ABSTRACT
This study stresses the merging of cutting-edge technologies, including but not limited to the internet of things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics. In Industry 4.0, the development of intelligent factories and connected supply chains is one of the benefits of the internet of things. The IoT is a collection of objects that are connected. These devices can collect data from machines, people, and the environment, providing valuable insights into the performance of the manufacturing process. IoT also enables remote monitoring and control of industrial systems, allowing for faster response times and greater efficiency. Smart factories, capable of self-monitoring and autonomous management of their production processes, are made feasible through the use of the IoT. So, smart factories can use data from IoT sensors to optimize production schedules, predict maintenance requirements, and reduce downtime. IoT also enables the creation of connected supply chains, allowing for greater visibility and efficiency throughout the entire manufacturing process. This chapter discusses the role of IoT and its effect in Industry 4.0. Facilities of IoT in the manufacturing industry draw special attention in the reader's mind, which are the significant discussion of this chapter. It enables manufacturers to achieve greater efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality control. IoT can also help manufacturers to reduce waste, minimize downtime, and increase production flexibility. By providing real-time data and insights into the manufacturing process, IoT can help manufacturers make more informed decisions and improve overall performance.
