In this era of technology advancement and industrial modernization, the concepts introduced by the German promised a great benefits and widely unexplored opportunities for application in industries. Industry 4.0 concept is one of the heavily discussed topics for academic researcher and practitioners. In this era of consumerism, manufacturing industries are required to manufactured products and services of the highest quality in order to retain competitiveness in the consumers market. The concepts of Smart Factory, Cyber-Physical System as well as Internet of Things and Services offers very capable opportunities and also downside challenges for quality management in manufacturing sectors. Thus, this paper present and discussed the opportunities and challenges in implementation of Industry 4.0 for quality management which triggered by a practical insight of an electronic production and service company in Austria. The findings of the recent study challenges are formed by the three key characteristics of Industry 4.0 which are horizontal, vertical and end-to-end manufacturing integration.

The birth of mass production started in the early 1900s. The manufacturing industries were transformed from mechanization to digitalization with the help of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Now, the advancement of ICT and the Internet of Things has enabled smart manufacturing or Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 refers to the various technologies that are transforming the way we work in manufacturing industries such as Internet of Things, cloud, big data, AI, robotics, blockchain, autonomous vehicles, enterprise software, etc. Additionally, the Industry 4.0 concept refers to new production patterns involving new technologies, manufacturing factors, and workforce organization. It changes the production process and creates a highly efficient production system that reduces production costs and improves product quality. The concept of Industry 4.0 is relatively new; there is high uncertainty, lack of knowledge and limited publication about the performance measurement and quality management with respect to Industry 4.0. Conversely, manufacturing companies are still struggling to understand the variety of Industry 4.0 technologies. Industrial standards are used to measure performance and manage the quality of the product and services. In order to fill this gap, our study focuses on how the manufacturing industries use different industrial standards to measure performance and manage the quality of the product and services. This paper reviews the current methods, industrial standards, key performance indicators (KPIs) used for performance measurement systems in data-driven Industry 4.0, and the case studies to understand how smart manufacturing companies are taking advantage of Industry 4.0. Furthermore, this article discusses the digitalization of quality called Quality 4.0, research challenges and opportunities in data-driven Industry 4.0 are discussed.

The key work of this research is to implement the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ by using the internet of things (IoT) which can be applied to flammable gas condition monitoring and detection of gas leakage and activate fire extinguisher in case of fire accidents. Internet of things enabled the sensors to transmit LPG concentration value reading to the mobile app or cloud server and control actuators by connecting all in the same network. In case of a fire accident, the solenoid valve will be opened automatically or can be opened by an android application manually which will be pre-installed in mobile phones. Another advantage of this system is, the gas cylinder or flammable particle source can be closed by closing the solenoid valves attached to their outlets. The first challenge of industry 4.0 is to develop a cyber-physical system where all physical entities can be monitored and controlled over the internet or another way remotely or from a single point. This fire extinguisher system can be used everywhere and in all types of fire-fighting because all types of fire extinguishers are commercially available in cylinders where solenoid valves can be used instead of conventional valves. Use of robust automatic control system will eliminate the effort of human for continuous monitoring of LPG condition, leakage and in the activation of fire extinguishers by cyber-physical system.

Abstract In developed countries, the majority of manufacturing companies are moving to Industry 4.0 to stay competitive. But as far as concerning the developing countries there should be need of proper knowledge about the Industry 4.0. The findings of the survey are presented in this article for evaluating the readiness of manufacturing industries in Indian perspective to adopt Industry 4.0 innovations. Also, readiness factors were validated based on the benefits realized by manufacturing industries as a result of implementing Industry 4.0 technologies through the development of hypotheses. Besides, this survey is the first to examine Industry 4.0 adoption status in Indian manufacturing industries. According to the findings, readiness factors have a significant relationship with the benefits achieved through the implementation of Industry 4.0, and research agenda for the future are discussed.

AbstractThis work aims to review literature related to the latest cyber-physical systems (CPS) for manufacturing in the revolutionary Industry 4.0 for a comprehensive understanding of the challenges, approaches, and used techniques in this domain. Different published studies on CPS for manufacturing in Industry 4.0 paradigms through 2010 to 2019 were searched and summarized. We, then, analyzed the studies at a different granularity level inspecting the title, abstract, and full text to include in the prospective study list. Out of 626 primarily extracted relevant articles, we scrutinized 78 articles as the prospective studies on CPS for manufacturing in Industry 4.0. First, we analyzed the articles’ context to identify the major components along with their associated fine-grained constituents of Industry 4.0. Then, we reviewed different studies through a number of synthesized matrices to narrate the challenges, approaches, and used techniques as the key-enablers of the CPS for manufacturing in Industry 4.0. Although the key technologies of Industry 4.0 are the CPS, Internet of Things (IoT), and Internet of Services (IoS), the human component (HC), cyber component (CC), physical component (PC), and their HC-CC, CC-PC, and HC-PC interfaces need to be standardized to achieve the success of Industry 4.0.
