====Industrial Automation and Industry 4.0====
{{See also|Work 4.0}}The rise of industrial automation is directly tied to the "[[Fourth Industrial Revolution]]", which is better known now as Industry 4.0. Originating from Germany, Industry 4.0 encompasses numerous devices, concepts, and machines,<ref name="doi.org">{{Cite journal | doi=10.11113/jt.v78.9285|title = Industry 4.0: A Review on Industrial Automation and Robotic| journal=Jurnal Teknologi| volume=78| issue=6–13|year = 2016|last1 = Kamarul Bahrin|first1 = Mohd Aiman| last2=Othman| first2=Mohd Fauzi| last3=Nor Azli| first3=Nor Hayati| last4=Talib| first4=Muhamad Farihin| doi-access=}}</ref> as well as the advancement of the [[industrial internet of things]] (IIoT).

Industry 4.0 works with the IIoT and software/hardware to connect in a way that (through [[Information and communications technology|communication technologies]]) add enhancements and improve manufacturing processes. Being able to create smarter, safer, and more advanced manufacturing is now possible with these new technologies. It opens up a manufacturing platform that is more reliable, consistent, and efficient than before. Implementation of systems such as [[SCADA]] is an example of software that takes place in Industrial Automation today. SCADA is a supervisory data collection software, just one of the many used in Industrial Automation.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Pérez-López | first=Esteban | title=Los sistemas SCADA en la automatización industrial | journal=Revista Tecnología en Marcha | volume=28 | issue=4 | date=2015-12-11 | issn=2215-3241 | doi=10.18845/tm.v28i4.2438 | doi-access=free | page=3 | doi-broken-date=4 December 2024 |url=https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/download/2438/2224}}</ref> Industry 4.0 vastly covers many areas in manufacturing and will continue to do so as time goes on.<ref name="doi.org" />
