Industry 4.0 has gained significance over the recent past for its potential to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and drive sustainability. Manufacturers are increasingly leveraging digital twins, autonomous systems, predictive analytics, robotics, edge computing, and AI to optimize industrial automation and operational efficiency. However, they struggle to find skilled talent for shop floor implementation, manage complex supply chains, integrate IT and OT systems, ensure cybersecurity, and meet customer expectations for agile and sustainable production.
