Cloud Computing Applications for Industry 4.0: A Literature-Based Study

Cloud computing involves collecting data and software along with seamless access over the internet rather than the computer’s hard drive. Cloud storage facilitates files and programs to be downloaded and uploaded, and viewed over the internet instead of a computer’s hard disc, using any digital device. This modern production age transforms industries worldwide with an increasingly digital future where the cloud provides special processing, storage and networking capabilities. This technology is an essential component of Industry 4.0; it recognizes emerging innovations to investigate methods to be modified to fulfill current customer requirements. Due to significant advances in the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, cloud-based technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the fourth technological revolution is now being realized. This new revolution is triggering tremendous transformations in different areas, particularly in financial services, products, healthcare, automobiles, and building services. This paper details cloud computing’s significant potential and a study on different cloud computing applications for Industry 4.0. Calculation services make it possible for the platform, leading in the long term to innovative technologies, combining automation, the Internet of Things, and robotics.
