Abstract

Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the way companies work and integrate enabling technologies, including the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, analytics, and AI and machine learning, to the production facilities and entire operations or on delivering their services. Advanced sensors, embedded software, and robotics are used in smart factories to collect and analyze data, allowing for better decision-making by more predictive analysis. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges to the society to adapt to a new reality. While the rest of the world searches for answers, Industry 4.0 technology has become a vital component of how we survived the pandemic and how we will survive in the post-pandemic future. The main purpose of this chapter is to understand the future and reality of jobs in IR 4.0. There are several ways IR 4.0 will reinvent jobs in the future. For the readers, the authors divided the chapter into the following sections: “How IR 4.0 Reinvents Jobs,” “Types of Jobs in IR 4.0,” and “Conclusion.”
