Wheel Blockchain is the part for me that is the most promising of the industry 4.0 it will facilitate and secure a lot of processes in the industry.

Largely it's another buzzword.  Industry is in a constant state of change and there are no absolute versions. Differentiating it in this way is helpful for scholars perhaps, but it does not change the state of business nor add value. What we are ultimately talking about is digital automation and transformations and it seems somewhat arbitrary to define that as starting with one event or ending with one. It began far before the microchip and will continue beyond the end of the nanochip.

Genuine concept but with challenges!

Buzzwords are needed to reinstate value and belief that an idea could deliver in the industry. Analytics was considered a hype too, so was Blockchain.
