Why It Matters

IoT real-time monitoring reduces manufacturing downtime by enabling predictive maintenance through sensor data analytics, as shown in Lăzăroiu et al. (2022) cognitive manufacturing systems. In smart factories, edge computing supports proactive decisions, boosting productivity and sustainability per Valášková et al. (2022). Sima et al. (2020) highlight human capital shifts from automation, impacting business operations with 727 citations.

Key Research Challenges

Latency Reduction in Edge Computing

IoT networks in harsh industrial environments face delays in data transmission, complicating real-time decisions. Hazarika et al. (2024) address this in traffic systems using edge ML, applicable to factories. Protocols for low-latency fusion remain underdeveloped.

Data Fusion from Sensor Networks

Heterogeneous IoT sensors generate big data requiring fusion for accurate process insights. Lăzăroiu et al. (2022) discuss AI algorithms for integrating IoT sensing in manufacturing. Scalability issues persist in high-volume streams.

Integration with Digital Twins

Synchronizing real-time IoT data with digital twins demands robust cyber-physical models. Lăzăroiu et al. (2024) explore digital twin-based systems with IoT for production management. Validation in dynamic environments challenges reliability.
