Industry 4.0 is a combination of cyber-physical systems and the internet of things. Sounds complicated right? Well, it is, but the results are great.
In this blog post, we’ll look at how you can be part of the Industry 4.0 revolution. Let’s start here:
Industry 4.0 is the start of establishing connectivity and communication through technologies like:
- automation
- machine learning
- real-time data processing.
Cyber-Physical Systems are machines connected to their surrounding physical environment. It can be something as small as a voice-enabled speaker that sits on your table or smart robots that clean large warehouse floors.
Businesses have adopted these emerging technologies as a key part of operations to improve efficiency. For instance, Amazon’s warehouses use robots to move products from one station to another. With embedded machine-to-machine communication they move around without bumping into each other and sort individual products as needed. This reduced costs of labour for Amazon and improved use of space.
Industry 4.0 offers greater data visibility and control to better manage physical and remotely connected environments.
On the flip side of this, we all know people are losing their jobs.
Automation is making our lives easier and more comfortable. It has not only taken away many jobs but has also created new ones across industries.
The question is: are you prepared to take up these new jobs?
From manufacturing to healthcare, there is a need for skilled workers that understand data analytics, industrial IoT, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Having a decade-old degree just might not be relevant anymore.
Recruiters need people who have the skills needed for jobs today. The process of recruitment is dramatically changing;
- virtual platforms are now the norm in recruitment
- digitising CVs is a trend that will continue to grow
- video CVs will be the new norm and act as the differentiator
Candidates are being hired for their skills alongside their fancy degrees. You need to have the skills and be able to differentiate yourself from the crowd.
To upskill and broaden employment opportunities, many professionals are taking up internships and certificate courses. Having hands-on experience will help you demonstrate how you meet industry requirements.
Given the current shortage of talent and with industries changing at an unprecedented rate, jobs that require skilled-workers are likely to be highly paid. Upskilling and mastering new tools and technologies can help you land a job you really want.
Skilled workers with provable skills will rule the labour market
Undertaking courses that offer verifiable digital certificates offer better opportunities. Not a scanned copy or PDF but an actual certificate, issued online.
If you’re wondering where to get digital certificates, emerging platforms built on blockchain technology are offering courses along with digital certificates.
Why digital certificates?
Digital certificates issued on blockchain technology cannot be tampered with. They are fraud-proof and hold a link between your achievements and the certificate-issuing authority (in most cases it is the educational institute you are training with). Recruiters you share it with can verify and validate your skills before scheduling interviews.
Such platforms are key to drive the Industry 4.0 revolution in the education sector. And, you wouldn’t want to get left behind.
