Abstract:
Industry 4.0 is an emerging concept to provide reality in manufacturing industries. There is a need to understand this fourth revolution, its components and features. There are different requirements of Industry 4.0, such as customisation, quick delivery, efficiency, waste reductions are essential as products are manufactured as per the customer requirements. Additive manufacturing (AM) is an established reality, and extensive research is going in this area. Thus, there is need to understand how AM can contribute to cover various features of industry 4.0. Through extensive literature review, ten major components of Industry 4.0 identified and provided with a brief description. Further, seven significant features of Industry 4.0 has also been identified and listed in tabular form along with brief description and references. In this paper, a large number of research papers on industry 4.0, additive manufacturing in Industry 4.0 and other related articles have been studied to identify the impact and subsequent research direction. AM provides high practical relevance for the research and development of new product. Industry 4.0 speed up innovations to generate new business concept in manufacturing field by implementing AM.
