Overview of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things


- Various technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics,
Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, nanotechnology, and
Quantum computing, led to the development of many advanced
systems.
- Industry 4.0 incorporates various enabling technologies into the
industrial manufacturing processes such as CPS, Cloud

devices, collected data, and real-time processing of the data
generated from the sensor nodes are the key factors addressed
during the evolution of Industry 4.0

Sensors
Sensors are characterized by a few traits, which may be inherent to the
material using which they are fabricated, or the design form the sensor is
being as, or even due to manufacturing defects.
Industry 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering

Sensor calibration
It denotes the deviation of a sensor’s output values from the expected
values, which are expected from an ideal sensor of the same type,
operating under ideal conditions.
Industry 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering

Internet of Thing
Sensor profile
- This feature defines the expected trend and behavior of a sensor being
used. Sensors can be profiled as either linear or non-linear.
- For a fixed change in the input value, the sensor output always changes
by a fixed value, a linear behavior is observed between the input and
output. In contrast, if the output varies in a manner that the constant of
proportionality between the output and input values is not linear
(polynomial, exponential, square, logarithmic, and others), the sensor is
categorized as a non-linear sensor.
Industry 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering

Internet of Thing
Sensor accuracy
- The accuracy of a sensor is defined as the degree of correctness or
closeness with which a sensor can quantify a physical phenomenon.
- A temperature sensor T1 outputs a value of 99.8oC, whereas T2 outputs
103.1oC. We say that T1 is more accurate than T2, even though they do
not show the exact correct value.
Industry 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering

Internet of Thing
Sensor resolution
- The resolution of a sensor signifies the intensity or level of details a
sensor can capture from a physical phenomenon while quantifying it.
- The first sensor a1 reports the car’s acceleration as 3.225 m/s2, whereas
the second sensor a2 reports it as 3.22 m/s2. Here, we say that the
resolution of a1 is more than a2 as it can provide measurements of the
phenomenon with more precision

Internet of Thing
Sensor rating
- The rating of a sensor signifies the maximum and minimum values of
the different conditions (both ambient as well as input), which the
sensor can safely handle without damaging itself or distorting its
readings.
- A non-contact infrared thermal sensor is rated to operate between −10
to 200oC. Operating this sensor to measure temperatures greater than
the maximally rated value of 200oC will saturate its readings by
overloading its sensing elements. This will result in incorrect readings.
Industry 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering

Internet of Thing
Output
- This feature signifies the nature and range of output a sensor will
provide. The output of a sensor can be either analog or digital, each of
which requires separate circuit configurations to read, even if both these
different sensors (analog/digital) measure the same parameter.
- a commercially available temperature sensor can be of two types—
analog (LM35), and digital (DHT11). The LM35 sensor positively
requires an analog-to-digital converter before its values can be
understood by a processor to which it is connected. In contrast, the
DHT11 sensor can directly connect to a processor.

Block Chain
Blockchain is the “youngest” of the mega-technologies of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution, and operates on the infrastructure provided by the
internet. It was invented, dramatically, by the pseudonymous Satoshi
Nakamoto in a 2009 whitepaper in order to solve the problem of preventing
the double-spending of “coins” in a ledger of cryptocurrency holdings and

Internet of Thing
Block Chain
Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology which makes use of
decentralised consensus algorithms to keep a record of socioeconomic
facts.
The ledger is “distributed” because each node in a network within the
internet keeps a copy of the ledger, and it is “decentralised” because it is
updated only once consensus is achieved across that network on the next
“block” of facts to be incorporated into the “chain” of such blocks which
constitutes the ledger.

Internet of Thing
Block Chain
blockchain allows a decentralised network to come to a consensus on a
ledger of socioeconomic facts which is distributed among them. That is,
blockchain allows a decentralised network to come to a consensus on a
ledger which maintains a verified record of who interacted with whom,
when they interacted, and the result of that interaction in terms of the effect
it had on the state of the system as a whole.

Blockchain therefore expands the capability, on a scale hitherto unheard of,
for human interaction to take place in the context of a variety of different
institutional systems. Where traditionally individuals were relatively
constrained to interact within institutional systems for particular markets,
firms, governments, commons, and clubs, individuals are now more able to
interact within a variety of different institutional systems enabled by
blockchain technology. Blockchain expands the range of possibilities for
systems of institutional governance within which one may decide to
conduct one’s affairs
