COVER UPCOMING PRODUCTION REVOLUTION
T
echnology is transforming not just the manufacturing sector but many others as well, and is affecting every segment of society. In cities, for example, Internet of Things technologies are expected to have an economic impact worth 0.9-1.7 trillion dollars by 2025. It is predicted that just the benefit provided by smart traffic management systems will amount to approximately 500-900 billion dollars per year. The world has experienced the First Industrial Revolution with the invention of steam engines. The reporter of the Second Industrial Revolution was the mass production and the use of electricity. The Third Industrial Revolution has begun when electronic and digital technologies are part of mass production optimization. Today, the world is now talking about Industry 4.0. In other words, the heartbeats of a new system in which the machines talk about each other are heard at every stage of the production process of the technology. Industry 4.0 refers to a period in which communication between machines is started by the internet, robots are engaged in production processes made by human power, and almost all production processes are digitized. It means that the existing production concept in the industry is being reshaped together with the developing technology. It is not possible to explain this new mode of production and its understanding with technology alone. We can perceive it as a new understanding emerged by adding many different concepts and applications such as Cyber-Physical Systems (intelligent electronic systems integrated with various in the production process, equipped with sensors and internet), Internet of Things and Big Data.

A new science feld: Data science The new platform for the scientifc process that takes us to this reconnaissance adventure is undoubtedly “Data Science� This new scientifc discipline with mathematical and informatics technology involves fnding and using the methods necessary to collect, compile, analyze and reach the results of a large and broad digital world. Although the data science examines the current programs and software since the beginning of the 21st century, its main

goal is to focus on how the resulting data can be used more effectively and how an analytical mechanism can be built at the decision-making stage. Undoubtedly, the studies to be done in order to evaluate the digital data collected and made available to human beings on health, environment, politics, economics and many other areas will be one of the main topics of this science branch. The digital world, with its revolutionary progress, brought together incredibly large amounts of data generated in seconds and minutes. At every stage of daily life, in online processes, in short, complex, processed and unprocessed digital information about all our movements in the internet world is collected. The compilation and analytical comprehension of this pile is a great and indispensable reTuirement for the media, the fnancial world, private and public institutions.
