Siemens PLM Software Industry 4.0 Today’s Industrial Revolution is digitally transforming manufacturing. This Fourth Industrial Revolution will use electronics and information technology (IT) to further automate production. Take a look at the significant events driving industrial progress over time! 1760-1840: The First Industrial Revolution Water power, steam power, mechanical tools, the birth of factories 1775: 1785: 1801: 1830: James Watt and Matthew Boulton Edmund Cartwright patents the Richard Trevithick begins George Stephenson builds patent the Watt steam engine, power loom, industrializing building the first steam the first public intercity the first global technology to textile manufacturing. locomotive, leading to the railway, the Liverpool and increase productivity. first locomotive-powered Manchester line. railway. 1776: 1794: 1828: Adam Smith publishes Eli Whitney patents the cotton James Beaumont The Wealth of Nations, gin in the United States, sparking Neilson patents the encouraging businesses explosive growth in the cotton hot-blast process to improve productivity industry. for iron furnaces, by reinvesting profits improving fuel into equipment and efficiency and labor. furnace capacity. 1840-1914: The Second Industrial Revolution Mass production, assembly lines, division of labor, electrification 1837: 1867: 1881: 1913: Samuel Morse patents the Chicago’s meatpacking Siemens & Halske Henry Ford begins operating his telegraph and develops district, the Union Stock build the first electric moving assembly line at Ford Morse code; he sends the Yards, begins using the tramway.
