Industry 4.0 - Perspectives and Applications (original) (raw)

Industry 4.0 involves a high level of digitization, which has been increasing the efficiency and flexibility of various manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries in civil, environmental, mechanical, electrical, petroleum, and medical engineering. The world is changing quickly and the Internet and digitalization are the driving forces of today’s trade. In addition, new technologies deliver human-like accuracy and reliability in highly complex tasks. Nowadays, computer-based technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, deep learning, big data, and data mining approaches along with their applications are ubiquitous in automation, intelligence, and sustainability. DigiTech platforms facilitate intelligent tasks and diagnostics in the research and analysis of industries and organizations in predictive policing. This book presents the key technological developments in Industry 4.0 and explores the potential benefits of using real-world applications. As a roadmap for decision-makers, it covers several evolutionary advances in Industry 4.0. I hope that readers will find this book useful, and I warmly welcome comments, suggestions, and criticisms.
