World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolu­tion, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wear­able sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manu­facturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individu­als. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frame­works that advance progress.

The advancements in intelligent decision-making techniques have elevated the efficiency of manufacturing industries and led to the start of the Industry 4.0 era. Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the way companies manufacture, improve, and distribute their products. Manufacturers are integrating new technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and analytics, and artificial intelligence and machine learning, into their production facilities throughout their operations. In the past few years, intelligent analytics has emerged as a solution that examines both historical and real-time data to uncover performance insights. Because the amount of data that needs analysis is growing daily, advanced technologies are necessary to collect, arrange, and analyze incoming data. This approach enables businesses to detect valuable connections and trends and make decisions that boost overall performance. In Industry 4.0, intelligent analytics has a broader scope in terms of descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive subdomains. To this end, the book will aim to review and highlight the challenges faced by intelligent analytics in Industry 4.0 and present the recent developments done to address those challenges.
