1. INTRODUCTION
Every industry is driving the next industrial revolution as both a lead operator and lead
supplier of Industry 4.0 solutions. Today Industry 4.0 moving in faster pace across sectors
through newer approaches which helps to migrate entire society and human body.
3. ORIGINALITY/VALUE
Most of the researchers across various domain and technologies contributed many research
papers on Industry 4.0 solutions but this manuscript provides an alternative path on by
measuring how industry 4.0 solutions gives business firms by identifying there suitable
technologies by converting themselves to produce smart product and services. Also currently
there are wide spread manufacturing technologies solutions available across globally. This
paper suggests how these technologies are supportive for business environment.
Increasing importance of Industry 4.0 offers combination of digitization which allows
manufacturing firms not only link their internal production facility but also link entire
production facility. Many industries over the year are migrating themselves by building
paradigm shift towards Industry 4.0 solution because of the following reasons[6]. First,
Industry 4.0 reduces Mean Time to Repair [MTTR] which enables predictive maintenance of
components and machines. Most of the legacy devices across firms migrating towards smart
devices helps manufacturing process to identify detection of faults and reduction in repairing
time. User dash boarding an evolving concept of cloud integration benefit user in analyzing
fault logs and pattern of faults, auto job assignment via E-mail. Multiple legacy devices are
easily communicated via IoT Protocol gateway.
4. LITERATURE REVIEW
Industry 4.0 is recently a new booming topic by everybody across the world a comprehensive
overview of the state of the emerging industrial revolution is essential to investigate on
Scopus database. Most of the researchers across global shown recently a major interest in this
topic.
The search was refined considering only articles. As an author we referred more than 150
published articles since 2014. Since 2017, there is a growing trend of publications on these
issues. This strong interest is certainly due to continuous changes happening across sectors
due to automation, modern methodological practices purely through smart manufacturing both
from a research and business point of view.
Personal flexibility with respect to work time, work contents, workplaces and mindsets are
prerequisites competencies for an agile production, to respond quickly to market need and
environmental situations. In addition, today and future managers need the ability to transform
their management and leadership styles from power-driven to value-driven, as the teams of
the Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are currently diversifying themselves all in
geographical location, culture, and education.
According to Stephen Gold, President and CEO, MAPI, US gross domestic product is
11% of the manufacturing output but its total economy is three times more than it total value
chain. Reasons for this complete digital transformation allows US companies to be more
competitive and continuous research and development provides them excellent insights for
their manufacturing leaders which they propel their digitalization journey irrelevant of their
existing state of their operations.
According to MGI report, ―The Internet of Things: Mapping the Value Beyond the Hype,‖
predicted that the application of the Internet of Things in the manufacturing context alone—in
other words, using sensors to bring intelligence to each piece of production equipment on the
factory floor to optimize their collective use—would increase manufacturing productivity by
10 to 25 percent, with the potential to create as much as $1.8 trillion in new value per year
across the world’s factories by 2025.
Many market research firms estimate smart manufacturing / technologies will reach
greater heights over the next 5 – 10 years with hundreds of billions of dollars range. Grand
View Research predicts reach USD $400.3 billion by 2026, Future Market Insights ―420B‖ by
2029, Statistica ―$482B by 2023‖, Markets and Markets ―$205B by 2022‖ and Orbis
Research ―$595B by 2024‖
Manufacturing output may be 11% of U.S. gross domestic product, which is three times
ahead of its total value chain for the economy. Digital transformation increase
manufacturing's importance and competitiveness which provides a modified research
approach and insights. Many manufacturing leaders across sectors already propel their
digitalization journey, regardless of the current state of their operations.
According to Vodafone, companies ―adopting the IoT‖ brings average cost savings for
industry of 18 percent, with nearly 10 percent of IoT adopters reducing their costs by over 25
percent, in addition to realizing other benefits including: process efficiencies; speed and
agility in decision making; better customer service; consistency of delivery across markets;
transparency/predictability of costs; and better performance in new markets. McKinsey has
subsequently developed a ―Digital Compass‖ diagnostic tool to guide companies in their
adoption of Industry 4.0 and has worked with the Digital Manufacturing Design and
Innovation Institute which allow the firm to evaluate their actual returns through realizing
from digital manufacturing implementations.
According to US Department of Commerce survey more 95 US manufacturers and
vendors found that smart manufacturing allow firms and provide $63 billion dollars cost
reduction annually. This represents on an average and approximate reduction of 4.5%
reduction in shop floor production cost. Techniques such as seamless digital transformation,
monitoring and sensing, advanced analytical data save many manufacturers in excess of $20
billion annually.
According to a Research & Markets report, in 2014 global manufacturing market was 20
billion dollars and it will show progressiveness by an increase of 13.5% per year till 2024.
The major reason for these drivers of development is mainly because of industrial process
automation and every sectors are looking for integrated analysis and design solutions. Every
industries in the recent platforms keen on reducing costs, continuously improving and
launching through speeding up their product development life cycles, migrating themselves
towards simulation applications through cloud based platforms.
The analysis pointed out that 53.2% of the analyzed publications refers to engineering
issues, 29.2% refers to communications issues, and 17.6% refers to business process
management. Analyzing the 150 articles found, the search was more refined using seven
specific keywords that characterize ―Industry 4.0‖ as detailed below:
Cyber-physical systems
Big data or digitalization or digital.
Automation or artificial intelligence or robotics
Additive manufacturing or 3D printers
Simulation/augmented/virtual reality
Industry 4.0 moves from potential to reality open standards are more crucial for successful
deployment. 4.0 solutions are highly dependent on connectivity – technically as well as
organizationally within the entire value creation process of every firm connecting suppliers
product and service development. This newer approaches prefers firms to unlock new
revenues by closer interaction with the stakeholders as whole.
Industry 4.0 indicates that lower and middle tier staff may be subjected to be less required
with the time as smart machines will replace that role and while the new skill requirements in
terms of digital supervision will still exists. This will prompt the change roles from machine
operators to supervisory roles [5].
In the digital world, based on customer requirements all inbuilt monolithic process based
applications within organizations are shifting their manufacturing processes towards
personalized, automated and localized value chains. This shift of technology definitely
provides a greater personalized infrastructure for the firms to sustain competitive advantage
among competitors. The following business models analyze and interpret better results for
every industrial survival to benchmark their product and services continuously.
Collaborative robots to augment workforces
Cloud robotics & APIs give manufacturers greater control
Robotics-as-a-service make robotics viable for smaller manufacturers
5G & Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) help keep factory workers informed
Edge computing to see new use cases
Cybersecurity will be given greater priority
Digital twins will be employed more widely across manufacturing and the supply
chain
Additive manufacturing will be used to create final products
Wearables will become commonplace on the factory floor
8. CONCLUSION
Industry 4.0 concept known worldwide and it may be the latest hot topic of discussion for past
five years across sectors. Industry 4.0 production concepts and their deployment is half-way
paths for many enterprises who are all still in infant stages and industries with an idea of
making themselves to be digitally transformable enterprises / smart enterprises need to
gradually reengineer their existing / legacy equipment and solutions without affecting their
existing production set-up.
The key element to deploy smart factory requires compound talents and multi-field
cooperation is required for every firm. The research shows to implement and establish smart
factory / smart technology integration of information technology is not alone sufficient but
also to include traditional disciplines such as control theory, materials and energy.
With the advancement of big data technology to improve product quality, increase
production efficiency, reducing energy consumption all firms uses data based virtual
manufacturing mode part of intelligent manufacturing and also based on big data which leads
major revolution on traditional industry.
It is must for every industry to overcome many challenges by managing systematic
transition on Industry 4.0 solutions by pushing themselves through research and
experimentation through identification of relevant fields especially on privacy, security and
employment. This strategy is applicable both for large corporation and public sectors and it is
a promising picture and should be truly revolutionary. Shop floor professionals and
manufacturing players get to operate in the factories of the future and improve their business
and growth while giving consumers exactly what they want.
