Accelerating renewable energy generation over industry 4.0

Abstract

The“Industry 4.0” (the fourth industrial revolution) is recognized as a newindustrial step in which horizontal and vertical manufacturing progresscombination and product connectivity may supply benefit producers to achievehigher technical achievement. However, especially in developing countries;limited information is known about how industries could meet the implementationpossibilities of the Industry 4.0 associated technologies to achieve industrialproduction and performance.Thispaper briefly reviews and describes industry 4.0 and environment formodernization. The paper also discusses what are the current objections met bycompanies especially energy generator companies according to hydropower plantoperators’ experiments. The paper offers an approach from strategic planning tooperational level for the implementation of industry 4.0 for all manufacturersespecially the energy sector. Also new opportunities, applications andscenarios examined by introducing the technologies and tools for Industry 4.0.Finally, it referred a conclusion and brief look of the future work.
