Abstract

The promise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4), coupled with the agility demanded by the COVID-19 pandemic has driven large scale adoption of IR4 technologies. However studies show that only 30% of all digital transformation projects succeed, making it a risky proposition, especially for Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Successful prototype implementations are needed for SMEs to believe in the power of IR4 initiatives and to motivate them to invest time and effort. In this paper, we showcase such a prototype implementation by first providing an overview of the cyber-physical system architectural framework in the manufacturing context. Next, we showcase a real-life, low-cost, reliable pilot that will boost IR4.0 technology adoption for SMEs in a timely manner without large investments or disruption to existing operations. The presented case study shows an example of a pilot project that demonstrated early success, with well-established needs and measured signposts to harness the benefits of IR4.
