Industry 4.0 depicts the current trend of automation & data exchange in manufacturing technologies, and creates what has been called a “smart factory”. Within the modular structured smart factories; cyber-physical systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the physical world, and make decentralized decisions. Over the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans in real-time and via cloud computing, both internal and cross-organizational services are offered and used by participants of the value chain.
A key part of digital transformation is IoT, which is positioned to revolutionize the entire manufacturing value chain, by providing an unprecedented level of contentedness and functionality. For manufacturing firms, this change empowers them with new ways to develop, innovate, and manufacture due to the endless connections that can take place. Industrial IoT (IIoT) is the subset of IoT, which concerns itself with connected manufacturing operations to develop products and services. By looking at maintenance strategy of machines and equipment, IIoT can be applied, so that a user can monitor the assets while they are in operation. IIoT can also be useful in production monitoring, as it can stream data from the factory floor so that built-in analytics can measure equipment health and production output against key performance indicators (KPIs). It can provide end-to-end visibility of the manufacturing process, based on consolidation and contextualization of information from multiple sources. It can quickly identify opportunities to improve processes, by analyzing large data sets in real-time. With the help of IIoT, we can perform rapid root cause analysis, with instant access to pertinent information about material, machine, product, and processes.
