Quality 4.0
Quality 4.0 is the application of Industry 4.0 technologies to quality initiatives. It is a reference to Industry 4.0, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, with critical technology changes that span advances in data, analytics, connectivity, scalability, and collaboration. Industry 4.0 connects people, machines and data in new ways and democratizes technologies previously only accessible to specialized few.

Quality 4.0 is closely aligning quality management with Industry 4.0 to enable enterprise efficiencies, performance, innovation and business models. The core concept of Quality 4.0 is about aligning the practice of quality management with the emerging capabilities of Industry 4.0.

Quality 4.0 blends new technologies with traditional quality methods to arrive at new optimums in Operational Excellence, performance, and innovation. The new technologies include Machine Learning/artificial intelligence, connected devices and operations, new forms of collaboration like social media and blockchain, Big Data, Cloud computing, and new apps like AR/VR and mashups.

Quality 4.0 doesn’t replace traditional quality methods, but rather builds and improves upon them.
