network of industrial equipment responsible for complex AI and IoT operations is no easy task. Many Industry 4.0 applications operate in harsh environments. Industrial facilities and equipment must contend with signal or data interference caused by dust, moisture, extreme temperatures, shock, vibration, noise, and other challenges. Size constraints, particularly in IoT, robotics, and machine vision applications, are another considerable design hurdle. Not only are devices getting smaller, but higher data throughput
Since the launch of Industry 4.0 in 2011, the development of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has significantly increased to improve manufacturing operations. Integrating AI and IoT systems creates smart factories by gathering precise data to optimize operations throughout the manufacturing process. Smart factories deliver increased automation, predictive maintenance, process and quality control upgrades, and enhanced responsiveness to customer demands.
However, implementing a reliable, high-speed
