Safety 4.0 Technologies

The technological evolution brings the Industrial shifts. The new technologies such as cyber physical system, Internet of things, human machine collaboration, additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence bring the fourth industrial revolution called industry 4.0. With this new Industrial transformation some of these new technologies will be adopted in the manufacturing environment and consequently new methods of safety will be required. Some of the technologies was already in use before the industry 4.0, therefore we follow an approach that it will be more useful to renovate the existing safety procedure and methods. Thus all the actions required to renovate safety is explained in detail. Industrial Safety is wide topic and it’s difficult to explain as a whole. Therefore, we will explain the safety of technologies that will make industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 manufacturing systems are highly interconnected structures that include a large number of people, IT devices, automation components and machines. There is exchange of documents and information among the devices of the technological system. In order to provide interactions between these highly interconnected, open and heterogeneous components, a high degree of confidentiality, integrity and availability is required. In addition to safety, industry 4.0 required a whole range of fresh security aspects which is explained quite comprehensively in this thesis.
