Sustainable internet-of-things-based manufacturing systems: Industry 4.0 wireless networks, advanced digitalization, and big data-driven smart production

Abstract

Empirical evidence on sustainable Internet-of-Things-based manufacturing systems has been scarcely documented in the literature. Using and replicating data from Capgemini, DAA, IoT Analytics GmbH, The Manufacturer, McKinsey, Oracle, PwC, US BLS, and WEF, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding smart factory transformation approach taken by players in different categories (%) and drivers of technological change and time to impact on employee skills (%). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
