Abstract

Nowadays, a lot of places worldwide are using Industry 4.0 technology. Smart manufacturing, supply chains, warehousing, logistics, and materials are all developed with the usage of these technologies, especially in automobile sector. It can potentially resolve complex production issues from a commercial perspective. Industry 4.0 technologies that are available for enhancing manufacturing procedures and material quality of automobile industry are thoroughly examined in this article. In the upcoming era of vehicles, we have enumerated the several technologies that are currently available, together with their attributes and advantages for efficient management. Automobile businesses may optimise their inventory and material waste with the use of digital technologies, which lowers costs. When necessary, employees who are located on different sites can work together with ease due to remote collaboration. By helping them stay current with knowledge, these tools eventually close communication barriers. Proper equipment monitoring in industries utilising Industry 4.0 technology will be aided by smart predictive analysis. Early detection and resolution of material defects is possible with the help of these advance technologies. Additionally, this meets the customer's expectations and offers transparency in the systems and procedures.
