now” message we often hear in the
press.
While it is very likely I4.0 will
empower businesses like never
before, there are steps processors
must take before we can say we’ve
reached the aspired position of being
a business empowered by I4.0.
The implementation of ubiquitous
sensors as a first step is already
underway and will continue until we
find ourselves discussing what’s
beyond 4.0. The next half-dozen
years in the food I4.0 space will
be characterised by the question
“what data should be collected?” As
answers become more advanced,
there will be a gradual increase in
focus on analysing the data to ever
greater precision and insight. Finding
a balance between what we can
track and what we will act on if we
track it is the difference between

overinvesting or not investing enough
to empower outcomes.
Finally, as with any business
management challenge, the
change will come down to people
and implementation. A culture
of implementing I4.0, finding the
insights and having the team and the
resources who are willing to act on
them is going to be as large as the
technical challenge.
Once the food industry
reaches I4.0 what awaits?
Interconnectedness and abundant
information will be used to empower
enhanced decision-making. I4.0
will empower industry to monitor,
synchronise and correlate different
elements of business highlighting
how separate process units
impact one another and the overall
operation. Increased data flow will
empower accelerated decisionmaking
and response times. This is
much more than cutting down on
unplanned maintenance time, it’s
an industry-wide shift in mindset. A
shift away from “you can have any
colour you want as long as it’s black”
towards mass customisation, shorter
supply chains and more effective and
efficient activity on the factory floor.
The core outcome will not only be an
increase in efficiency but an increase
in agility.
As a concept conceived in 2013, I4.0
has a level of maturity commensurate
with the time it’s been evolving. As
sensors and business practices
develop, the full value proposition of
I4.0 will continually crystallise.
For the food executives of Australia,
there are two key takeaways: I4.0
is not here yet but it is coming, and
perhaps more importantly, there are
very real benefits to adopting this
technology. Faster adoption means
greater actionable insights and
paired with a culture of striving to do
better will lead to a true competitive
advantage over the laggard in
industry.
“While the transition to I4.0 will
not be easy, the companies
with clear leadership and strong
implementation will be the ones to
come out on top of the 4th Industrial
Revolution,” Wiskar concluded.
