With integration between machine automation and data being the hallmark of industrial revolution 4.0, the resilience of energy infrastructure in modern economy has taken a new significance. The study aims at discussing the potential and examining the impacts of the Internet of Things (IoT), which are smart devices with embedded sensors and connectivity, enabling data exchange to the energy sector. This technology contributes towards enhancing industry’s sustainable practices through the industrial internet of things. With data from the “edge of the grid,” these sensors assist in efficient energy consumption, providing constant monitoring for the regulatory authority, particularly on pollutant emissions. IoT technology may complement the national electric smart-grid, enhancing its reliability by feeding these raw data into machine learning neural network for the optimal operation. All these technologies shall complement one another, as Malaysia transform from a net energy exporter into an energy importer. Practicing efficient energy consumption can reduce this external dependency, and enhance national energy security. This paper derives statistical data sourced from the Energy Commission and technical data from publications of other scholars. On smaller scale, IoT implementation in manufacturing plants may resulted in 15% operating cost reduction. The benefits on national level implementation however remains unknown.

The economic diversification concept gives hope for a country with rich natural resources to strengthen its economic basis. Thus industrial revolution era of 4.0 provides great opportunity to fasten the process. A study by McKensey in 2011 proved that the internet in the developing country contributes around 3.4% towards its GDP which means that the internet has become a new hope for the economy in the future. Indonesia is one of the countries that is attempting to maximize the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) for its economic growth.� The attempt has made the retail and tourism industries as the two main sectors to experience the significant effect of IoT. In the process of optimizing the IoT to support the economic growth, Indonesia faces several issues especially in the term of the internet network quality and its distribution, the inclusive access of financial access and the infrastructure

The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved over time. The introduction of the Internet of Things and Services into the manufacturing environment has ushered in a fourth industrial revolution: Industry 4.0. It is no doubt that the world is undergoing constant transformations that somehow change the trajectory and history of humanity. We can illustrate this with the first and second industrial revolutions and the information revolution. IoT is a paradigm based on the internet that comprises many interconnected technologies like RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and WSAN (Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks) to exchange information. The current needs for better control, monitoring and management in many areas, and the ongoing research in this field, have originated the appearance and creation of multiple systems like smart-home, smart-city and smart-grid. The IoT services can have centralized or distributed architecture. The centralized approach provides is where central entities acquire, process, and provide information while the distributed architectures, is where entities at the edge of the network exchange information and collaborate with each other in a dynamic way. To understand the two approaches, it is necessary to know its advantages and disadvantages especially in terms of security and privacy issues. This paper shows that the distributed approach has various challenges that need to be solved. But also, various interesting properties and strengths. In this paper we present the main research challenges and the existing solutions in the field of IoT security, identifying open issues, the industrial revolution and suggesting some hints for future research.

In this study, the periodical differences of industrial revolutions, which is one of the effects of technological developments in the industrial field, and the last stage of it are mentioned. With the latest industrial revolution called Industry 4.0, machines work in harmony with technology at every stage of industrial areas. This period, known as Industry 4.0 or the fourth industrial revolution, refers to the system in which the latest production technologies, automation systems, and the technologies that make up this system exchange data with each other. In addition to the information technologies and automation systems used in Industry 3.0, industrial production has gained a whole new dimension with the use of the internet. With internet networks, machines, operators, and robots now work in harmony. At this point, the concept of internet of objects becomes important. Therefore, another focus of the study is the concept of internet of objects. There are some assumptions about the uses, benefits, and future status of the internet of things.


History has always been a great indicator of past behaviour as well as of future trends. However, when you think of what future jobs may look like, you do not certainly expect to find a plausible response in the past. Technologies and scientific advancements in general make it almost impossible to predict what you will be required to know in order to get—or maintain—your job in the next six months, let alone in the next couple of years. Whilst disruption seems such a new concept nowadays, we will learn that disruptive innovations have always been part of our story. The authors look at the major industrial revolutions known to humans and discuss patterns to help us prepare for the forthcoming future.

Abstract According to Christopher Freeman technological revolutions play a key role in capitalist development. In this article, we ask to what extent more recent developments are consistent with the perspective advanced by Freeman. We focus on two issues in particular, the climate challenge and what has been dubbed “A Fourth Industrial Revolution” that is, advances in artificial intelligence and the proliferation of the internet of things.

In the current context, innovation development is particularly relevant. Russia is an outsider in the global market of high-technology products, but the government is taking active steps to develop an innovative economy. The article provides a brief description of the theory of innovation and assesses the position of Russia among other countries at the current stage of innovative development. The paper emphasizes the importance of the government in building a national system of innovation and the need for the companies in this business field to be proactive. The importance for the Russian economy to find its own way of innovation development is emphasized. Aircraft industry which creates sophisticated, science-intensive products is reviewed as an example of the most promising in this aspect of the industry. The authors substantiate the choice of the Internet of Things technology as a base for the development of innovations in the industry, considering it to be a key phenomenon in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and propose a universal algorithm for the use of this technology at the company level. The article provides examples of the introduction of the Internet of Things in the global aviation industry and the ways of applying them in Russia.

The fourth industrial revolution represents smarter systems, faster and more optimized system of artificial intelligence, which involves control systems and sensors networks. In this paper, the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) was applied preliminarily to create the connection between machine and the user, using a sensor, a processor such as Raspberry Pi, and IoT platform application such as Blynk in the smartphone. The simple IR 4.0 prototype system and IoT apps were developed in order to create a connection between sensors and user through the internet consisting of a temperature and humidity sensor, which is DHT11 and a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. The smartphone application would be developed through the Blynk application for this simple prototype system. The graphical user interface GUI was built within the Blynk app and link it to the sensor which is already connected to the Raspberry Pi. The analysis that was done upon the system is by varying the stimuli to the sensors, which is a hairdryer with three levels of heat and observe the relative change of the reading of temperature and percentage of humidity on the apps. Therefore, the preliminary result shows an increase in temperature as the heat level increases. On the other hand, the percentage of humidity becomes lower as the temperature goes higher. Based on the results and the analysis, it had shown that the IR 4.0 prototype system of IoT monitoring can connect between the sensor and the smartphone application with real-time monitoring through the internet.
