“…The transformation of a traditional factory into a smart one brings with it a higher integration of physical production with digital technologies. Sensors and actuators bring factory communication capabilities and data collection and analysis capabilities [ 144 ]. The intelligent factory brings a change from traditional automation to a fully connected and flexible system that can use a continuous flow of data from connecting operations and production systems to learn and adapt to new requirements.…”

With the arrival of new technologies in modern smart factories, automated predictive maintenance is also related to production robotisation. Intelligent sensors make it possible to obtain an ever-increasing amount of data, which must be analysed efficiently and effectively to support increasingly complex systems’ decision-making and management. The paper aims to review the current literature concerning predictive maintenance and intelligent sensors in smart factories. We focused on contemporary trends to provide an overview of future research challenges and classification. The paper used burst analysis, systematic review methodology, co-occurrence analysis of keywords, and cluster analysis. The results show the increasing number of papers related to key researched concepts. The importance of predictive maintenance is growing over time in relation to Industry 4.0 technologies. We proposed Smart and Intelligent Predictive Maintenance (SIPM) based on the full-text analysis of relevant papers. The paper’s main contribution is the summary and overview of current trends in intelligent sensors used for predictive maintenance in smart factories.

“…Particularly important in this case is the integration process of intelligent machines and systems and the changes in the production processes. The aim of the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept is not only technological change, but also the implementation of new ways of working and the new role of employers in the industry [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. In Industry 4.0, the connection of machines and devices via the Internet and the digitalization of all production processes is crucial [9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…Today, industrial production is driven by global competition and the need to quickly adapt to ever-changing market requirements [1][2][3]. Modern production was built on the experiences of the first industrial revolution, streamlining the operations of manufacturing plants; the second revolution, introducing electricity to industry; and the third revolution, automating uniform tasks for production workers [4][5][6]. The fourth industrial revolution-Industry 4.0-differs from its predecessors in that it applies to all areas of life [7], including the dangerous phenomenon of an ageing population and the consequent decline in the workforce [8][9][10][11].…”

The primary aim of this paper was to present and analyze practical solutions of Industry 4.0 as applied in the Re Alloys company. The research question was whether the implementation of the digitization process based on Industry 4.0 resulted in changes to the organizational structure of the company and whether this brought about an improvement in the energy and material efficiency of the company. The research method used in the paper was the case study method. In view of the project’s results, we concluded that implementation of the new solution based on digitalization caused increased energy and material efficiency, often forced by external factors stemming from the operation of competitive markets. Technological changes also require the application of IT technologies and communication systems in managing production. Access to this information is also a chance to gain a competitive advantage.

“…As an example, photonics is seen as one fundamental technology in digitalization, as assumed by the European Commission in its digitalization strategy, that could facilitate a change in data-center architectures [60]. Of equally high importance are 5G and its M2M capabilities that will provide the means to boost the communication between the distributed entities in ICPS systems [61].…”

Industry 4.0 vision and its mandated digital transformation are radically reshaping the way business is carried out and the way overall industrial processes and collaborations are operating. In this work, the objective is to analyze the current level of adoption of Industry 4.0, via the footprint available in industrial and academic research works. The analysis performed reveals insights on how Industry 4.0 has impacted and is still influencing research and innovation in industrial systems, services, and business approaches. It also reveals pertinent trends on key enabling features, technologies and challenges associated with this 4 th industrial revolution, mainly focusing on the pathways for wider industrial adoption of Industry 4.0-compliant technologies and solutions.
