Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has been a significant megatrend in the manufacturing world for over a decade. It has revolutionized modern-day manufacturing, bringing unprecedented efficiency and benefits such as reduced operational costs, improved output, sustainable production, data-driven quality control, and high-efficiency manufacturing. However, challenges such as data security concerns, lack of an IT-adept workforce, and inefficient integration of new systems remain hurdles to easy and widespread adoption. The pandemic has demonstrated the advantages of advanced automation, and investments in I4.0 have paid dividends. This article explores how materials can optimize the performance and reliability of electronics and complex mechanical systems, prolonging robust system performance to derive maximum benefit from I4.0.
