Since this is a revolution that is anticipated but does not yet exist, it is important to know the main associated concepts, and how they differ from those of previous revolutions. The lecture will therefore deal with how they emerged and what are the core concepts of a factory of the future, and on the technologies that, applied to industrial processes, will allow the achievement of that future. In addition, it will focus on the economic impact of this revolution, with particular emphasis on the impact on the technology labor market.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Speaker's short bio</em></span></div><div style="font-size: 12pt;">Francisco Almada Lobo holds a MBA (2004) and an Electrical Engineering degree (1996) from University of Porto, having started his career in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) R&D institute in the 1990s.
