Making ERP “real time”with Industry 4.0

May 2025

Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, builds upon previous industrial milestones to bring efficiency and innovation to businesses worldwide. The first three industrial revolutions laid the groundwork for today’s technological landscape. Industry 4.0, however, focuses on the synergy between physical and digital systems, enabling them to communicate in real time, dramatically enhancing operational efficiency and cost savings.

 

Challenges faced in the current ERP landscape
  • Lack of real-time insights
  • Disconnected systems
  • Inability to respond in real-time

Industry 4.0 offers a transformative solution to these challenges by creating an interconnected ecosystem where physical systems (such as machinery and sensors) and digital systems (like ERP and IT platforms) work together seamlessly. This real-time data exchange allows organisations to optimise operations, make proactive decisions, and significantly cut costs.
