Next-Gen Computing: Exploring Industry 4.0 Authors Bannishikha Banerjee Amity Institute of Information Technology, Kolkata https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4848-8749 DOI: https://doi.org/10.64383/irjss.AUG240801 Keywords: Industry 4.0, Smart Technologies, IoT Abstract Industry 4.0 represents a paradigm shift in manufacturing and beyond, driven by advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and cyber-physical systems (CPS). This abstract explores the transformative impact of Industry 4.0 on computing, focusing on its integration into traditional manufacturing processes and broader applications in various sectors. Next-generation computing in Industry 4.0 emphasizes interconnectedness, automation, and real-time data analytics to optimize production efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality. Key technologies like cloud computing, edge computing, and big data analytics play pivotal roles in enabling smart factories and decentralized decision-making capabilities. Moreover, Industry 4.0 fosters a shift towards autonomous systems and adaptive manufacturing environments, where machines communicate and collaborate independently, guided by real-time data insights. This abstract discusses the implications of these advancements for computer science, highlighting opportunities and challenges in cyber security, data privacy, and workforce reskilling. Ultimately, the exploration of Industry 4.0 in next-gen computing underscores its potential to revolutionize industries, reshape business models, and pave the way for a new era of interconnected and intelligent systems.
