Industry 4.0 is the latest phase in the industrial revolution and refers to the technology-intensive transformation of cyber and physical systems and their convergence. This transformation is characterized by the modern themes of interconnectivity, digitalization, and automation and is made possible through technological developments in fields such as Internet of Things (IoT), additive manufacturing, cloud computing, edge computing, analytics, robotics, cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML).
