Abstract

The advent of the fourth industrial revolution, commonly denoted as Industry 4.0, is not devoid of challenges. This approach will explore various typical issues and constraints associated with the adoption and utilization of Industry 4.0 technology in the manufacturing sector. The fourth industrial revolution signifies a transformative period for manufacturing, prompting this study to investigate and scrutinize common problems and limitations linked to the implementation of Industry 4.0 technology in manufacturing. Identified constraints encompass financial considerations, the threat of security breaches, the upheaval of existing job structures, compatibility issues with current infrastructure, workforce skill gaps, concerns regarding data security, data quality, and standardization, as well as organizational culture and the challenges of change management. Additionally, regulatory and legal complexities are among the limitations highlighted. Successful implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies hinges on companies acknowledging and addressing these limitations, thereby enabling informed decision-making and appropriate actions. Stakeholders’ comprehension and overcoming of these limitations are crucial for the effective deployment of Industry 4.0 technologies in manufacturing, facilitating a complete realization of the potential embedded in this revolutionary paradigm.
