It is time for "Humans 4.0".

With the advent of the concept of Industry 4.0, the dichotomy between man and robot has been overcome and replaced by the centrality of human resources in the digitisation process.

Companies are no longer required only to invest in 4.0-oriented machines. It is imperative to find specialised personnel able to manage them, exploit their full potential, and above all analyse big data – skills without which the Industry 4.0 loses part of its appeal and purpose.

The human factor, therefore, must be enhanced even before technology. There are no technology and innovation, without adequate human resources.

The ipcm Academy project, i.e. the professional training courses organised by the ipcm® magazine, is aimed precisely at this. The different modules make up a training course able to refine the professional skills of participants and offer immediate specialisation. ipcm Academy has very interesting development projects in store, in line with the demands of the manufacturing world for 2019 and 2020.

2019 will also be the year of ipcm®'s 10th anniversary. Therefore, we end this year full of energies and ready to work
