Industrial Internet, Smart Factory, Smart Buildings, Smart Manufacturing, Smart Farming.
1.1 Introduction:
Industry 4.0 has been defined as “a name for the current trend of automation and data
exchange in manufacturing technologies, including cyber-physical systems, the Internet of
things, cloud computing and cognitive computing and creating the smart factory”. Industry
4.0 refers to the rapid pace of digitization in manufacturing today. For generations,
manufacturing processes and techniques have evolved and helped businesses improve their
production, performance and output.
Evolution of I1.0:
• The First Industrial Revolution was marked by a transition from hand production
methods to machines through the use of steam power and water power.
2
• The implementation of new technologies took a long time, so the period which this
refers to it is between 1760 and 1820, or 1840 in Europe and the United States.
• Its effects had consequences on textile manufacturing, which was first to adopt such
changes, as well as iron industry, agriculture, and mining although it also had societal
effects with an ever stronger middle class.
Evolution of I2.0:
• The Second Industrial Revolution, also known as the Technological Revolution, is the
period between 1871 and 1914 that resulted from installations of extensive railroad and
telegraph networks, which allowed for faster transfer of people and ideas, as well as
electricity.
• Increasing electrification allowed for factories to develop the modern production line
Evolution of I3.0:
• The Third Industrial Revolution, also known as the Digital Revolution, occurred in the
late 20th century, after the end of the two world wars, resulting from a slowdown of
industrialization and technological advancement compared to previous periods.
• The production of the Z1 computer, which used binary floating-point numbers and
Boolean logic, a decade later, was the beginning of more advanced digital
developments.
• The next significant development in communication technologies was the
supercomputer, with extensive use of computer and communication technologies in the
production process; machinery began to abrogate the need for human power.
Evolution to I4.0:
• The term "Industrie 4.0", shortened to I4.0 or simply I4, originated in 2011 from a
project in the high-tech strategy of the German government, which promotes the
computerization of manufacturing
• The Fourth Industrial Revolution (or Industry 4.0) is the ongoing automation of
traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, using modern smart technology.
• Large-scale machine-to-machine communication (M2M) and the internet of things
(IoT) are integrated for increased automation, improved communication and self-
3
monitoring, and production of smart machines that can analyze and diagnose issues
without the need for human intervention.
Benefits of Industry4.0:
• Higher Productivity
• Agile Processes
• Rapid Innovation
• Reduced Costs
• Increased Revenues
• Better workplace
• Improved Communication
• Customer Satisfaction
4
• There are hundreds of concepts and terms that relate to IIoT and Industry 4.0,
but here are 12 foundational words and phrases to know
• IoT: IoT stands for Internet of Things, a concept that refers to connections
between physical objects like sensors or machines and the Internet.
• IIoT: IIoT stands for the Industrial Internet of Things, a concept that refers to
the connections between people, data, and machines as they relate to manufacturing.
• Big data: Big data refers to large sets of structured or unstructured data that can
be compiled, stored, organized, and analyzed to reveal patterns, trends, associations,
and opportunities.
• Smart factory: A smart factory is one that invests in and leverages Industry 4.0
technology, solutions, and approaches.
• Machine learning: Machine learning refers to the ability that computers have to
learn and improve on their own through artificial intelligence—without being
explicitly told or programmed to do so.
5
• Ecosystem: An ecosystem, in terms of manufacturing, refers to the potential
connectedness of your entire operation—inventory and planning, financials,
customer relationships, supply chain management, and manufacturing execution.

3. Asset tracking and optimization—Industry 4.0 solutions help manufacturers become
more efficient with assets at each stage of the supply chain, allowing them to keep a
better pulse on inventory, quality, and optimization opportunities relating to logistics.
With IoT in place at a factory, employees can get better visibility into their assets
worldwide. Standard asset management tasks such as asset transfers, disposals,
reclassifications, and adjustments can be streamlined and managed centrally and in real
time.The point of reviewing these use cases is to help you imagine and start thinking
about how smart manufacturing could be integrated into your own organization. How
do you actually decide if Industry 4.0 is right for you
Industry 4.0 spans the entire product life cycle and supply chain— design, sales, inventory,
scheduling, quality, engineering, and customer and field service. Everyone shares
informed, up-to-date, relevant views of production and business processes—and much
richer and more timely analytics.
1.It makes you more competitive, especially against disruptors like Amazon: As companies
like Amazon continue to optimize logistics and supply chain management, you need to be
7
investing in technology and solutions that help you improve and optimize your own
operation. To stay competitive, you have to have the systems and processes in place to
allow you to provide the same level of service (or better) to your customers and clients that
they could be getting from a company like Amazon.
2.It makes you more attractive to the younger workforce: Companies that invest in modern,
innovative Industry 4.0 technologies are better positioned to attract and retain new workers.
3.It makes your team stronger and more collaborative: Companies that invest in Industry
4.0 solutions can increase efficiency, boost collaboration between departments, enable
predictive and prescriptive analytics, and allow people including operators, managers, and
executives to more fully leverage real-time data and intelligence to make better decisions
while managing their day-to-day responsibilities.
4.It allows you to address potential issues before they become big problems: Predictive
analytics, real-time data, internet-connected machinery, and automation can all help you be
more proactive when it comes to addressing and solving potential maintenance and supply
chain management issues.
5.It allows you to trim costs, boost profits, and fuel growth:
Industry 4.0 technology helps you manage and optimize all aspects of your manufacturing
processes and supply chain. It gives you access to the real-time data and insights you need
to make smarter, faster decisions about your business, which can ultimately boost the
efficiency and profitability of your entire operation.
There are many ways to refer to modern agriculture. For example, AgriTech refers to the
application of technology in agriculture in general. Smart agriculture, on the other hand, is
mostly used to denote the application of IoT solutions in agriculture. So what is smart
agriculture using IoT? By using IoT sensors to collect environmental and machine metrics,
farmers can make informed decisions, and improve just about every aspect of their work –
from livestock to crop farming.For example, by using smart agriculture sensors to monitor
the state of crops, farmers can define exactly how many pesticides and fertilizers they have
to use to reach optimal efficiency. The same applies to the smart farming definition.
8
Although smart agriculture IoT, as well as industrial IoT in general, aren’t as popular
as consumer connected devices; yet the market is still very dynamic. The adoption of IoT
solutions for agriculture is constantly growing. Namely, COVID-19 has had a positive
impact on IoT in the agriculture market share.
In fact, as per recent reports, the smart framing market share is set to reach $6.2 billion
by 2021. At the same time, the global smart agriculture market size is expected to triple by
2025, reaching $15.3 billion (compared to being slightly over $5 billion back in 2016).
Because the market is still developing, there is still ample opportunity for businesses
willing to join in. Building IoT products for agriculture within the coming years can set you
apart as an early adopter, and as such, help you pave the way to success.
Technologies and IoT have the potential to transform agriculture in many aspects. Namely,
there are 5 ways IoT can improve agriculture:
1)Data, tons of data, collected by smart agriculture sensors, e.g. weather conditions, soil
quality, crop’s growth progress or cattle’s health. This data can be used to track the state of
your business in general as well as staff performance, equipment efficiency, etc.
2)Better control over the internal processes and, as a result, lower production risks. The
ability to foresee the output of your production allows you to plan for better product
distribution. If you know exactly how much crops you are going to harvest, you can make
sure your product won’t lie around unsold.
3)Cost management and waste reduction thanks to the increased control over the
production. Being able to see any anomalies in the crop growth or livestock health, you
will be able to mitigate the risks of losing your yield.
4)Increased business efficiency through process automation. By using smart devices, you
can automate multiple processes across your production cycle, e.g. irrigation, fertilizing, or
pest control.
5)Enhanced product quality and volumes. Achieve better control over the production
process and maintain higher standards of crop quality and growth capacity through
automation.
9
Things to consider before developing your smart farming:
1. The hardware
2. The brain
3. The maintenance
4. The mobility
5. The infrastructure
6. Connectivity
A smart city is the one that uses information and communication technologies (ICT) to
increase operational efficiency, share information with the public and improve both the
quality of government services and citizen welfare. Smart cities use intelligent solutions
to optimize infrastructure and smart and responsive governance to engage citizens in the
management of their city. A system of sensors, networks, and applications collect useful
data, like traffic congestion, energy use, and CO2 levels.
• The purpose of the Smart Cities Mission is to drive economic growth and improve the
quality of life of people by enabling local area development and harnessing technology,
especially technology that leads to Smart outcomes.
• Smart cities use Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as connected sensors, lights, and
meters to collect and analyze data. The cities then use this data to improve
infrastructure, public utilities and services, and more.
10
Features of Smart Cities:
11
during operation to connect a variety of subsystems, which typically operate
independently, so that these systems can share information to optimize total building
performance.
• Smart buildings look beyond the building equipment within their four walls.
• CO monitoring.
• Electrical usage.
• Fire detection.
• Lighting control.
• Occupancy.
12
the evolutions of the latest technologies in terms of connected means of production during
the manufacturing process. In other words, it is a question of setting up systems in factories in
which the machines are connected to each other, but also and above all to the Internet in order
to ensure optimal and scalable control of production processes. It merges physical system and
virtual system In a work environment that applies the principles of Smart Manufacturing, we
seek to automate as many operations as possible so that they are carried out with maximum
efficiency. The objective is to have them carried out more quickly, guaranteeing quality
and profitability at a lower cost.
To do this, the central element of the type of organization is data analysis; collected directly
from the equipment, it is digitally analyzed to enable the right decisions to be made and
readjustments made to improve and optimize manufacturing performance. Intelligent
manufacturing is one of the applications of the IoT, or more specifically of the IIOT, which is
the Industrial Internet of Things.
13
on the other hand, from improvements made possible by increasingly powerful simulation
and projection digital tools
The information (temperatures, speeds, fluid levels, volumes of raw materials used, etc.)
collected by the sensors fitted to the machines are screened by specialists and digital
officers such as data scientists. The latter analyses them using software specific to
production process and planning.
This not only makes it easier and faster to detect sources of error, disruption, poor quality
or slowness but also allows them to use this information to simulate processes and improve
work instructions with any necessary modifications.
In recent years, with the emerging technologies, we have also seen the deployment of
machines equipped with artificial intelligence that literally allow them to learn. They are
thus able to learn from past operations themselves to readjust their behaviour. This is called
machine learning.
This intelligent manufacturing is only possible if there are people such as technicians,
behind to control this automation. To do this, they need digital and connected work
instructions that can be accessed via high –tech tools such as tablets or connected glasses
14
communicating important information that can be used to drive business decisions faster and
more accurately.The IIoT encompasses industrial applications, including robotics, medical
devices, and software-defined production processes.
The convergence of IT and OT provides industries with greater system integration in terms of
automation and optimization, as well as better visibility of the supply chain and logistics. The
monitoring and control of physical infrastructures in industrial operations, such as in
agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and utilities, are made easier through the
use of smart sensors and actuators as well as remote access and control.
15
Real-time data from sensors and other information sources helps industrial devices and
infrastructures in their “decision-making,”
Machines are further enabled to take on and automate tasks that previous industrial revolutions
could not handle. In a broader context, the IIoT is crucial to use cases related to connected
ecosystems or environments, such as how cities become smart cities and factories become
smart factories.
The consistent capturing and transmitting of data among smart devices and machines provide
industries and enterprises with many growth opportunities. The data allows industries and
enterprises to pick up on errors or inefficiencies in the supply chain, for example, and
immediately address them, thus pushing for day-to-day efficiency in operations and finance.
Proper integration of the IIoT can also optimize the use of assets, predict points of failure, and
even trigger maintenance processes autonomously.
What are the security considerations and challenges in adopting the IIoT?
availability,
scalability,
security.
Availability and scalability may already be second nature to industrial operations, since
they could already have been established or in the business for quite some time. Security,
however, is where many can stumble when integrating the IIoT into their operations. For
one thing, many businesses still use legacy systems and processes
Also, the proliferation of smart devices has given rise to security vulnerabilities and the
concern of security accountability. IIoT adopters have the de facto responsibility of
securing the setup and use of their connected devices, but device manufacturers have the
obligation of protecting their consumers when they roll out their products.

2. INDUSTRY 5.0
Evolution from Industry 1.0 to 5.0, Introduction to Industry 5.0, Globalization and Emerging
Issues, LEAN Production Systems, Smart and Connected Business Perspective, Smart
Factories, Healthcare and Human computer interactions, Next Generation Sensors,
Collaborative Platform and Product Lifecycle Management, Big Data and Advanced Analysis.
The modern industry has seen great advances since its earliest iteration at the beginning of
the industrial revolution in the 18th century. For centuries, most of the goods including
weapons, tools, food, clothing and housing, were manufactured by hand or by using work
animals. This changed in the end of the 18th century with the introduction of manufacturing
processes. The progress from Industry 1.0 was then rapid uphill climb leading up to the
upcoming industrial era – Industry 4.0. Here we discuss the overview of this evolution.
The late 18th century introduced mechanical production facilities to the world. Water and
steam powered machines were developed to help workers in the mass production of goods. The
first weaving loom was introduced in 1784. With the increase in production efficiency and
scale, small businesses grew from serving a limited number of customers to large organizations
2
with owners, manager and employees serving a larger number. Industry 1.0 can also be deemed
as the beginning of the industry culture which focused equally on quality, efficiency and scale.
The beginning of 20th century marked the start of the second industrial revolution –
Industry 2.0. The main contributor to this revolution was the development of machines running
on electrical energy. Electrical energy was already being used as a primary source of power.
Electrical ma- chines were more efficient to operate and maintain, both in terms of cost and
effort unlike the water and steam based machines which were comparatively inefficient and
resource hungry. The first assembly line was also built during this era, further streamlining the
process of mass production. Mass production of goods using assembly line became a standard
practice.
This era also saw the evolution of the industry culture introduced in Industry 1.0 into
management program to enhance the efficiency of manufacturing facilities. Various production
management techniques such as division of labor, just-in-time manufacturing and lean
manufacturing principles refined the underlying processes leading to improved quality and
output. American mechanical engineer Fredrick Taylor introduced the study of approached to
optimize worker, workplace techniques and optimal allocation of resources.
The next industrial revolution resulting in Industry 3.0 was brought about and spurred by
the advances in the electronics industry in the last few decades of the 20th century. The
invention and manufacturing of a variety electronic devices including transistor and integrated
circuits auto- mated the machines substantially which resulted in reduced effort, increased
speed, greater accuracy and even complete replacement of the human agent in some cases.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), which was first built in 1960s was one of the landmark
invention that signified automation using electronics. The integration of electronics hardware
into the manufacturing systems also created a requirement of software systems to enable these
electronic devices, consequentially fueling the software development market as well. Apart
from controlling the hardware, the software systems also enabled many management processes
such as enterprise resource planning, inventory management, shipping logistics, product flow
scheduling and tracking throughout the factory. The entire industry was further automated
using electronics and IT. The automation processes and software systems have continuously
evolved with the advances in the electronics and IT industry since then. The pressure to further
3
reduce costs forced many manufacturers to move to low-cost countries. The dispersion of
geographical location of manufacturing led to the formation of the concept of Supply Chain
Management.
The Industry 4.0 using Cyber Physical Systems to share, analyze and guide intelligent
actions for various processes in the industry to make the machines smarter. These smart
machines can continuously monitor, detect and predict faults to suggest preventive measures
and remedial action. This allows better preparedness and lower downtime for industries. The
same dynamic approach can be translated to other aspects in the industry such as logistics,
production scheduling, optimization of throughput times, quality control, capacity utilization
and efficiency boosting. CPPs also allow an industry to be completely virtually visualized,
monitored and managed from a remote location and thus adding a new dimension to the
manufacturing process. It puts machines,people, processes and infrastructure into a single
networked loop making the overall management highly efficient.
2.1.5 Industry 5.0
Industry 5.0 is a new production model where the focus lies on the interaction between
humans and machines. Industry 5.0 takes the next step, which involves leveraging the
collaboration between increasingly powerful and accurate machinery and the unique creative
potential of the human being. The changes set in motion by Industry 5.0 are already irreversible.
This process offers companies the abilities of increasingly powerful machines in combination
with better-trained experts to foster an effective, sustainable and safe production.
4
Figure 2.1 Evolution from I 1.0 to I 5.0
Industry 5.0 is not a fad, but rather a new way of understanding manufacturing that has
productive, economic and commercial consequences. Therefore, companies that do not tailor
their production to the factory 5.0 model will soon become obsolete, being unable to benefit
from the competitive advantages that it has to offer.
Not only that: the rate of technological acceleration is increasingly faster and shows that
the emergence of new paradigms never stops. For this reason, adjusting the processes of each
company and transforming them into the concept of digital industry will be vital in
guaranteeing that an organization remains competitive.
2.2 Introduction to Industry 5.0
Currently in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution. A new technological and economic
vision that propels us forward. But one thing still needs to be examined – how is this revolution
affecting human lives and jobs. With more and more automation, workers are asking themselves if
they will be replaced by machines completely. While Industry 4.0 was an initiative introduced by the
German government in 2011 to promote smart manufacturing for the future, Industry 5.0 is an idea
and a vision promoted by the European Union that aims to go beyond efficiency and productivity as
the main goal. Industry 4.0 is the revolution of connectivity. A digital transformation that connects us
through “smart” technologies like cyber-physical systems, the cloud, artificial intelligence, and the
internet of things. Much less effort and focus have been given to issues of sustainability, and the effect
of this revolution on people’s lives.
5
Figure 2.2 Highlights of Industry 5.0 compared to Industry 4.0
Industry 5.0 describes a new outlook on how the industry can add value to society, and how it
can be used to better our lives. It is an extension of Industry 4.0. It is a vision of human-robot
cooperation, co-working, and sustainability A way of using smart manufacturing, automation, and
robotics, not only to benefit the industry, but also the workers, and society as a whole. But, in order to
reach this vision, many companies still need to join Industry 4.0 and connect their industrial machines.
A human-centered approach to manufacturing and selling products and produce is the proposition
here. A reciprocal relationship between a human and a computer is at the heart of this kind of
humanistic intelligence – the computer is not totally separate from the human, but it is rather a “second
brain”. The same goes in reverse – the human is viewed as a peripheral for the computer.
The problems that Industry 5.0 can address are pollution, health care, sustainable manufacturing,
power consumption and management, and more. Just imagine, with the current technology, and the
infrastructure of cities in place, we can successfully manage traffic flow better, enable efficient
recycling programs, produce food locally, and add more energy sustainable power sources. The quality
of life for everyone within this improved Industry 5.0 environment would grow to new heights.
6
Figure 2.3 Industry 5.0
Some key challenges in manufacturing after realization of Industry 4.0 potential are lack of a
clear digital vision, fostering a strong digital culture, data security, Level of digitization, a lack
of data analytical capabilities, lack of standardization, prevalence of proprietary standards is
going to be a key.
The difficulty in launching Industry 5.0 initiatives is that there is often a lack of direction when
it comes to establishing objectives. They are often cross-functional projects with many
stakeholders, which can mean projects can become mired in conflicting goals, and may simply
sputter out.

2.3.2 Barriers to digital transformation
Outdated processes:
9
Where does your organization sit on change? Most employees are so entrenched in
traditional processes of daily duties that, when the time comes to improve processes and
incorporate new technology, they resist. They see change management as a challenge to their
roles/responsibilities, at best, and a threat to their job security, at worst. To deal with this,
organizations should partner with technology companies that don’t merely focus on a software
implementation and disappear. Software vendors that understand the correlation between user
adoption and ROI will bring Organizational Change Management (OCM) best practices either
through their implementation competencies or within their productized solutions via
gamification, leader boards and in build end-user training and certifications.
Organizations have become very comfortable with their legacy systems. They need to
leave this comfort zone, revamp their business model, and proceed ahead for more efficient
and faster time-to-market digital solutions that use cloud, mobile, smart wearables and APIs to
connect to anything and everything. To achieve this, organizations should consider best in class
connected worker platforms that have a long term vision of the world where they focus on
productivity, safety, compliance, analytics, autonomous models and powered by a unique code-
free platform to support rapid scaling of their strategy and software.
Upskilling employees:
Most of the front-line workers in asset-intensive industries are baby-boomers who are
non-tech-savvy. They need a well-designed, intuitive digital solution that will increase
productivity and engagement while minimizing training time. Mobile solutions encourage
employees to perform business transactions on the fly. This mobility enables real-time
transaction processing, improves data accuracy, and increases convenience.
Lack of automation:
10
To achieve digital transformation and connected worker strategy goals, organizations need to
define their digital strategy and methodically transform their business functions, including
front-line operations. Forward-looking companies are turning to mobile technologies, smart
glasses, AI/ML with superior user experience to increase employee productivity, sales
revenues, and digitize redundant paper-based processes.
11
Lean production focuses on stripping waste out of business processes and flowing product or
information through faster with less waiting and holds ups. By removing this waste, you can get more
done with no or little extra people and resource, thus improving efficiency. Three categories of loss are
tracked: down time, slow cycles and rejects. This lean technique establishes a baseline and gives you a
means to track progress in eliminating waste from a manufacturing process.
Lean manufacturing improves efficiency, reduces waste, and increases productivity. The
benefits, therefore, are manifold: Increased product quality: Improved efficiency frees up employees
and resources for innovation and quality control that would have previously been wasted.
12
Figure 2.9 LEAN Manufacturing
13
Figure 2.11 5S Explanation
Wasting Waste
The first goal is to take all the unnecessary and costly parts in a company. The waste needs to
be taken out and shed.
For Lean Manufacturing, waste is something that takes away resources, costs, and time without
adding anything of value.
Quality Improvement
The idea is that customers have ever changing wants and needs.
They should continuously strive to improve in order to keep up with the demands of the client.
One way to do so is to always strive to improve the quality of a product or service being offered.
14
Time is one of the most important resources.
It applies to all people and even businesses. The Lean Manufacturing methodology
acknowledges this.
People who run and operate businesses should always strive to speed up how long it takes to
finish projects.
The five principles are considered a recipe for improving workplace efficiency and include:
1) defining value
2) mapping the value stream
3) creating flow
4) using a pull system
5) pursuing perfection
15
2.4.1 Smart Factories
The smart factory is a concept used to describe the application of different combinations of modern
technologies to create a hyperflexible, self-adapting manufacturing capability. ... Smart factory
initiatives might also be referred to as “digital factory” or “intelligent factory.”
Concept deriving from IIoT that envisages a production environment as a fully automatized and
intelligent network of systems that enables facilities, machines and logistics chains within the
manufacturing plant to be managed without human intervention.
A smart factory is a highly digitalized and networked manufacturing plant. It is based on smart
manufacturing with the aim of creating production facilities that are completely self-organizing and
optimized. They include manufacturing plants as well as logistics systems, planning environments, and
product development. The defining characteristics of the smart factory are visibility, connectivity and
autonomy. Factories have long relied on automation, but smart factories take this concept much further
and are able to run without much human intervention. A smart factory is a digitised manufacturing
facility that uses connected devices, machinery and production systems to continuously collect and
share data. This data is then used to inform decisions to improve processes as well as address any issues
that may arise.
Smart factories optimize efficiency and productivity by extending the capabilities of both
manufacturing devices and people. ... By continuously improving the productivity of manufacturing
processes, smart factories can lower costs, reduce downtime and minimize waste. While terms such as
smart factory and smart manufacturing are globally used, smart industry is more used in specific
countries and essentially is a synonym of Industry 5.0, which in turn is also known as Industrial Internet
or Industrial Internet of Things.
The Smart Factory is a concept for expressing the end goal of digitization in manufacturing. The way
the term is most commonly used, a Smart Factory is a highly digitized shop floor that continuously
collects and shares data through connected machines, devices, and production systems. The data can
then be used by self-optimizing devices or across the organization to proactively address issues,
improve manufacturing processes and respond to new demands. Various technologies such as AI, Big
Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, and Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) have made smart
manufacturing practices fully comprehensive. By connecting the physical and digital world, smart
factories can monitor the entire production process, from manufacturing tools and the supply chain to
individual operators on the shop floor.
16
When fully realized, Smart factories use fully integrated, collaborative manufacturing systems to make
operations flexible, adaptable, and optimizable.
Wireless sensor networks is connecting the machines, tooling, materials or any production
surfaces, like conveyor belts all the assets involved in the manufacturing processes can be
traced in real time granting their full visibility to the operators throughout the whole production
chain.

2.5.1 Industrial IoT (IIoT)
Industrial IoT refers to interconnected devices, machines, and/or processes that are linked by data
communication systems to facilitate the exchange and the use of data between people and machines.
Typically, these instruments have sensors that collect meaningful data points on a cloud or off-line
database for tracking and identifying ways to improve the manufacturing process. Industrial IoT enables
operational efficiency, control, and visibility into actionable key metrics.
besides the famous Amazon warehouse robot, robotics also include collaborative robots.
“Cobots” are designed to work alongside their human operators, who “teach” them what to do and in
what order
Automation is constantly improving as well, in every sector from the auto industry and plastics, to food
and consumer goods
The IoT is the potentially giant network of computers, machines and systems that “talk” to each other
through exchange of data over the Internet
One example of the IoT at work is the smart home, with appliances, HVAC systems and security
systems all connected to each other and controlled remotely from your device
19
Health care is the maintenance or improvement of health via the prevention, diagnosis, treatment,
amelioration, or cure of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in people.
Concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human
use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them multidisciplinary field of study focusing
on the design of computer technology and, in particular, the interaction between humans (the users) and
computers. computer science and software engineering as well as ergonomics, graphic and industrial
design, sociology, anthropology and educational sciences.
• the user
• Task
• tools / interface
• the context
20
Humans interact with computers through a user interface. This includes software, such as what
is displayed on the computer monitor, and hardware, such as the mouse, keyboard and other peripheral
devices. In a corporate or factory setting, a poor user interface could have more severe consequences.
A sensor is a device that detects the change in the environment and responds to some output on
the other system. A sensor converts a physical phenomenon into a measurable analog voltage (or
sometimes a digital signal) converted into a human-readable display or transmitted for reading or further
processing. Sensors are used to measure temperature, gauge distance, detect smoke, regulate pressure
and a myriad of other uses. Because analog signals are continuous, they can account for the slightest
change in the physical variable (such as temperature or pressure).
We live in a World of Sensors. You can find different types of Sensors in our homes, offices,
cars etc. working to make our lives easier by turning on the lights by detecting our presence, adjusting
the room temperature, detect smoke or fire, make us delicious coffee, open garage doors as soon as our
car is near the door and many other tasks. All these and many other automation tasks are possible
because of Sensors.

2.8 Collaborative Platform and Product Lifecycle Management
Product lifecycle management (PLM) refers to the management of data and processes used in
the design, engineering, manufacturing, sales, and service of a product across its entire lifecycle
and across the supply chain. It refers to a software solution. A broader use case beyond just the
manufacturing process.
Introduction: Costly and risky, new products that are introduced to the market can mean low
sales, as well as costs from research and development, consumer reaction, and marketing.
Growth: The product gains popularity and sales and profits grow. Marketing increases to
maximize benefit.Maturity: Product popularity dictates more focused marketing as well as
future predictions for product improvements or changes to the production process.
Decline: An inevitable end, decline in product popularity happens with increased competition,
or lack of customer return. Companies focus on reducing production costs and introduction to

2.9 Big Data and Advanced Analysis
Big data analytics is the use of advanced analytic techniques against very large, diverse
data sets that include structured, semi-structured and unstructured data, from different sources,
and in different sizes from terabytes to zettabytes.
There are various types of tools that may fall under the umbrella of Big Data Analytics
or serve to improve the process of analyzing data: data storage and management, data cleaning,
data mining, data analysis, data visualization, data integration, and data collection.
The Five Key Types of Big Data Analytics Every Business Analyst Should Know
• Prescriptive Analytics
• Diagnostic Analytics
• Descriptive Analytics
• Predictive Analytics
• Cyber Analytics
Big data analytics is the often complex process of examining big data to uncover
information -- such as hidden patterns, correlations, market trends and customer preferences -
- that can help organizations make informed business decisions.
On a broad scale, data analytics technologies and techniques give organizations a way
to analyze data sets and gather new information. Business intelligence (BI) queries answer
basic questions about business operations and performance.
Big data analytics is a form of advanced analytics, which involve complex applications
with elements such as predictive models, statistical algorithms and what-if analysis powered
by analytics systems.
2.9.1 Overview of the four steps of the big data analytics process:
25
Data professionals collect data from a variety of different sources. Often, it is a mix of
semi structured and unstructured data. While each organization will use different data streams,
some common sources include:
Data is prepared and processed. After data is collected and stored in a data warehouse
or data lake, data professionals must organize, configure and partition the data properly for
analytical queries. Thorough data preparation and processing makes for higher performance
from analytical queries.
Data is cleansed to improve its quality. Data professionals scrub the data using scripting
tools or data quality software. They look for any errors or inconsistencies, such as duplications
or formatting mistakes, and organize and tidy up the data.
The collected, processed and cleaned data is analyzed with analytics software. This
includes tools for:
• data mining, which sifts through data sets in search of patterns and relationships
• predictive analytics, which builds models to forecast customer behavior and
other future actions, scenarios and trends
• machine learning, which taps various algorithms to analyze large data sets
• deep learning, which is a more advanced offshoot of machine learning
• text mining and statistical analysis software
• artificial intelligence (AI)
• mainstream business intelligence software
• data visualization tools

Digital transformation
However, 48% of leaders in mid-sized businesses are still only planning their
transformation for a digital future. How do we go from planning to doing?
It can be broadly defined as the integration of the latest, tried-and-tested digital tech to
improve all areas of the business as well as the inherent operational processes, all in an effort
to provide greater value to prospective customers. This includes using the best digital
2
practices and employing new skills and talents to optimize business for the digital future.
However, digital transformation also mandates a cultural shift of sorts as businesses become
more agile and deploy intelligent ways to getting things done, usually powered by automation
and powerful analytics to guide the way
As digital transformation has touched every aspect of a business, there are several
reasons why it is vital for an organization. This is why 89% of companies have already adopted
a digital business strategy or plan to do so.
Even though digital transformation is gaining ground among small and mid-sized
businesses, there's only a small number of companies investing in it effectively. This shows
that many companies are struggling to evolve and are operating their businesses through
outdated systems.But what they fail to realize is that their potential customers have access to
advanced tech that they can wield to find better digital opportunities. Moreover, B2B
businesses are also using digital channels to their advantage.Adapting a digital setup can help
your business get a competitive advantage that drives growth and empowers you to come up to
par with your customer’s expectations.
Digital technology can introduce your business to robust and reliable software that
reduces risk and chances of failure. Additionally, digital transformation ensures maximum
security for your business, which means protecting your company's valuable data and important
customer information.
Businesses these days are only as good as the data they use to make decisions. Giving
yourself and your teams access to the data collected through tools like a customer management
system or a content management system means you can leverage it to guide your strategy. With
the right digital tools it has become easier than ever to gather data, analyze it, and find valuable
insights.
3
(d)Data-Driven Insights
Data analysis has become a specialized field for many businesses that hire experts to
help them find meaning in statistics and numbers. Through these insights, companies can
optimize their strategies and streamline their processes for better results. These data-driven
insights help businesses better understand their customers to execute personalized strategies
while enabling real-time feedback and business agility. Thus, the role of digital business
processes in offering data-driven insights must not be underestimated, as this can lead to a
higher ROI.
If you have decided to take your small or mid-sized business on the journey of digital
transformation, you need to assess the challenges you might face and the strategies that you
can employ to remain firm in the face of these challenges.
One of the biggest challenges of driving digital transformation for your business is the
lack of skill sets that can help you embrace the technological shift. Since digital transformation
involves introducing emerging technologies and significant changes in business processes,
your employees might not have the skill sets to adapt to these changes.
A Deloitte's analysis shows that almost half of the small and mid-sized businesses have
reported at least one challenge related to the lack of skills or employee training. To drive digital
transformation, small and mid-sized businesses need to adopt employee training and skilling
programs that introduce the employees to the latest digital tools.
4
(b).Ignorance Of Digital Security
The technologies associated with digital transformation offer several advantages, but
they come with their security risks. This is why small and mid-sized businesses need to secure
their network's endpoints through strict security measures. Another target in ensuring the
security of your digital processes is training and educating the users about security practices
that reduce the chances of malware risks.
Another challenge includes keeping your business up to speed with the constant digital
landscape transformations. Also, many small businesses fail to realize the need to change their
company culture to support agile transformation.
To counter this challenge, you need to instill a transformative vision in the core of your
company culture. Moreover, it also means standing firm in the face of failures and leveraging
digital tools to experiment in profitable avenues to drive business value.
Customer experiences have been termed as the key differentiator between your business
and your competitors'. Companies do not get the time to provide the ultimate customer
experience, especially if they do not use digital tools in this technology age.
Thus, the key to eliminating this challenge is to wield technology that assists in offering
the best customer experiences that keep your customers around for long.
(e )Legacy Architecture
Some businesses rely on their age-old business processes and digital tools until now, but
these legacy systems prove to be a burden rather than an asset.
To embrace digital transformation, small and mid-sized businesses need to shun their
legacy systems at the right time to make their name in the digital world.
As is the case with every concept and trend, a number of myths have risen around the idea of
digital transformation. Below we tell you how much truth there is to those myths.
5
There is much skepticism in relation to this concept among many. These people compare
it to yet another technological bubble, such as the dotcom bubble of the year 2000.
In reality, digital transformation is a trend that is here to stay, and only in Spain it will
imply a gross increase of 120 billion Euros in the Spanish economy by the year 2025, according
to the “Spain 4.0” report by Roland Berger.
It is often believed that the person that must take charge of an organization’s
digitalization process is the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) – this is not completely try.
It is true that within the process, the opinion of this person carries a lot of weight, but
the CTO should not be the top authority in regard to its implementation, since digitalization is
a cross-cutting process that encompasses every department in a company. It isn’t just reserved
to a few tech enthusiasts.
While it is true that digitalization in companies helps improve the user experience, this
is not the main advantage when compared to other operational approaches.
The Mckinsey consulting firm measured the benefits that digital transformation offers
companies. According to this firm, companies that start implementing this process manage to
increase their turnover by 20% and reduce costs by 36%. As we can see, the greatest benefit
for companies is a higher efficiency.
Far from what some people think, digitalization has nothing to do with a company’s
balance. It is related to a shift in culture and a new way of doing business.
Digitalization allows companies both large and small to streamline and simplify their
processes. Two benefits that any type of organization can enjoy.
This myth has become widespread because one of the advantages of digital
transformation is putting the end customer at the core of the business. In this belief, it is
common for some to claim that this process is not valid for B2B businesses.
6
However, this is not completely true, since digitalization also benefits the company by
optimizing processes and increasing efficiency – two facts that are completely compatible
with B2B and B2C businesses.
This phrase is another very popular myth nowadays among skeptics of this concept.
There is no single way to get the process going. Each company is different and must address
the change differently.
Digital transformation is not only within reach of major IBEX 35 companies. This
shift is not necessarily linked to a higher expenditure.
The process does not have to be seen as an expense, but rather as a key investment
with sights on attaining higher returns. In fact, according to data by the IDC Research
consulting firm, 34% of small-caps who have allocated resources to digital transformation
have experienced immediate benefits.
Digitalization is a process that can begin with a technological change, but that has a
direct effect across the entire company with a significant change in the way in which it is
organized and in its culture.It is a market trend that offers increasing benefits to companies,
and that everyone is talking about. Which is why the number of skeptics who disseminate
unfounded myths is constantly growing. Transformation is here to stay, since it is a shift in
the paradigm of today’s world – and it is not only a process aimed at a few elite corporations,
around the world are already enjoying. . They only need to find the way to dive into
digitalization and start reaping the fruits that millions of companies

3.6: Digital transformation across various industries
It’s no secret that the retail landscape is more competitive than ever. The customer is in
total control, and only a personalized, unique retail experience will capture their attention (and
open their wallets).
But despite this, many retailers are slower to adopt new technologies that enable them
to change – they must evolve with the customer, because the customer will not change for
them. If they don’t, they will soon be seen as irrelevant or “boring” – which can become a
mitigating factor for retailers.
So how can you engage a technologically-savvy and selective customer? How can a
retailer differentiate themselves from the competition, and deliver the extraordinary
experiences that customers seek?
Consider all the ways digital transformation manifests in the retail industry:
Machine learning is key to cementing a bond between retailer and customer by helping
the retailer better understand and predict what the customer wants. Machine learning is a data
science that collects data from one (or several) sources, and then feeds that data into machine
learning models that in turn help predict future outcomes.
9
tweak pricing on the fly, and create forecasts based on historical trends and customer
preferences.
(ii)Artificial Intelligence
Customers expect answers and assistance any day, at any time – and the easier, more
convenient it is, the better. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an important new way to deliver the
attentive 24/7 service that shoppers now expect.
For instance, AI-driven chatbots can act as a digital store associate, instantly responding
to customer queries through texts or Chatbot messages. Chatbots can also upsell or cross-sell
products, pointing customers toward merchandise they may be interested in, based on the
customer’s engagement. Chatbots are a cost-effective and rapid response service tool that can
help seal conversions and create new sales. In addition, chatbots deliver messages that are
consistent with the brand’s voice – the chatbot says what it is programmed to say. There’s no
worry that a chatbot will share something it’s not supposed to, or that it will be rude and
impatient with a customer’s questions.
Shoppers are using multiple channels – web, mobile, social, etc. media – and they
expect you to be ready and waiting across channels at all times. To achieve that, many retailers
implement a unified commerce strategy, a single, fully integrated software platform that
manages all the different systems that a retailer uses to conduct business, from one interface.
Before the unified commerce concept, retailers used different systems for managing
components of their business. Trying to reconcile data pulled from multiple systems is a time-
consuming, resource-draining process. To best keep data integrity intact and secure, data siloes
must be broken down, and data from disparate sources integrated into one unified commerce
system.
When people imagine the cities of the future, they typically envision the urban
landscapes of science fiction: gleaming metropolises with flying cars and technology powering
everything. In fact, however, the city of the future will rely far more on strategic planning and
governance than it will on technology. To be clear, technology can indeed help solve some of
10
the large and growing challenges of urbanization. By 2030, more than 5 billion people—60%
of the 2010 global population—will live in cities. Meeting the needs of these urban residents
will put a tremendous strain on municipal governments, and many are rushing to invest in
technology, hoping that it will provide a fast and easy solution. The impulse is understandable:
technology is advancing rapidly and has transformed many industries. But under the current
approach to implementation—a series of short-term decisions—technology is unlikely to
achieve its full potential.
To solve the problems of urbanization and to design livable, sustainable cities of the
future, governments need to adopt a far more strategic approach, of which technology is only
one part. They need clear upfront analysis to identify the biggest issues that their cities and
constituents face, and they need to design collaborative and citizen-centric solutions that use
technology to address various functional clusters: energy, mobility, environmental
sustainability, public services, and buildings. This is potentially harder and more time-
consuming than simply buying software from a vendor. But it is the only way to generate
sustainable results.
Urbanization will present challenges on a massive scale. About 55% of the world’s
population currently lives in cities, according to the UN, and projections call for this number
to increase as rural populations shrink. Not all cities are growing at the same pace, however.
By 2030, roughly one-sixth of the world’s population will live in just 41 very large cities—
each with a population of more than 10 million people. That kind of concentration among
populations can create conflicts—and greater urgency for city governments—in three specific
areas:
Economic Competition Among Cities: Large cities often siphon capital and business
activity away from smaller cities nearby. And because concentrated populations lead to
increased economic opportunities—an effect that becomes self-reinforcing—large cities win
and smaller cities nearby lose. New development and infrastructure can sometimes intensify
the problem.
In 2008, for example, the Chinese government built a high-speed rail line between
Wuhan and Guangzhou, cutting the travel time between the two cities (roughly 600 miles apart)
from 11 hours to about 3. Slower trains used to stop at those cities, but the high-speed line did
not. As a result, the populations of many of the smaller cities along the route experienced a net
11
decline from 2008 to 2016, while the populations in the cities at either end of the line increased
significantly, accruing economic benefits.
To address these challenges, many cities are investing in digital technology, which holds
considerable potential to help leaders improve urban planning, foster equitable economic
growth, deliver services more efficiently, and use more sustainable resources.
To improve planning, for example, governments can use data infrastructure and analytical
tools. A government agency tasked with designing and building a city center cannot do so
effectively unless it has accurate information about the projected uses for the site, the number
of people who will use it, the types of services those citizens will need, and other critical
information.
Technology can also help cities foster more equitable growth. The market for “smart city”
technology is growing at 21% per year, to a projected $1.5 trillion by 2022. China is the leading
country in absolute terms, spending up to $250 billion in 2017, though growth rates in the US
12
and Western Europe are higher. A cloud-based data center in Busan, South Korea, will create
30,000 jobs alone.
What’s more, technology can help cities use resources more effectively and create healthier
urban environments. Digital solutions are helping cities generate reductions of 15% to 30% in
CO2 emissions, energy and water consumption, traffic congestion, and crime. They also help
cities deliver services far more efficiently. In Australia, for example, approximately 80% of the
population is expected to access government services through digital channels by 2020.
For these reasons, city governments are spending significantly on technology. In India, the
government plans to invest more than $1.5 billion in technology initiatives across 100 cities.
China launched pilot projects in more than 500 cities in 2017 alone. Canada plans to build 100
smart buildings in the next three years and reduce energy consumption in existing buildings by
17%.
The 21st century is the Information Technology era. It has brought the revolution a
change in the working of varies fields. The latest impact of technology is that the government
offices and services are governed through information technology. The adoption of new
technology in government sector has caused new phenomenon called E-Governance. The E-
Governance is referred to services provided by government to the citizens, business and local
government through information technology. E-Governance makes working of government
more efficient, responsive and transparent. Many developed countries like UK, USA, and
Brazil etc. have adopted the E-Governance and India is one of them. E-Governance is a web
based service for local, state and national governments. Government uses these web based
services by internet to serve their citizens online. Government give many online services like
payment of bills, taxes etc. and citizens use the services according to their need. Indian
government recognized the importance of technology and established the Department of
Electronics in 1970. India took first step towards the E-Governance Shown strong inclination
a nd establishment of the National Informatics centre (NIC) in 1977.
India launched NICNET (National Satellite – Based Computer Network) in 1987 with
the aim of computerizing all the district offices of the country. E-Governance provides
innumerable and infinite services to the citizens and government also
13
Different Services through E-Governance
E-Governance is designed in such a way as to provide the services to different sectors and
its role is multi-dimensional. The e- governance may provide services [5-8] in different
dimensions which are analyzed and discussed below
This model incorporates the services provided by the government to the citizens. This
model strong interaction between government and citizens. Citizens use respective services
provided by the government. Citizens can interact with the government any time, any place
and with suitable mediums like internet, fax, telephone, email etc.. The main object is to enable
the citizens to take benefits from efficient delivery public services and to make government,
citizens friendly.
E-Citizen
E-Citizen establish many service centers to offer the various customer services like issue of
Ration Cards, Certificates, Passports, Online filling of FIR and Payment of online bills such as
electricity, taxes, water, telephone bills etc. These centers like government run shops for
providing governmental services.
E-Medicine
It facilities the online availability of various hospitals and better medical services in different
parts of country.
E-Education
With E-Education, government embarks upon many initiatives to educate the citizens and
upgrade their knowledge with various information technologies.
E-Transport
E-Transport provides many facilities like online registration of vehicles, online issue of driving
licenses, online payment of challans and taxes, control of pollution.
E-registration
14
E-Registration reduces the paper work for registration and transfer of properties and stamp
duty. It reduces the duplication of entries and increases the transparency in work. The main
object of the G2C model is to deliver all the services of government to its citizens. The G2C
model will become successful provided all the citizens have knowledge of all the government
activities. Usually journalists, civil servants, oppositions keep closely watching the expenditure
of government. Government takes feedback from public to improve the relations between
government and citizens.
It is also known as E-Administration. In this model, services are shared between governments.
Information is shared among various government agencies, organizations and
E-Secretariat
E-Secretariat provides huge, valuable and functional information of the state. In ESecretariat,
multiple departments are closely linked together on internet and exchange the information of
various components. It also binds all the governmental departments with their headquarters and
state capitals.
E-Police
E-Police helps citizens to feel safe and secure. E-Police maintains two databases. First
database provide records current and previous posting etc. of persons working in police. These
databases prop up citizens to find the specialization of policemen in geographical regions and
skills. Second database is of criminal records. These database full details of a criminal at
fingertips on typing his name. Also previous the produces activities and area of his operation.
E-Court
E-Court shell makes a revolution in the Indian pending court cases. In India, there are
numerous pending cases frustrationing people consumers and the system need the change. In
ECourt, Judges with component raised data bases can peruse the appeals from intranet and
pronounce their decisions online considering recorded facts of case and reduce the backlog
cases. The success of G2G model is based on some important aspects like expenditure,
15
establishment of network, planning, monitoring and controlling the performance in human and
financial.
The insurance industry of India has 57 insurance companies 24 are in the life insurance
business, while 34 are non-life insurers. Among the life insurers, Life Insurance Corporation
(LIC) is the sole public sector company. There are six public sector insurers in the non-life
insurance segment. In addition to these, there is a sole national re-insurer, namely General
Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re). Other stakeholders in the Indian Insurance market
include agents (individual and corporate), brokers, surveyors and third-party administrators
servicing health insurance claims.
n India, the overall market size of the insurance sector is expected to US$ 280 billion
in 2020. The life insurance industry is expected to increase at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2019
and 2023. India’s insurance penetration was pegged at 4.2% in FY21, with life insurance
penetration at 3.2% and non-life insurance penetration at 1.0%. In terms of insurance density,
India’s overall density stood at US$ 78 in FY21. In the first half of FY22, the life insurance
industry recorded growth rate of 5.8% compared with 0.8% in the same period last year. In
September 2021, new premiums of life insurers registered 22.2% growth in September 2021,
up from 2.9% in September 2020.
Between April 2021 and September 2021, gross premiums written off by non-life
insurers reached Rs. 108,705.3 crore (US$ 14.47 billion), an increase of 12.8% over the same
period in FY21. In October 2021, total premium earned by the non-life insurance segment stood
at Rs. 17,679.98 crore (US$ 2.38 billion), as compared to the Rs. 15,906.71 crore (US$ 2.14
billion) recorded in October 2020.
The market share of private sector companies in the general and health insurance market
increased from 47.97% in FY19 to 48.03% in FY20. In the life insurance segment, private
players held a market share of 33.78% in premium underwritten services in FY20. In FY22*,
premiums from new businesses of life insurance companies in India stood at US$ 20.7 billion
and renewable premium stood at US$ 53.7 billion.

3.11 Healthcare
Over the past two decades, many hospitals and health systems adopted digital
technologies in their various functional areas. In many cases, however, they took a piecemeal
approach to numerous initiatives—from installing electronic health record (EHR) systems to
building apps to trying disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI)—while
remaining largely focused on the same business and customer models.2
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered this status quo for the health care
industry. Virtual health and care delivered in the home became the model of not only necessity
but also preference. But this change was not as sudden as it might look. The pandemic was an
accelerator of several trends, including shifting consumer preferences, rapidly evolving
technologies, newer talent models, and clinical innovation. In the face of these trends, as
hospitals and health systems work toward adapting their businesses, a well-defined approach
toward digital technologies will likely be at the core of this transformation strategy.
The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions collaborated with the Scottsdale Institute
to better understand how health systems are using digital to transform health care. To
understand the digital transformation journey of health systems, Scottsdale Institute members
were engaged in multipronged research: A survey was conducted with executives of 25 health
17
systems, interviewed five health system technology leaders, and facilitated a moderated panel
discussion of technology leaders from three health systems. It was found that
Health systems consider digital capabilities a path to fundamentally transform their relationship
with consumers. Most survey respondents are hoping to achieve better patient experience
(92%) as the top desired outcome from digital transformation. Health system interviewees and
panelists discussed taking a consumer-centered, outside-in approach—designing processes and
experiences from a consumer’s perspective as a way to build their trust and loyalty—to
improve patient experience and build on newer forms of care delivery using digital technology.
While the digital transformation journey is long, health systems are focusing on interim
milestones to show value. When asked how far they are from an ideal digital state, most survey
respondents (60%) rated their organizations as midway through their journeys. Health system
interviewees and panelists acknowledged that the transformation journey is longer than they
had initially expected as the opportunities and definition of digital transformation expand. They
also discussed a need to create frequent checkpoints to measure the value of the initiatives,
rather than waiting until the completion of the initiatives to measure returns on investments
(ROIs).
Talent, data, and setting key performance indicators (KPIs) are challenges to overcome, in
addition to budget. Survey respondents, interviewees, and panelists alike discussed how the
quality and quantity of talent to support digital transformation initiatives was one of the biggest
barriers to overcome. And, one-third of respondents said talent is their top investment priority
in the next 3 years. To address challenges with data, survey respondents and interviewees
reported investments in data interoperability and creation of the right KPIs as top priorities in
the next 3 years. Despite budget being a top reported constraint, two in three respondents expect
investments in digital transformation initiatives as a percentage of total information technology
(IT) budget to increase in the next 3 years.

3.12 FOOD INDUSTRY
Those plants that swiftly adopted IIoT and the above-mentioned industry 4.0
applications saw the benefits in terms of streamlined plant operations, reduced unplanned
downtime, and faster root cause analysis and equipment repairs, both during remote work
conditions and once employees were able to return to work in person. The food and beverage
(F&B) industry isn’t at the head of the pack when it comes to digital transformation, but the
last few years saw F&B companies pick up the pace of digitalization even before the impact
of COVID-19
Consumer trends towards healthier, more sustainable food, a rise in regulations around food
safety, and a rise in smaller, more personalized production have all contributed to pushing F&B
manufacturing plants to embrace the benefits of industry 4.0 over the last 2-3 years.
However, like other industries, the F&B industry was deeply affected by the global
pandemic. Supply chains fractured and broke, employees were unable to come in to work in
person in crowded plants, and customer demands swung even more wildly. The overall level
of demand varied greatly from plant to plant, as the need for restaurant products plummeted
but the market for staples for domestic use, such as flour, milk, and pasta, soared.
In many ways, the food and beverage industry was further along digitally than a
number of other manufacturing verticals before COVID-19 arrived. A significant number of
plants already use automated equipment items such as ovens, processors, and cold chain storage
units equipped with sensors. But when the pandemic began, few of them had smart devices that
share data with each other and a broader integrated data analytics system, or the connectivity
that enables remote operations.
According to one study, 73% of F&B companies have continued or increased their
investment in digital technologies, with supply chain operations (51%), data collection (38%),
and improved business analytics (37%) standing out as the primary use cases. 64% say that
their progress towards digitalization has been good or advanced.
With the increasing social and economic devastation caused by disasters around the
world, the international community and country-level National Disaster Management (NDM)
19
authorities have placed improving their ways to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover
from disasters as a top priority. Technological advancements and the 4th Industrial Revolution
are critical tools to help achieve this. However, they also present many challenges to traditional
NDM systems by altering the fundamental operational, organizational, and social dynamics of
conventional disaster management. Currently, there is a lack of research that studies these
aspects beyond technology and examines the impact of digital transformation on the full life
cycle of disaster management on the national level. Therefore, this research fills this gap by
integrating interdisciplinary concepts from different research fields including Disaster
Management, Information Systems, and Business Management to understand the impact and
determinants of digital transformation in NDM systems. To achieve this, the research uses the
Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and conducts semi-structured
interviews with UK NDM experts. The results show that the impact of digital transformation
on NDM is profound, paradoxical, multi-directional, and driven by a multitude of driving
forces. This research makes many significant contributions to research and practice.
Theoretically, this research expands the TOE framework beyond its original underpinnings by
uncovering a new set of disaster-context determinants. It also presents an innovative Layered
Cake FAST (Foundations-Approach-Strategy-Technology) Model that offers a unique
roadmap for NDM on how to handle its digital transformation journey. Practically, the research
presents several sets of useful expert-recommended actions.

Fig 3.3: Society5.0
In the information society (Society 4.0), cross-sectional sharing of knowledge and information
was not enough, and cooperation was difficult. Because there is a limit to what people can do,
the task of finding the necessary information from overflowing information and analyzing it
was a burden, and the labor and scope of action were restricted due to age and varying degrees
of ability. Also, due to various restrictions on issues such as a decreasing birthrate and aging
population and local depopulation, it was difficult to respond adequately.
21
was to collect information via the network and have it analyzed by humans. In Society 5.0,
however, people, things, and systems are all connected in cyberspace and optimal results
obtained by AI exceeding the capabilities of humans are fed back to physical space. This
process brings new value to industry and society in ways not previously possible.
In society up to now, a priority has generally been placed on social, economic, and
organizational systems with the result that gaps have arisen in products and services that
individuals receive based on individual abilities and other reasons. In contrast, Society 5.0
achieves advanced convergence between cyberspace and physical space, enabling AI-based on
big data and robots to perform or support as an agent the work and adjustments that humans
have done up to now. This frees humans from everyday cumbersome work and tasks that they
are not particularly good at, and through the creation of new value, it enables the provision of
only those products and services that are needed to the people that need them at the time they
are needed, thereby optimizing the entire social and organizational system.This is a society
centered on each and every person and not a future controled and monitored by AI and robots.
22
Achieving Society 5.0 with these attributes would enable not just Japan but the world as well
to realize economic development while solving key social problems. It would also contribute
to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations.
Japan aims to become the first country in the world to achieve a human-centered society
(Society 5.0) in which anyone can enjoy a high quality of life full of vigor. It intends to
accomplish this by incorporating advanced technologies in diverse industries and social
activities and fostering innovation to create new value.

SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS
DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
Sensors turn a physical input into an electrical output, and actuators do the opposite. They
take electrical signals from control modules and turn them into physical outputs. In a typical
IoT system, a sensor may collect information and route to a control center. There, previously
defined logic dictates the decision. As a result, a corresponding command controls an actuator
in response to that sensed input. Thus, sensors and actuators in IoT work together from opposite
ends. IoT sensor – An IoT device that observes one or more properties of a physical entity and
converts those properties into information. IoT actuator – An IoT device that can change one
or more properties of a physical entity in response to received information. An actuator is a
device that produces a motion by converting energy and signals going into the system. The
motion it produces can be either rotary or linear. An actuator is a device that produces a motion
by converting energy and signals going into the system. Sensors play an important role in
creating solutions using IoT. Sensors are devices that detect external information, replacing it
with a signal that humans and machines can distinguish. An actuator is a part of a device or
machine that helps it to achieve physical movements by converting energy, often electrical, air,
or hydraulic, into mechanical force. ... Common examples of actuators include electric motors,
stepper motors, jackscrews, electric muscular stimulators in robots, etc.
A sensor is a device that measures physical input from its environment and converts it into
data that can be interpreted by either a human or a machine. ... People use sensors to measure
temperature, gauge distance, detect smoke, regulate pressure and a myriad of other uses. A
sensor is a device that detects the change in the environment and responds to some output on
the other system. A sensor converts a physical phenomenon into a measurable analog voltage
(or sometimes a digital signal) converted into a human-readable display or transmitted for
2
reading or further processing. The most frequently used different types of sensors are classified
based on the quantities such as Electric current or Potential or Magnetic or Radio sensors,
Humidity sensor, Fluid velocity or Flow sensors, Pressure sensors, Thermal or Heat or
Temperature sensors, Proximity sensors, Optical sensors, Position sensors.
4.1.1 Communication
The sensor nodes can communicate among themselves using radio signals. A wireless
sensor node is equipped with sensing and computing devices, radio transceivers and power
components. The working mode of the sensor nodes may be either continuous or event driven.
A Wireless sensor network can be defined as a network of devices that can communicate the
information gathered from a monitored field through wireless links. The data is forwarded
through multiple nodes, and with a gateway, the data is connected to other networks like
wireless Ethernet. A wireless sensor-actuator network (WSAN) is composed of sensor and
actuator nodes interconnected in a wireless channel. Sensor nodes can deliver messages to only
nearer nodes due to weak radio and messages are forwarded by sensor nodes to an actuator
node. The sensor network connects to the internet or computer networks to transfer data for
analysis and use. Sensor network nodes cooperatively sense and control the environment. They
enable interaction between persons or computers and the surrounding environment.
They are hardware devices that produce a measurable response to a change in a physical
condition like temperature or pressure. Sensors measure physical data of the parameter to be
monitored and have specific characteristics such as accuracy, sensitivity etc. The continual
analog signal produced by the sensors is digitized by an analog-to-digital converter and sent to
controllers for further processing. Some sensors contain the necessary electronics to convert
the raw signals into readings which can be retrieved via a digital link (e.g. I2C, SPI) and many
convert to units such as °C. Most sensor nodes are small in size, consume little energy, operate
in high volumetric densities, be autonomous and operate unattended, and be adaptive to the
environment. As wireless sensor nodes are typically very small electronic devices, they can
only be equipped with a limited power source of less than 0.5-2 ampere-hour and 1.2-3.7 volts.
Sensors are classified into three categories: passive, omnidirectional sensors; passive,
narrow-beam sensors; and active sensors. Passive sensors sense the data without actually
manipulating the environment by active probing. They are self powered; that is, energy is
needed only to amplify their analog signal. Active sensors actively probe the environment, for
example, a sonar or radar sensor, and they require continuous energy from a power source.
3
Narrow-beam sensors have a well-defined notion of direction of measurement, similar to a
camera. Omnidirectional sensors have no notion of direction involved in their measurements.
Most theoretical work on WSNs assumes the use of passive, omnidirectional sensors. Each
sensor node has a certain area of coverage for which it can reliably and accurately report the
particular quantity that it is observing. Several sources of power consumption in sensors are:
signal sampling and conversion of physical signals to electrical ones, signal conditioning, and
analog-to-digital conversion. Spatial density of sensor nodes in the field may be as high as 20
nodes per cubic meter.

devices such as connected sensors, lights, and meters to collect and analyze data. The cities
then use this data to improve infrastructure, public utilities and services, and more. The four
pillars of comprehensive development-institutional, physical, social and
economic infrastructure.
Smart lighting
In a smart city, the lighting system is integrated with advanced sensors and
communication channels to obtain a Smart Lighting System (SLS). The goal of an SLS is to
obtain an autonomous and more efficient lighting management system. Smart cities use IoT
devices such as connected sensors, lights, and meters to collect and analyze data. The cities
then use this data to improve infrastructure, public utilities and services, and more.

Smart parking
Smart Parking is a parking strategy that combines technology and human innovation in an
effort to use as few resources as possible—such as fuel, time and space—to achieve faster,
easier and denser parking of vehicles for the majority of time they remain idle. Smart Parking
and its sister approach, Intelligent Transportation, are based on the fundamental ecological
principle that we are all connected. Parking and transportation are both essential in the
movement of people and goods. The Smart Parking and Intelligent Transportation vision and
overlapping technologies are steadily melding into one integrated stream.
Smart Buildings
A smart building is any structure that uses automated processes to automatically control
the building’s operations including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, security and
other systems. A smart building uses sensors, actuators and microchips, in order to collect data
and manage it according to a business’ functions and services. This infrastructure helps owners,
operators and facility managers improve asset reliability and performance, which reduces
energy use, optimizes how space is used and minimizes the environmental impact of buildings.
7
environment and operations. Smart buildings use information technology during operation to
connect a variety of subsystems, which typically operate independently, so that these systems
can share information to optimize total building performance. Smart buildings look beyond the
building equipment within their four walls.

4.3 5G Technology
5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G,
and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and
everything together including machines, objects, and devices. 5G wireless technology is meant to
deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive network
capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users. Higher performance
and improved efficiency empower new user experiences and connects new industries.

Expensive hardware and infrastructure
Costly spectrum (most countries, frequency bands are is too expensive)
High end mobile devices compatible with 4G technology required, which is costly
Wide deployment and upgrade is time consuming
5G: Much More Than Just “Ultrafast Internet” on the Smartphone. 5G will do much more
than significantly improve network connection. It provides new opportunities, enabling to
deliver ground breaking solutions that reach across society. Imagine billions of connected
devices gathering and sharing information in real time to reduce road accidents; or life-saving
applications that can take flight thanks to lag-free guaranteed connections; or production lines
so predictive they can prevent interruptions well before they occur.
5G runs on the same radio frequencies that are currently being used for your smartphone,
on Wi-Fi networks and in satellite communications, but it enables technology to go a lot further.
11
Beyond being able to download a full-length HD movie to your phone in seconds (even
from a crowded stadium), 5G is really about connecting things everywhere – reliably, without
lag – so people can measure, understand and manage things in real time. This has enormous
potential – and together, will take it to the next level.
5G is the foundation for flexible, efficient and responsible business. Production lines
autonomously reacting to supply and demand Digital replicas that can warn about real
machinery faults ahead of time Logistic networks autonomously routing goods based on real-
world conditions Full traceability down to the individual item at warehouses and ports Remote
access to powerful robots and vehicles for improved safety in risky environments. Increased
use of IoT in agriculture to efficiently grow crops.

4.3.5 Elevating experiences
5G sets the stage for more immersive entertainment and more engaging education.
Greater realism in VR, AR and extended reality (XR) with lighter devices. Delivering sensory
experiences, like touch, through devices. More engaging methods of teaching through
immersive content. Immersive virtual meetings to boost remote team productivity. Stable and
reliable connectivity in crowded spaces. New angles and interactions for live and remote event
spectators.
Communication protocols assist varied network devices to converse with each other by
transmitting the analog signals, digital signals, different files & process the data from one
device to other devices.
The most vital protocols within networking are TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) &
User datagram protocol (UDP).
UART PROTOCOL
UART stands for A Universal Asynchronous Transmitter And Receiver. UART Protocols is a
serial communication with two wired protocols. The data cable signal lines are labeled as Rx and Tx.
Serial communication is commonly used for transmitting and receiving the signal. It transfers and
receives the data serially bit by bit without clock pulses. The UART takes bytes of data and sends the
13
individual bits in a sequential manner. UART is a half-duplex protocol. Half-duplex means transferring
and receiving the data but not at the same time. Most of the controllers have hardware UART on board.
It uses a single data line for transmitting and receiving the data. It has one start bit, 8-bit data and a one-
stop bit mean the 8-bit data transfer one’s signal is high to low. Ex: Emails, SMS, Walkie-talkie.
USART stands for A Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous Transmitter and Receiver. It is a serial
communication of a two-wire protocol. The data cable signal lines are labeled as Rx and TX. This
protocol is used to transmitting and receiving the data byte by byte along with the clock pulses. It is a
full-duplex protocol that means transmitting and receiving data simultaneously to different board rates.
Different devices communicate with microcontroller to this protocol.
Ex:-Telecommunications.

4.5 Integration of Sensors in Robots and Artificial Intelligence
A combination of various sensors allows an AI robot to determine size, identify an object
and determine its distance. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) are wireless sensor devices
that provide identification codes and other information. Force sensors provide the ability to
pick up objects.
AI and computer vision technologies can help robots to identify and recognize objects
they encounter, help pick out details in objects and help with navigation and avoidance. AI-
enabled manipulation and grasping. Long considered a difficult task for robots, AI is being
used to help robots with grasping items.
Just like sense organs are important in the human body, electronic sensors play a vital
role in artificial intelligence. AI work programming intelligence or making computers behave
like humans. AI algorithms are used to control robots
AI in robotics helps robots perform the crucial tasks with a human-like vision to detect
or recognize the various objects. A huge amount of datasets is used to train the computer vision
model, so that robotics can recognize the various objects and carry out the actions accordingly
with right results.
Sensors used in AI robots are the same as, or are similar to, those used in other robots.
Fully-functional human robots with AI algorithms require numerous sensors to simulate a
variety of human and beyond-human capabilities. Sensors provide the ability to see, hear, touch
and move like humans.
Sensors in robot allow it to react with its environment in a flexible way. With the help of
sensors, robots are able to see and feel, and this would help the robot to perform complex tasks.
In order to control their own actions, robots need to know information about the position and
the movement of its body and parts.
Robots also have senses in the form of sensors. Sensors are used to evaluate the
environment in which the robot is operating and allows the robot to adjust actions based on
collected data. Contact sensors—to avoid obstacles. Proximity/Distance sensors—to detect
distance of objects in relation to the robot.
Robotic sensors are used to estimate a robot's condition and environment. These signals
are passed to a controller to enable appropriate behavior. Sensors in robots are based on the
functions of human sensory organs. Robots require extensive information about their
environment in order to function effectively.
16
Figure 4.10 Integration of sensors in Robotics
Local Intelligence:
Sensor solutions are mostly responsible for only data acquisition. The raw-data needs to
be extracted from the sensor and transmitted to another, more computationally capable device
within the network. The receiving end collects the raw-data and performs pre-processing in
order to present relevant results. Frequently the raw-data of the IoT device needs to be
processed using artificial intelligence, for example as in speech recognition. The demand for
artificial intelligence is expected to increase dramatically over the next years since sensor
solutions become more complex.
17
In future, the tendency of processing data within the cloud will be additionally shifted
back to local on-device processing. That allows more complex sensor solutions, which include
sensor fusion or pattern recognition.
For that kind of applications, local intelligence of the IoT device is needed. Sensor
solutions will become resourceful, as they already deliver finalized meaningful data. But,
computing elaborate AI solutions within an IoT device, need new solutions which meet power,
speed and size constraints. In order to archive this, the trend is shifting to integrated circuits
optimized for machine learning. This type of processing is commonly mentioned as edge AI.
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are closely related but not the same.
Augmented reality enhances or 'augments' the real world by adding digital elements – visual,
auditory, or sensory – to a real-world view.
An SOC is a focused facility where security specialists monitor, assess and defend against
computer security issues. Introducing Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
technology into this environment can enhance team performance, which translates into
opportunity gains.
Augmented reality can help provide remote assistance to customers as they repair or
complete maintenance procedures on products. It's also a valuable training tool to help
inexperienced maintenance crew complete tasks and find the correct service and parts
information when they are on-site. Augmented Reality (AR) adds digital elements to the
camera of your smartphone, creating the illusion that holographic content is a part of a physical
world around. Unlike virtual reality (VR), it is not immersed in an artificial environment.
18
requirements and health and safety standards. Facility managers (FMs) operate across different
business functions, working on both a strategic and operational level.
There are two major types of facilities management, Hard FM and Soft FM. Hard FM
refers to services relating to the actual structures and systems that make a facility work, and
can include fire safety, plumbing, structural, and elevator maintenance.
Facility management (FM) is a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure
functionality, comfort, safety and efficiency of the built environment by integrating people,
place, process and technology.
19
4.8 Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) are legal rights that protect creations and/or
inventions resulting from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary or artistic
fields. The most common IPRs include patents, copyrights, marks and trade secrets. Intellectual
property rights are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds. They usually
give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his/her creation for a certain period of time.
Intellectual property rights are customarily divided into two main areas:
(i) Copyright and rights related to copyright
The rights of authors of literary and artistic works (such as books and other writings,
musical compositions, paintings, sculpture, computer programs and films) are protected by
copyright, for a minimum period of 50 years after the death of the author.
20
The social purpose is to provide protection for the results of investment in the
development of new technology, thus giving the incentive and means to finance research and
development activities.
A functioning intellectual property regime should also facilitate the transfer of
technology in the form of foreign direct investment, joint ventures and licensing.
The protection is usually given for a finite term (typically 20 years in the case of patents).
While the basic social objectives of intellectual property protection are as outlined above, it
should also be noted that the exclusive rights given are generally subject to a number of
limitations and exceptions, aimed at fine-tuning the balance that has to be found between the
legitimate interests of right holders and of users.

heterogeneous systems and requirement of security, real-time capability and predictability.
The physical system is a mechanical part such as actuator or electromechanical system that is
used in production
line or processing
system.
According to the above figure the physical system consist of physical sensing will send
an analogue signal to the cyber space. The analogue signal will be converted into digital data.
This data needs to be protected from malicious attack. Data encryption and integration will be
involved to protect the data credential, privacy and integrity. Cyber space will control,
stored and process the data. Control centre will send a control command to the actuator
network. This is a close-loop processes. Another important characteristic in CPS is global
reference time. Global reference time helps to make sure the CPS performance are conducted
3
in a synchronous or asynchronous. This will help to ensure the data from physical system
to actuator are send properly and accurately through cyber world.
Hitachi, Ltd. has developed a prototype Cyber Physical System (CPS) for supporting the
PDCA*1 cycle in facility operation geared toward a community-based shopping mall, which
is a starting point of community revitalization. The prototype presents effective operational
methods through AI analysis after incorporating the following data into Digital Twin*2 in
cyberspace:
This enables the shopping mall owner, site supervisors and tenant owners to devise their own
convincing operational methods which fit the status quo of each outlet, such as customer base
and geographical characteristics. Hitachi carried out a demonstration experiment at nonowa
Kunitachi, a shopping mall adjacent to JR Kunitachi Station and operated by JR Chuo Line
Community Design. The company confirmed that traditionally incomprehensive purchase
trends and effects of operational methods are quantifiable, which has lead Hitachi to discover
effective operational methods. Going forward, Hitachi aims to put this CPS into practical use
as a solution supporting operational methods tailored to characteristics of domestic and global
shopping malls. Hitachi is enthusiastic about contributing to regional community revitalization.

Fig5.2: Prototyping of CPS
Video-based sensing application which equipped camera in mobile phones used for
capture, send and receive real-time videos have been a popular platform for social
communication (Burke et al., 2006). In 2008, a group of researcher presented a network
architecture known as AnySense that facilitates the internet hosts in CPS and 3G mobile
phones. (Xing et al., 2008). AnySense, integrates transcoding of video streams which is open
to 3G mobile service providers through the interface of internet and the 3G cellular framework.
Researcher propose a new reference-based modelling approach that can effectively minimize
the effect of encoding on video quality quantification. AnySense's approach is by associating
the 3G networks of circuit-switched (CS) and the packet-switched (PS) Internet. Figure 7 is
5
the architecture of AnySense.CPU and radio are the significant sources of power operating
expenses on cyber-physical wireless networks. To deal with this, intensively research to
implement this practice have been done (Rhee et al., 2008) but unfortunately bring to another
challenge in embedded applications. Therefore, Darmawan (Darmawan, 2019) described a
method to utilize the energy consumption in wireless CPS for real-time applications.
His work proves by implementing the radio sleep configuration for wireless sensor
nodes and computer execution modes could optimize the power consumption on a CPS device
system. Different schemes were proposed based on various wireless network topologies to
reduce the expenditure of energy through maintaining the timing limit and limit of precedent.
In practice, this technique is effective, though it's pseudo-polynomial algorithm.
The application of CPS technology in social networks and entertainment will bring
about a revolutionary effect. For example, computer games that integrate CPS improve upon
the virtual world that they create with added physical signals, such as those from sensing
devices. This configuration will enhance the users' engagement and provide a more realistic
experience. CenceMe is a technology order to facilitate information collected from mobile
sensors to be shared through social networks (Miluzzo et al., 2008). In order to do this,
CenceMe detects a single user's behaviour in various environments, after which a social
network such as Facebook or Myspace will share the information received by the user's sensors
and actuators.
Various sensing element such as the GPS, camera, accelerometers, Bluetooth and
microphone were used in expanding the capabilities of mobile phone. However, the usage of
6
Bluetooth and GPS application serves a high number of energy usage. Therefore, power
conservation is an important driver to be considered in the implementation of the CenceMe
application. By carrying multiple sensors on the human body, also known as body-sensor
networks (BSN), the human motion could be captured. Data from the body sensors are captured
and transmitted in real-time. An idea of a CPS network whereby users can practise traditional
Chinese particular skill, Tai Chi, was discussed in a study in 2010 (F.-J. Wu et al., 2010).
By implementing the wireless sensor networks (WSNs), any group of people could make-up
Tai Chi exercises and lessons anywhere and anytime lead by a Tai Chi master. This platform
provides users to communicate by sharing conventional messages and images and even some
sensory signal across several interesting ways. Figure 5 illustrates the architecture of this
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are collections of physical and computer components that
are integrated with each other to operate a process safely and efficiently. Examples of CPS
include industrial control systems, water systems, robotics systems, smart grid, etc.
CPSs are characterized by integration, across technologies, industrial domains, and the life-
cycle, and by “smartness.” CPS can be described using a corresponding set of characteristics:
technical emphasis, cross-cutting aspects, level of automation, and life-cycle integration. “This
requires three fundamental attributes to be present, also known as the three Cs –
communication, control and computing. Unless these three elements are present you will not
have a system where physical processes can affect computations and vice versa.” Each includes
smart networked systems with embedded sensors, processors and actuators that sense and
interact with the physical world and support real-time, guaranteed performance in safety-
7
critical applications. Standards, protocols and test methods that support the discovery,
interoperability and composition of components used to build these cyber physical systems will
promote innovation, improve economic viability at the same time allowing systems to become
more efficient and reduce resource-use.”

The goal is to develop Smart Cyber-Physical Systems for Controlled-Environment Agriculture,
to optimize the food production quality, quantity and schedule in balance with operational cost
and resource usages. The features of such a system include, but not limited to, the follows:
