The first volume "La Fabbrica Connessa" has been in bookstores for a few days, the first book in the Guerini 4.0 series dedicated to the world of medium-sized enterprises and the result of the research work of 4 members of Federmeccanica's Industry 4.0 task force.
The new editorial series entirely dedicated to Industry 4.0 interprets a holistic vision of the fourth industrial revolution, including different perspectives starting from three guidelines: organizational forms, new technologies, the world of work.
Internet of things, big data, cyber-security, industrial internet, mechatronics and advanced manufacturing are just a part of the complex world of transformation involved in the Industry 4.0 process and are not just yet another technological acceleration, but a transformation that will impact society as a whole , with professions that will disappear and others that will be born.
The series is supported by a qualified editorial committee which includes Alessandro Baroncelli, Catholic University of Milan, Department of Economics and Business Management, Michele Colasanto, Catholic University of Milan, Department of Sociology, Alfredo Mariotti, Ucimu, Antonio Santangelo, Archidata, Innovation Technology Transfer, Edoardo Segantini, Corriere della Sera, Luigi Serio, Catholic University of Milan, Department of Economics and Business Management, Marco Taisch, Milan Polytechnic, Management Engineering Department, Sergio Terzi, Polytechnic of Milan, Department of Management Engineering.
The progenitor of this new editorial adventure was the volume Industria 4.0 by Annalisa Magone and Tatiana Mazali, published in 2016, which showed the kaleidoscopic upheaval that messes up and recombines products, services and production chains in the transformation process towards smart factories.
“The government's national Industry 4.0 plan envisages, among other things, the diffusion of greater awareness and awareness on the subject” says Angelo Guerini, President of the publishing house “With this new series we want to give our small contribution, giving voice and visibility to the reflections of journalists, technicians, teachers and professionals who are analyzing the phenomenon and are dealing with this new reality. In the nineties we gave voice to the Lean System, the Toyota revolution that is changing the world of manufacturing and services, today we believe it is the time to give voice to the new revolution of Industry 4.0”.
Coming out on June 15 The Connected Factory by Luca Beltrametti, Nino Guarnacci, Nicola Intini and Corrado La Forgia. Industry 4.0 can and must be implemented in Italy within small and medium-sized enterprises through a gradual path, in which companies can make limited investments, aimed at updating the machinery they already own, developing skills and exploring the potential that new technologies offer. The book, born from a research by Federmeccanica, proposes an evolutionary and not a revolutionary vision, in the knowledge that the technological paradigm shift requires a cultural paradigm shift that starts above all from training.
To be released in September Industry 4.0 in the world. Policies and witnesses compared by Annalisa Magone and Roberta De Bonis, will tell the choices of some countries that are trying their hand at this epochal transformation (Germany, France, England, United States, China). The analysis of the official documents, drawn up by governments and accompanied by important financial allocations, will be accompanied by the voice of the protagonists who see the application aspects of Industry 4.0, mostly from a multinational point of view.
Expected for October the book The new star key signed by Edoardo Segantini which will tell the story of the fourth industrial revolution, seen in its disruptive human, economic and social implications. A theme that the author has been exploring for years in his comments on Corriere della Sera and in his analyzes in the insert L'Economia.
