He was now in a better position to understand how automation forms the building block for new technologies, such as Industry 4.0, IIoT, and digitalization. Jacob was now even more curious to read and learn about these technologies. He now had an understanding of the engineering subject he was studying that, through his discussion with Josef, was coupled with real-life applications of these concepts. With today’s discussion, he was now able to envision where the manufacturing and automation industry was moving
