Abstract

As Industry 4.0 continues to transform the current manufacturing scene, seamless integration and intelligent data use have emerged as important aspects for increasing efficiency, productivity, and creativity. Semantic interoperability, a critical notion in this disruptive era, enables machines, systems, and humans to comprehend and interpret data from disparate sources, resulting in improved cooperation and informed decision-making. This article presents a thorough overview of semantic interoperability in the context of Industry 4.0, emphasizing its core concepts, problems, and consequences for smart manufacturing. Businesses may unlock the full power of interoperability and promote a new level of data-driven insights and optimizations by investigating the potential of semantic technologies such as ontologies, linked data, and standard data models. The goal of this paper is to provide a full knowledge of the role of semantic interoperability in Industry 4.0, enabling enterprises to embrace the latest advances and propel themselves toward a more intelligent and connected industrial landscape.
