cloudcomputing,blockchaintechnology,ArtificialIntelligence(AI),andmanyother
advancedtechnologiesareintegratedtoincreaseproductivity.Mostimportantly,the
internet is used in every aspect of this revolution. There are many advantages of
Industry4.0,suchasimprovedproductivity,improvedefficiency,flexibility,agility,
better user experience, and many more. There are some challenges too like trust,
traceability,security,reliability,transparency,etc.
These challenges can be addressed by adopting blockchain technology.
