The heavy industry has seen few revolutions. First was the industrial revolution where steam took over human strength. Up to the contemporary so-called fourth revolution, or Industry 4.0, where all machines get interconnected, automation is fully digital, data is generated at any point of actuation and sensoring. In this context, the applications of machine learning start from online quality controls to predictive maintenance to robotics. And new trends are about to emerge. The true potential of cloud in support of the fourth Industrial Revolution can only be determined via the integration of compute services with a cloud platform. By tapping into the strength of compute services, cloud platforms support innovative and disruptive applications. What is the role of AI in this revolution? How can industries leverage ML to extract value and improve efficiency?
