Introduction
The era of Industry 4.0 (also known as the “fourth industrial revolution”) is upon us, and manufacturing companies worldwide are increasingly adopting automation, data exchange, and implementing new technologies, including cyber-physical systems, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, robotics, and advanced data analytics.
These innovations are fundamentally changing supply chain dynamics and creating new business opportunities for those manufacturing companies that can implement and utilize Industry 4.0 technologies through an integrated business planning and optimized decision-making platform.
