Innovation in manufacturing through digital technologies and applications: Thoughts and Reflections on Industry 4.0

Vitor Jesus, Mark Josephs

Research output: Chapter in Book/Published conference outputChapter

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is an ongoing transformation that aligns Industry with new computing and business models.
Examples of enabling technologies are Cloud Computing, Cyber-Physical Systems, Artificial
Intelligence and Big Data. Some technologies are well established in other sectors, such as Financial
and IT, but the adaptation effort is nevertheless significant. Among the risks, cybersecurity is at the
forefront. This chapter discusses why Industry 4.0 brings unprecedented cybersecurity challenges to
Manufacturing and the overall Industrial sector. To overcome them, we make the case for new codes of
practice that take a holistic view of the IT and OT world whilst adopting a framework that should be
native to Industry 4.0.
