In today’s competitive landscape, the manufacturing sector stands on the brink of a revolutionary transformation. The traditional factories of the past are giving way to smart, adaptive, and interconnected systems-ushered in by Industry 4.0. Often called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Industry 4.0 blends advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big...
In the era of Industry 4.0, manufacturing is no longer just about machines, labor, and materials-it’s about intelligent systems that blend the physical and digital worlds. At the core of this transformation lies the Cyber-Physical System (CPS), a powerful concept driving the emergence of smart manufacturing. CPS connects machines, computing, and real-time data to create...
