The name Industry 4.0 was first coined by the German Government, and represents the implementation of Artificial intelligence, big data, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in the factories. It might be the first revolution where humans are not required, Once computers can talk to each other and automate the assembly line, and AI can understand issues and address them ahead of time, there might be no need for humans.
That might be a tad overzealous, at least in the first few decades. We assume humans will be kept in jobs as companies test artificial intelligence and robots in the workplace, to avoid disaster.
