The concept of machine to machine is the interconnection between production cells, in which the systems exchange informations among themselves in and autonomous manner, taking decisions about production, costs, contingencies, and safety, by means of an artificial intelligence (AI) model.

In order for this system to work, delivering benefits that exceed expectations, new industrial automation technologies have emerged, many issuing from the area of Information Technology (IT), making the convergence between that and manufacturing. Among them are:

• IPV6 Protocol (growth of IP access for all devices);
• Wireless (broad use of wireless networks);

• Hardware virtualization (use of virtual machines through software);
• Cloud storage and computing (informations are stored in the cloud and shared);
• Big Data (All the informations are gathered in a dinamic manner for decision making);
• RFID (data movement is tracked with every information).

We conclude that 4.0 Industry is a new concept that is definitely becoming a reality that will change the way in which we deal with manufacturing of consumer goods and materials, with a better distribution of wealth and a more sustainable planet.
