Internet of Things in the Context of Industry 4.0: An Overview

Abstract

Due to successive technological advancements, developments and innovations, the global industrial landscape has drastically transformed over the last years. The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) aims at transforming traditional industries into intelligent ones by incorporating innovative technologies. Industry 4.0 enables physical assets to be integrated into intertwined digital and physical processes thus creating smart factories and intelligent manufacturing environments. Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing technology that has drastically contributed to the Industry 4.0 realization. IoT pursues to pervade our everyday environment and its objects, linking the physical to the digital world and allowing people and “things” to be connected anytime, anywhere, with anything and anyone ideally using any network and service. IoT is regarded as a dynamic and global network of interconnected “things” uniquely addressable, based on standard and interoperable communication protocols and with self-configuring capabilities. Despite still being at an early development, adoption and implementation stage, Industry 4.0 and IoT can provide a multitude of contemporary solutions, applications and services. Hence, they can improve life quality and yield significant personal, professional and economic opportunities and benefits in the near future. This study scrutinizes IoT in the Industry 4.0 context. More specifically, it presents related studies, describes the IoT concept and explores some of the numerous IoT application domains. Moreover, it presents and analyzes the concept of Industry 4.0 and the benefits it offers as well as the relevant key technologies (e.g. industrial internet of things (IIoT), cyber-physical systems (CPSs), cloud computing, big data and advanced data analytics). Furthermore, it describes the concept of intelligent manufacturing and highlights the main IoT and Industry 4.0 challenges and open research issues. Finally, the need for innovation in the industrial domain and the impact and benefits that IoT and Industry 4.0 provide to everyday life and industries is described.

Economic Considerations on Nutrient Utilization in Wastewater Management

“…The HC emissions are directly opposite to the NOx emissions. As the HC emissions decrease, the NO and NOx emissions increase [62,63]. The amount of NOx emissions was 0.058 g/kWh, 0.057 g/kWh, and 0.038 g/kWh for D100, B25, and B50, respectively.…”

Artificial intelligence for structural glass engineering applications — overview, case studies and future potentials

“…Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short, is probably the term that leads to the most animated discussions today in companies of the tech sector, universities and startups, but also in other low-tech companies with a small degree of digitization. Due to a progressing digitization of all sectors of industry (Barbosa et al 2017;Lampropoulos et al 2019;Schober 2020) while costs of data processing and storage steadily decrease (Kurt Peker et al 2020;Kraus and Drass 2020a), AI is currently paving its way from the subject of academic considerations into both private and professional everyday life in a wide variety of forms. Most people in academia and industry who are not familiar with the field of AI imagine the technology to be similar to popular science fiction movies like "Terminator", "Blade Runner", "Matrix" or "A.I.…”
