Abstract: The purpose of this article is to review the latest work on Industry 4.0 through articles published between January
2017 and April 2021, and to understand the current state of the industry 4.0 research level. The detailed literature review method
uses a step-by-step article selection method, including: database selection, keyword selection, article collection,
inclusion/exclusion criteria and selected article reviews. Most work is based on concepts or case studies. However, empirical
research is needed in this area. The future research directions provided in this document may be helpful to researchers who are
willing to conduct research in the field of Industry 4.0. Researchers related to Industry 4.0 have aroused great interest, leading to
many publications on different Industry 4.0 topics. This document will help to obtain future research directions.
Keywords: Digital Transformation, Industry 4.0, Barriers, Cyber Physical System, Smart Factory, Internet of Things
II. REVIEW METHODOLOGY
Reviewing the literature is an important part of any research work. Through literature review, the relevant literature is evaluated and
analyzed to find out the research gaps that help strengthen the research field. Use various available databases related to knowledge
exchange, knowledge transfer and knowledge flow for literature review. To this end, the author has submitted various articles to the
database, i.e., Web of Science (WoS) and ProQuest, which contain a large number of well-known publications, such as Emerald,
Taylor and Francis, Springer, IEEE and Elsevier. The structured review method uses a five-step process, as shown in Figure 1.
Develop a search strategy by first looking at the relevant data source (ie the database). In order to access various academic and
conference publications, Web of Science and ProQuest databases were selected.
I. INTRODUCTION The fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0,
brings a new perspective to the manufacturing industry, which can be combined with emerging technologies to achieve efficient
production and optimize the use of resources in the manufacturing industry. The German government's Industry 4.0 plan merges
manufacturing and IT (Kamble et al., 2018). The first industrial revolution began with the introduction of the steam engine, the
second batch of industrial revolutions focused on mass production, and the second industrial revolution began with the
development of computer technology. The digital revolution began with the development of computerization and the
creation of networks in all areas of production, which led to the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 can be defined as the
integration of information technology and cyber-physical systems (CPS). Emerging technologies such as smart machines, cloud
computing, and data-sharing production facilities trigger actions and controls independently of each other, creating a cyber-physical
system (CPS). Any organization with Industry 4.0 has great potential to realize social and economic benefits and integrate the
use of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data. As the Internet of Things (IoT) improves the way CPS
interact, monitor, control, and manage, CPS facilitates the integration of processes and systems into organizational and
manufacturing technologies. It can improve cooperation and communication between production departments, innovate production,
improve services, improve logistics, and carry out effective and cost-effective resource planning [31]. The latest development of
ICT tools has promoted the development of Industry 4.0. The development and progress of emerging technologies in Industry 4.0
will provide a series of feasible solutions to meet the growing needs of the manufacturing industry. First of all, the idea of the
“fourth industrial revolution” may sound better [36]. It should be noted that its implementation involves many challenges, risks
and obstacles. Defining the correct infrastructure and standards, ensuring data security and training employees are some of the
problems that need to be solved on the road to Industry 4.0 (Hofmann & Rüsch, 2017). Therefore, it is necessary to determine
the current research status and future scope of Industry 4.0.
This research attempts to focus on the latest works published from January 2017 to April 2021. This article reviews a total of 36
articles and research papers, which were published in different journals. In addition, the structure of the document is as follows. A
detailed review of the literature in tabular form. The next section provides research methods for selecting articles, followed by the
discussion in section 3. The conclusion is provided in the last part of this article.
