The term "Industry 4.0" refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the mechanization of production using water and steam power, it was followed by the second industrial revolution which introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution, the use of electronics and IT to further automate production.

We can define two.js object using below code. var two = new Two({ type: Two.Types[type], fullscreen: true, autostart: true }).appendTo(document.body); This defines type of the drawing i.e. canvas/webgl. fullscreen behaviour, autostart options and many more things as described here . The last line "appendTo()" decides where our two.js drawing will be rendered. Here, we have taken webpage's body directly to render two.js drawing. <!DOCTYPE html> <html><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content=...
