Industry 4.0 (Topical Term)

Work cat: Industry 4.0 interoperability, analytics, security, and case studies, 2021: galley (Our industry is now upgrading to the next industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, which have been generating massive data that we have never seen before. It requires us to employ new methods to take advantage of this fast and big data. Optimizing and fully automated production, by harnessing cutting-edge technologies, are the ultimate goals of Industry 4.0)

However, the race to adopt new manufacturing technologies and systems, such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), can be challenging. ... methods and tools that individuals, teams, and organizations can use immediately to get the greatest value from technological change")

Forbes web site, viewed Nov. 9, 2020 ("We're in the midst of a significant transformation regarding the way we produce products thanks to the digitization of manufacturing. This transition is so compelling that it is being called Industry 4.0 to represent the fourth revolution that has occurred in manufacturing. From the first industrial revolution (mechanization through water and steam power) to the mass production and assembly lines using electricity in the second, the fourth industrial revolution will take what was started in the third with the adoption of computers and automation and enhance it with smart and autonomous systems fueled by data and machine learning.")

An Overview of Industry 4.0 in Journal of Advanced Research in Dynamical and Control Systems 10(14):14, October 2018; viewed via ResearchGate, Nov. 17, 2020 Abstract (Industry 4.0 refers to the means of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies including Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, big data and analytics, augmented reality, additive manufacturing, simulation, horizontal and vertical system integration, autonomous robots as well as cloud computing. It serves a role to help integrate and combine the intelligent machines, human actors, physical objects, manufacturing lines and processes across organizational stages to build new types of technical data, systematic and high agility value chains)

What is IT; via TechTarget; viewed online Nov. 17, 2020 (Industry 4.0 is the cyber-physical transformation of manufacturing. The vision of the fourth industrial revolution will result in the smart factory and make full use of digital manufacturing. It is expected to be a transformative, end-to-end digitization of the manufacturing sector. In the vision of Industry 4.0, a fully interoperable ecosystem of machines and partners will be realized across the supply chain and data will both inform and correct the course of actions. Industry 4.0 is driven by the convergence of technologies, including: The industrial internet of things (IIoT) and the widespread use of sensors; Big data and analytics; Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning; LPWANs for machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) networks; IT/OT convergence; Touch and voice interfaces and augmented reality (AR) systems; Advanced robotics; Additive manufacturing. Essentially, all the new and developing technologies created for humans to communicate with machines, for machines to communicate with each other and to achieve more complicated goals, and for data to inform and optimize all the processes related to the manufacturing sector will interconnect manufacturing processes from design through the end of the product lifecycle)

Here are entered works on the fourth wave of development in manufacturing industries characterized by the use of smart technology for machine-to-machine and human-machine interaction.
