Vivekananda University is preparing for the 4.0 era, by creating skilled professionals to meet the new millennium workforce. The fourth industrial revolution is a combination of software, hardware that interconnects through cyber-physical systems (CPS) enabling computer-driven manufacturing systems to manufacture parts or products on-demand, direct from a digital design.
The new revolution introduces the emergence of the smart factory. In a smart factory, a virtual cyber world will be connected with the world of physical reality. Live data, demand, and supply, and the entire supply chains can pivot with the introduction of new products, changes in consumption, and economic fluctuation.
As a result of this new adaptation to the Industry, organizations require new professionals with a new set of skills. Repetitive or routine jobs will disappear and that will be replaced by robots. On the contrary, new jobs will be created that will be associated with higher demands on the technical and knowledge domain. A complex problem solving, critical thinking, coordination with others, and creativity are the most important required new skills.
