Industry 4.0 Technologies | Description | References |
---|---|---|
Big data analytics | Big data analytics helps process massive amounts of data from a variety of sources, both unstructured and structured, in order to aid in decision-making processes and support data mining, predictive analytics, and other applications. | [34,35,36,37,38,39] |
Blockchain technology | Blockchain technology is defined as a digital, distributed, and decentralized ledger in which transactions are recorded and appended in chronological sequence to produce permanent and immutable records. Blockchain supports smart contracts, which represent pieces of code independently and automatically executed by computers. | [40,41,42] |
The IoT | The IoT allows for wireless communication between human devices, computers, and sensors, making data available from any location. The technology can be considered a very sophisticated and widely dispersed networked system composed of several intelligent objects that can generate and share information. | [43,44,45] |
Simulation | This technology refers to the act of creating a computer-generated model that closely mimics the behavior of a real-world system or process. Simulation takes into account the simulated past of a system and its operation to make conclusions about the actual system’s operational characteristics. | [46,47,48,49] |
Cloud computing | This technology provides a variety of services online and allows for remote access to information that is kept elsewhere. | [50,51,52,53,54] |
Additive manufacturing | This technology is a disruptive innovation that aims to produce product components without specialized, sophisticated equipment. It is the technique of fusing together materials to form a three-dimensional model for a digital design, thereby speeding up production timelines and connecting engineers, designers, and customers. | [55,56,57,58,59,60] |
Artificial intelligence | Artificial intelligence is described as the development of computers that have the capacity to learn, make decisions independently of human oversight, and self-correct in ways that mimic human intelligence. | [61,62] |
Cyber-physical systems | A cyber-physical system represents a technological computer system that links components and machines together in the manufacturing process via the exchange of data and instructions through physical processes, cyberspace, controlling, and sensing. This technology aids in the collection of real-time data for prioritizing manufacturing orders, optimizing tasks, and spotting maintenance requirements. | [63,64,65,66,67] |
