		+	=== Industry 1.0 ===
		+	This is the first of the mechanical automation to create a huge breakthrough in productivity and consistency of production. The earliest examples are steam and water driven textile mills and weaving machines. These completely change the way cloth was produced in the 1800s.
		+
		+
		+	=== Industry 2.0 ===
		+	This is the production line. Now you might immediately think of Henry Ford here, but he was not the first by a long shot. Early examples are meat production moving away from shopping blocks where all of an animal was butchered to a line where at each station a different step of the butchering took place. Regardless of the example, the modern production mass volume technique was now in play.
		+
		+
		+	=== Industry 3.0 ===
		+	In the 1970s the advent of computers and PLCs meant that production lines could be controlled by IT systems. And with Electric control for many processes this allowed automation of production activities at an unprecedented level. With QA systems and the ability to do automated inspection you could guarantee quality at very high production rates. This dropped the unit production to lower levels than was possible in the past. And this is as far as many have gone.
		+
		+
		+	=== Industry 4.0 ===
		+	We have smart machines, sensor that communication, high data rate wired and wireless networking and a range if identification technologies including optical and RFID. If you put that together with Industry 3.0 automation and IT systems you can now have Mass Customisation. Industry 3.0 focused on high volume, low mix, high quality manufacture. Industry 4.0 takes that and adds high mix, self maintaining machines, automated order to delivery scheduling and the ability to create reliably customised product just as readily and cost effectively as Industry 3.0 ensured reliable quality of high volume products.
