Title: Transitioning from Industry 4.0 to 5.0: An Industrial IoT Prospective
Abstract:
The adoption of Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT), also known as Industry 4.0 has seen a significant growth in the last few years due to availability of massive computing power, innovations in the data-processing technology, and the advent of machine learning algorithms. This is most prominent in the manufacturing industry, where smart IoT-enabled smart manufacturing has supported to streamline business operations, optimized productivity, and improved Return on Investment.
As more Industries have adopted to such advanced automated mode of technology, this means Engineers working in this sector need to understand the systems and processes that contribute to the state-of-the art of Industry 4.0 as well become aware of the upcoming innovations that are in the horizon (i.e., Industry 5.0).
In this webinar, the presenter will be providing an in-depth discussion on the key components of Industrial IoT (i.e., Smart sensors, cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twin) as well as the key enablers that will help with the transition towards Industry 5.0 (Cobots, Virtual Reality, 5G, Mass Personalization) from the point-of-view of the Industrial IoT.
