Things to remember
- From the mechanization to the digital transformationEach industrial revolution has marked a key stage in the way we produce, organize work and manage skills.
- Today, theindustry of the future - or industry 5.0 - puts people and sustainability at the heart of our production processeswhile relying on advanced technologies such as theartificial intelligence, l'IoTthe collaborative robotics or the Big Data.
- To succeed in this transformation industrial companies must set up a strategy of skills managementmaintain a high level of skillsintegrating soft skills and update their reference systems with continuous digital tools performance.
Industry 1.0 - The age of steam and coal
At the end of the XVIIIᵉ century, the first industrial revolution profoundly transformed the world. France's industrial fabric and Europe. Coal-fired steam engines gradually replaced human and animal power.
In the industrial sector mechanized looms increased productivity eightfold. Visit industrial plants are developing around the big cities and overturning thework organization.
This period also marks the beginning of a business model focused on industrial production and the rise of new sectors as the steel industry or the refining.
Industry 2.0 - Electrification and mass production
At the beginning of the XXᵉ century, the robotization does not yet exist, but theelectrification and Henry Ford's invention of the assembly line in theautomotive industry enable large-scale production.
Visit manufacturing output becomes standardized: the production lines improve competitiveness and reduce costs, making goods more affordable.
The flexibility ofproduction equipment thanks to the use of electric motors, paving the way for new industrial sectors as theaeronautics and theagri-food.
Industrie 3.0 - Automation and IT
From the 1970s onwards, factories entered the era of theautomation thanks toITPLCs and industrial robots.
The data collected on the machines are analyzed to optimize industrial performance and reduce breakdowns.
It was also the start of the ERP and production management computer-assisted help identify and anticipate maintenance needs.
Visit industrial companies are starting to integrate training plans to maintain specific skills required for maintenance and programming.
Industrie 4.0 - Intelligent and connected factory
Now widely deployed in manufacturing industries, l'industry 4.0 is based on :
- L'Industrial Internet of Things (IoT)
- L'artificial intelligence and the Big Data
- Visit platforms collaborative
- Visit augmented reality and digital simulation
- Visit supply-chain connected
These technologies help identify performance gaps, to improve flexibility and personalize production while reducing the environmental footprint.
Visit installation d'digital tools for the industrial skills management becomes indispensable: a competency plan is a tool key to linking the objectives of digital transformation team skills development.

Industrie 5.0 - The inclusive, sustainable factory
L'industry 5.0 is not a technological breakthrough but a new industrial revolution which completes the previous one.
Objectives:
- Strengthen man-machine cooperation (collaborative robots, exoskeletons, intelligent sensors)
- Reduce environmental impact (circular economy, reduced energy consumption)
- Enhance industrial trades and strengthen theattractiveness
- Update continuous industrial skills thanks to professional training and development plans
Visit installation strategy forward-looking management of jobs and skills (GPEC) is a major lever in supporting this transformation. Visit French companies that will succeed in combining industrial innovation, operational flexibility and added value will have a sustainable competitive advantage in a globalized market.
Accelerated transition: from 1.0 to 5.0
Previous cycles took decades. In contrast, the digital boom, the digital transformationIndustrialization 4.0, then 5.0 have followed in less than two decades. Today, technological convergence (Big Data, AI, Iot) means we can go beyond automation: towards an agile, collaborative and sustainable factory.
Why start now?
- For identify key skillsbuild a development plan, create a skills matrixand theintegrate with business processes.
- To enable teams to switch to a customized manufacturingefficient and responsible.
- To meet the growing demands ofISO 9001We're also working to improve the quality of our products and services, and regulatory compliance, while structuring our industrial businesses towards a more competitive model.
