does science and technology influence industrialization?


Industrialization is the process by which an economy is transformed from primarily agricultural to one based on the manufacturing of goods. Individual manual labor is often replaced by mechanized mass production, and craftsmen are replaced by assembly lines. Characteristics of industrialization include economic growth, more efficient division of labor, and the use of technological innovation to solve problems as opposed to dependency on conditions outside human control.
Industrialization is the period of social and economic change that transforms a human group from an agrarian society into an industrial society. This involves an extensive re-organization of an economy for the purpose of manufacturing. Therefore, this is a process of change from a basic agrarian economy to an industrialized one.
As industrial workers' incomes rise, markets for consumer goods and services of all kinds tend to expand and provide a further stimulus to industrial investment and economic growth.
Science encompasses the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment, and technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. It’s true that science and technology affects industrialization, the contribution of science and technology are centered on discussion as follows,
The science and technology has increased Marketing of industrial products;
Every industry needs a market for its products, therefore the digital platforms, such as a social network plays a major role in advertizing industrial products. Manufacturers and industrial companies once relied on trade publications and shows to reach their target audience. Now that so much of marketing and sales happens online, there’s an opportunity for industrial product sellers to reach more people through targeted ad campaigns and their online presence.

The science and technology Increased industrial Productivity

Productivity is key when running a manufacturing business as the greater the productivity, the more you can produce and the quicker you can produce it. Technology also plays a major role in productivity, so looking for software solutions may be ideal for your business. You could, for instance, make time to find software solutions that help with scheduling, inventory, and monitoring workflow. Considering automation is also a good idea as it can help reduce the risk of error which can also affect your productivity levels as it often creates setbacks. It has been forecasted that machine learning will reduce supply chain forecasting by 50% and reduce lost sales by 65%. This reflects how technology can help improve your bottom line when used in the right way.
Machine innovation
For industry to meet the demand of the market, it need to produce more quality product and at a high quantity. This situation made the scientific innovation so important. The machine innovation increases the production rate and quality of product too. Therefore the science and technology is very important for the industrialization process in any country.
Transportation of industrial product and raw material
The innovation in the transport sector such as steam boats and ships, as well as airports and tarmac roads plays a great role in a transportation of industrial raw material from production are to the industry and transportation of already manufactured goods to the market from the industrial area, this stimulate the growth of industry, therefore science and technology is very crucial in the process of industrialization.
The transformation of power technology
The development of power from he use of coal to the stem engines and then to the electrical motor has influenced a lot on industrialization process. The industries increasingly focused on micro power, where individual companies are creating their own power plants for their own use. Therefore the development of power technology is very crucial in the industrialization process.
Therefore, Modern technology is helping various organizations in different industries progress at a much faster rate. Speed is critical in today’s business world and technology and science has made it to be that lead the business is now conducted at the speed of thought.
