Abstract: There are important elements to enable successful Industry 4.0, including the choice of advanced technologies and their interplay for different types of smart manufacturing. This keynote is focused on the overview, discussion and detailed technologies on the recent development in Industry 4.0 for smart manufacturing, data analytics, AI and security. There are three parts to this talk. First, it will be on the overview and general understanding of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for the Supply Chain. Second, it will elaborate on the choice and use of different advanced technologies and examples. Third, future trends will be discussed. This keynote will describe how key aspects for each part, and explain their relation, and suitable examples and recommendations for each section, and the entire topic collectively. The interplay between smart manufacturing, AI, data analytics, and security will be crucial for Industry 4.0 development.
