1. Robotics or Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence has a range of benefits, including a less risk to workers and prevention of injury on the job, faster decision-making due to a quick data processor, around-the-clock production, and reduced costs since they don't need to be paid a salary. Industries they are used in include healthcare, logistics, insurance, and finance.

2. Big Data Companies will collect valuable information from machines to benefit their production phases, assist with their overall performance, predict machines failing, cut back costs, increase product quality, improve customer service, help with research, and more. If you're a business owner and want a leg up against your competitors, this is a good way to do it.

3. Augmented Reality AR allows you to see the real world and the virtual one simultaneously, but how does this help the manufacturing industry in terms of productivity? With augmented reality, factory workers can be trained easily using workplace equipment, and employees can mentor others remotely in real-time. This is great for people who work from home.

4. Cloud Computing This is access to data on demand, and industries can store software and important information using the internet. With everything being online now, this is the most secure option for keeping track of all business-related operations. The process for industries is more reliable than the average computer. Cloud computing saves money as there's no need to pay for servers, is easy to scale, offers competitor advantages, doesn't need to be updated as often, and is easy for the entire company to manage.

5. Internet of things With the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), things can be better managed in the manufacturing industry, which benefits customers receiving products and the experience of workers. The IoT assists with quality control and stopping faulty products, managing inventory and logistics, predicting if machines need fixing, keeping track of employees and their health metrics as they work, and creating smarter packaging, including sensors or QR codes.
