The human being had been busy with mostly agricultural economy for a
long history when the steam was considered as a resource of kinetic energy.
Using the steam machine in textile industry for the first time in the UK at the
beginning of the 18th century, would be called as “Industrial Revolution” many
decades later. Respectively, second industrial revolution with the invention
and utilizing of electricity, then third industrial revolution with the rise of
electronics and automation followed this period. And today, we have been facing
with the fourth industrial revolution via internet of things, augmented
reality, learning machines, etc. One of the key technologies that are improved
in this period is virtual commissioning. The aim of this contribution is to
suggest a definition to the Industry 4.0 with its historical precursors, and to
give a focus on virtual commissioning technology as an output of the fourth
industrial revolution.
