In these changing times, Industry 4.0 technologies are being adopted in many parts of the world. These technologies are used to develop smart materials, smart factories, smart logistics, smart warehousing and smart supply chains. In the business aspect, it has the potential to solve complex manufacturing problems. This paper provides a thorough study of various Industry 4.0 technologies for improving the material quality and manufacturing systems. We have listed out various available technologies, their characteristics, and benefits of effective management in the upcoming industries. Digital technologies help companies optimize their material wastage and inventory which ends upin cost reductions. With remote collaboration, on-site and off-site employees can easily collaborate as and when needed. These technologies ultimately reduce communication gaps and help them stay up to date with the information. Smart predictive analysis will help to properly monitor the equipment in the industries using Industry 4.0 technologies. Faults in materials can be detected and resolved at an early stage. Further, this provides transparency in the systems and processes and fulfills the required expectation of the customer.
