Industry 4.0 is a short-cut for the 4th Industrial Revolution.
It is a collective for the introduction of Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Internet of Things into Production Processes. This will bring tremendous changes to all industries.
If you want to use future technologies effectively, you first need to prepare your business and your organization for innovation and to get into shape for future. I help companies and organizations to be well prepared for the changes caused by Industry 4.0 and support them to make progress and grow in an innovative environment.
But if there is a 4th Industrial Revolution should not be there also other Industrial Revolutions?
Yes, of course:

Start of Railway and first Industrial Prodution
2nd Industrial Revolution

Even if computers had been already invented before, at the 1970s computers got mainstream. Since then more and more tasks had been automated by IT, Software and Computers.
