Industry 4.0 matters because it transforms manufacturing from reactive and manual operations into data-driven, connected systems that improve productivity, quality, and competitiveness. By integrating machine-level data with analytics, manufacturers gain real-time visibility into production performance, enabling predictive maintenance that reduces downtime and unplanned repairs. This connectivity also supports continuous improvement, faster decision-making, and higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by revealing inefficiencies and bottlenecks. Industry 4.0 strengthens supply-chain transparency, accelerates time-to-market, and helps companies adapt to market changes more rapidly. Importantly, it creates a foundation for future technologies like AI, automation, and digital twins to del
