In recent years, the fields of industry and informatization have undergone profound changes and entered the “Industry 4.0 era”. As the representative of the future of the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 has evolved from an embedded system to a Cyber-Physical System (CPS). Advanced research has led to the adoption of the Internet of Things “IoT” concept in numerous industrial application scenarios, resulting in the so-called Industry 4.0 or Industrial Internet of Things, or “IIoT”.
Industry 4.0 aims to revolutionize business processes, industrial management and increase the productivity of manufacturing technology throughout data collection and analysis. In addition, businesses must be as “smart” as possible and adapt to the different nature of the digital supply chain. This can be achieved by using IoT in Industry 4.0 scenarios.
