BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 17. The technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) in Azerbaijan can first of all be used in industry and manufacturing applying conveyor and assembly processes, Deputy Director of the DIS Group Consulting Division Sergei Yevtushenko told Trend.
According to Yevtushenko, the above fields have safety regulations which must be strictly followed, and this complicates and delays innovations and improvement.
"The Industry 4.0 approach doesn’t focus on any particular area, and it can be applied in various industries. As a first application of this concept, digitalization tasks can be proposed. Digitalization can be applied to various objects and processes. Both the equipment and the personnel, both the actual performance of the equipment and financial planning can have ‘Digital copies’," he said.
The expert stressed that the use of ‘digital copies’ minimizes possible risks, while providing almost unlimited opportunities.
"This includes building models, conducting research and analytics, and testing hypotheses. As a result, we get the opportunity to test the solution even before its actual implementation, and then implement it absolutely consciously," added Yevtushenko.
