Abstract

Industry 4.0 signifies a new step in the control and organization of the manufacturing value chain. It can provide better digital solutions for our day-to-day lives during pandemics and post-pandemic life, including better activity planning, global public health emergencies, and risk assessment. The Internet of Things (IoT), as a part of Industry 4.0, brings new opportunities in various applications, including smart healthcare and cities. The combination of an IoT system and artificial intelligence (AI) has the following capabilities in pandemic management: public security improvement, contact tracing to access public places, and automated diagnosis and post-pandemic prognosis. In this chapter, we discuss the contribution of Industry 4.0 (IoT, digitalization, Big Data, AI, and cloud-based computing) for automatic surveillance and health monitoring during pandemics and post-pandemic life. More than fifty papers published in 2020-2 were analyzed in this chapter. © IOP Publishing Ltd 2023. All rights reserved.
