“…They are automating and intelligently managing logistics to make it more efficient and effective to satisfy the demands of an increasingly interconnected and real-time economy. This takes the lead and is compelled to act quicker to fulfil the expectations of their ecosystem stakeholders (Sangwan and Bhatia, 2020; Javaid et al , 2021).…”

“…Manufacturers can also use specially designed drones that smoothly interact with machinery and workers. Construction’s competitiveness is one of the reasons drones have taken off so rapidly (Beltrão and de Oliveira Pires, 2019; Fataliyev and Mehdiyev, 2020; Javaid et al , 2021). When it comes to job site assessment and analysis, firms that use this technology have the edge over less inventive others.…”

Purpose Unmanned aerial vehicles are commonly known as UAVs and drones. Nowadays, industries have begun to realise the operational and economic benefits of drone-enabled tasks. The Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, drones, etc., represent implementable advanced technologies intended to accomplish Industry 4.0. The purpose of this study is to discuss the significant contributions of drones for Industry 4.0. Design/methodology/approach Nowadays, drones are used for inspections, mapping and surveying in difficult or hazardous locations. For writing this paper, relevant research papers on drone for Industry 4.0 are identified from various research platforms such as Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate and ScienceDirect. Given the enormous extent of the topic, this work analyses many papers, reports and news stories in an attempt to comprehend and clarify Industry 4.0. Findings Drones are being implemented in manufacturing, entertainment industries (cinematography, etc.) and machinery across the world. Thermal-imaging devices attached to drones can detect variable heat levels emanating from a facility, trigger the sprinkler system and inform emergency authorities. Due partly to their utility and adaptability in industrial areas such as energy, transportation, engineering and more, autonomous drones significantly impact Industry 4.0. This paper discusses drones and their types. Several technological advances and primary extents of drones for Industry 4.0 are diagrammatically elaborated. Further, the authors identified and discussed 19 major applications of drones for Industry 4.0. Originality/value This paper’s originality lies in its discussion and exploration of the capabilities of drones for Industry 4.0, especially in manufacturing organisations. In addition to improving efficiency and site productivity, drones can easily undertake routine inspections and check streamlines operations and maintenance procedures. This work contributes to creating a common foundation for comprehending Industry 4.0 outcomes from many disciplinary viewpoints, allowing for more research and development for industrial innovation and technological progress.

“…It delivers the best platform for part-to-part breakdown, promoting flexibility and productivity whilst optimising and balancing production. Technology drives Industry 4.0, where people and process components are crucially relevant to digital production systems and supply networks (Schmidt et al, 2020;Deuse et al, 2020;Javaid et al, 2021a). Companies rely on humans to design, programme, operate, maintain and upgrade digital machines and robots; organisations still heavily rely on people to conceptualise, programme, control and keep running the automated machines and robots.…”

Purpose Over the past few decades, lean manufacturing has focussed on being customer-centred and now Lean 4.0 technologies have made it possible for manufacturers to have a deeper view of waste reduction. Technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, three-dimensional printing, robotics, real-time data, cloud computing, predictive analytics and augmented reality, are helpful to achieve Lean 4.0. This study aims to develop the conceptual understanding of Lean 4.0, related tools and linkage with Industry 4.0. Further, it provides the strategies for implementing Lean 4.0, developing lean culture and highlights the Lean 4.0 application in the manufacturing context. Design/methodology/approach This study relates to Lean 4.0 and its technologies. Prominent research is identified through Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar and studied as per the objective of this study. This lean revolution provides customers desire for personalisation, connectedness, high-quality and valuable products. Lean 4.0 provides valuable information on the value chain and production process. This revolution has significantly impacted refining production processes for a greater level of adaptability and cost reduction. Findings This paper is brief about Lean 4.0 and its capabilities for the reduction of waste. The authors discussed different tools used in Lean 4.0 and its relationship with Industry 4.0. The classical strategies and progressive features of Lean 4.0 for overall enhancing the manufacturing sphere are discussed diagrammatically. Finally, it identified and discussed 14 significant applications of Lean 4.0 for manufacturing industries. Originality/value This study provides a comprehensive understanding of Lean 4.0 and related tools and strategies that help the upcoming manufacturing industries.

“…For example, sensors are being used to track inventory from the manufacturing floor to a retail shelf or a customer’s door, i.e., asset tracking [ 1 ]. These types of interconnected systems constitute the so-called fourth industrial revolution, i.e., Industry 4.0, and are projected to lower manufacturing costs [ 2 ]. As the manufacturing industry moves toward these integrated technologies and lower costs, engineers will need to connect these systems via the Internet of Things (IoT) [ 2 ].…”

As the manufacturing industry moves toward these integrated technologies and lower costs, engineers will need to connect these systems via the Internet of Things (IoT) [ 2 ]. These engineers will also need to design connected systems that can efficiently and safely interact with humans during the manufacturing process, e.g., a car assembly line [ 3 ].…”
