Abstract. “Industry4.0” describes the latest developments in automation and manufacturing. Industry 4.0 covers a wide range of topics, including industrial processes, competitive design, information management, and manufacturing process design. A few of the crucial technologies needed to produce the electronic and digital commodities used by Industry 4.0 are artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, digital twins, physical-cyber systems, and the Internet of Things. Industry 4.0 is built around nine technological pillars. These advancements create self-governing, sentient systems that connect the virtual and real worlds. organisations and supply chains are already using some of these cutting-edge technologies, but by combining them, organisations may be able to fully grasp the potential of Industry 4.0. These include low-cost marketing, ingenious manufacturing, and energy-efficient building. Industry 4.0 technology has the potential to help businesses become more sustainable. This article provides an overview of the advancements in automation and robotics technologies that led to Industry 4.0. Automation and robotics are widely acknowledged as crucial elements of industrial production and as the driving factors behind the development of Industry 4.0 by research centres, companies, and academic organisations. The objectives of this study are to review the corpus of literature on Industry 4.0 and find many instances of effective product production in this field.
