“…AGVs are used mainly for transporting or searching items throughout a factory, existing vehicles for specific industrial environments [116], [117], [118]. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have also become very popular in the last years and they have been used in multiple industrial environments [119], [120], [121], [122].…”

Industry 4.0 is a concept devised for improving the way modern factories operate through the use of some of the latest technologies, like the ones used for creating Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), robotics or Big Data applications. One of such technologies is blockchain, which is able to add trust, security and decentralization to different industrial fields. This article focuses on analyzing the benefits and challenges that arise when using blockchain and smart contracts to develop Industry 4.0 applications. In addition, this paper presents a thorough review on the most relevant blockchain-based applications for Industry 4.0 technologies. Thus, its aim is to provide a detailed guide for future Industry 4.0 developers that allows for determining how blockchain can enhance the next generation of cybersecure industrial applications.

“…UAVs connected to the infrastructure will play a critical role in this and their part in network relay connectivity and situational awareness will be essential [63]. An example of overlapping application domains is proposed in [73]: UAV-based gas monitoring to actively support evacuation measures (civil safety) in gas of a gas leak such as the one in Bhopal (disaster response) by continuously providing real-time measurements for the areas currently used as evacuation corridors.…”

“…UAVs are used in fire fighting [80] (e.g., heat source detection [96,97]), to locate victims [83] but also for the protection of personal [69]. Notable examples of the latter are the detection of radiation [100], the monitoring of forest-or wildfire [53,78] and to assist with evacuation [73,100].…”

“…As a disaster unfolds, immediate evacuation and mitigation efforts can be aided by UAVs, (e.g., [73]) proposes UAV-based gas monitoring to support evacuation measures while [100] discusses a UAV swarm-based radiation detection system. Such a swarm could monitor the development of poisonous/radioactive clouds in real-time.…”

“…UAVs are ideal suited for aerial surveillance [53,93] and tracking [78]. They are widely used for structural-monitoring [105] (and -inspection [104]), traffic-monitoring [53,68,78] (and -management [40]), environment monitoring [34,40,53,79,87] (e.g., for terrain [90] and vegetation [68,114] surveying, assessing ice/snow thickness [115] and ecosystem monitoring [68]), hazard monitoring (for e.g., gas [73], radiation [100] but also for wildfires [78] or forrest fires [53]) and weather monitoring [40], specifically atmospheric forecast [79] and wind [116].…”

The use of UAVs in areas ranging from agriculture over urban services to entertainment or simply as a hobby has rapidly grown over the last years. Regarding serious/commercial applications, UAVs have been considered in the literature, especially as mobile sensing/actuation platforms (i.e., as a delivery platform for an increasingly wide range of sensors and actuators). With regard to timely, cost-effective and very rich data acquisition, both, NEC Research as well as TNO are pursuing investigations into the use of UAVs and swarms of UAVs for scenarios where high-resolution requirements, prohibiting environments or tight time constraints render traditional approaches ineffective. In this review article, we provide a brief overview of safety and security-focused application areas that we identified as main targets for industrial and commercial projects, especially in the context of intelligent autonomous systems and autonomous/semi-autonomously operating swarms. We discuss a number of challenges related to the deployment of UAVs in general and to their deployment within the identified application areas in particular. As such, this article is meant to serve as a review and overview of the literature and the state-of-the-art, but also to offer an outlook over our possible (near-term) future work and the challenges that we will face there.
