Industry 4.0 and Smartphone Use:

 

The growing digitalization of the world is a major factor driving the global industry 4.0 market. According to the World Economic Forum, 3 billion people use smartphones globally, with a 10 percent yearly growth rate. Industry 4.0 innovations such as IoT and voice assistants in smartphones give customers a wonderful shopping experience and help them decide whether or not to buy a product.

 

Industry 4.0's Rapid Growth in the Manufacturing Industry to Propel Market Growth:

 

Various industrial plants are implementing digital technologies as part of Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing industry to automate, upgrade, and modernise the entire process, hence boosting the plants' performance metrics. In the industrial industry, robot automation automates repetitive activities, reduces error margins to nominal levels, and frees up personnel to focus on more productive aspects of the operation. Manufacturing automation allows organisations to remain competitive on a global scale, providing a compelling and practical option to filling the skills gap. The global Industry 4.0 Market is likely to develop even faster as individuals become more aware of the benefits of embracing.

 

Lack of Security and skilled workers familiar with AI and IoT technologies:

 

Security is the missing growth component in the industry 4.0 market. Manufacturing is the second most targeted industry for attacks, according to the 2018 IBM-X Force Threat Intelligence Index. Industry 4.0 technologies are allowing hackers to assault manufacturers' data and infecting new systems to seize and vend confidential information due to a lack of protection.

 

Existing personnel will need to be trained on how to use new IoT and AI-enabled devices and software. While businesses are keen to adopt new technology, they are short on highly educated engineers and personnel who are familiar with AI and the Internet of Things.

 

Industry 4.0 Market Emerging Trends:

• Production Facility Opportunities - Industry 4.0 provides a number of opportunities for production facilities that use small batch and mixed manufacturing processes. Consumers can customise their products individually using this technique, and it also opens up new business opportunities for businesses in the industry 4.0 sector, such as a wider choice of contract options.

 

• Companies Shifting from B2B to B2B2C — Industry 4.0 offers a variety of benefits, including the ability to sell products directly to customers via e-commerce platforms. Price management, greater customer data, brand control, increased profit, and faster time delivery are some of the benefits provided by I4.0 in B2B2C. Secure payment, order fulfilment and tracking, sales, customer service management, and marketing are all included.

 

• Usage of Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality — Production line development, technical and engineering support, and inventory management are all examples of how virtual, augmented, and mixed reality is used in industry 4.0 manufacturing facilities.
