Smart automation in manufacturing process using industrial internet of things (IIoT) architecture

In the recent years, the manufacturing sector has greatly benefited from the implementation of artificial intelligence. It has become a potential significant area for researchers as well as businesses all over the globe. Needless to say, various terminology, such as Intelligent Manufacturing, Smart Manufacturing, and Innovative Manufacturing, terms are being used by many academicians and researchers which could be depicted as comparable concepts. Despite all the facts stated, very little consideration has been given to such concepts from an evolutionary point of view. To address this knowledge gap, the current study conducts a descriptive and analytical review of the concepts mentioned above in order to examine the intrinsic distinctions among these concepts and to elucidate the connection between them. At the same time, to deal with the complexity, increase information awareness, improving process achievement, as well as obtain competitiveness in the global economy, the contemporary manufacturing sector is investing in infrastructure technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, cloud services, as well as information security. These advancements are quickly allowing a new age of smart factory, i.e., a malware network that intimately getting manufacturing companies with digital businesses in internet. Achieving the maximum potential of malware networks is heavily reliant on the creation of new approaches for information technical breakthroughs on the Internet of Manufacturing Things (IoMT). This paper presents a concept for intelligent technology in manufacturing techniques based on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) design, as well as its future potential areas of research.
