The Use Of Industry 4.0 Technology In The Transformation Of Production Processes Towards Smart Factories

This research aims to explore the use of Industry 4.0 technology in the transformation of the production process towards a smart factory. The method used in this research is qualitative. The process of collecting data and information comes from literature studies obtained from various articles, books, and documents relevant to the topic of discussion. The results show that the implementation of industry 4.0 technology can improve efficiency, flexibility, and operational resilience in the production environment. Through better integration between equipment and systems, smart factories can monitor, forecast, and control production processes in real-time, allowing adaptation of production models that are responsive to market dynamics. However, there are also challenges and opportunities that arise in its application. As such, this research provides a contribution to understanding the implications of Industry 4.0 technologies on the future of production and industry as a whole.
