There is much to say about Industry 4.0 (cyber physical production systems).

But two basic questions on Industry 4.0 are required:

1) Is Industry 4.0 the solution proposed for this crisis?

If we look at the previous evolution, it seems that yes (Industry 1.0 of the 18th century – the solution for the crisis of the 18th century, Industry 2.0 from the beginning of the 20th century – the solution for the crisis in ’29 -’33, Industry 3.0 of the 70s – the oil crisis solution). Is Industry 4.0 a kind of energy of the future? and

2) Is the society as a whole ready for this long-term solution?
