Rapid technological advances have revolutionized the industrial sector. These range from automation of processes to autonomous processes, where a human input is not required. Internet Things (IoT), which has emerged few years ago, been embraced by industry, resulting in what known as Industrial (IIoT). IIoT refers making and entities part Internet. Restricting definition manufacturing yields another subset IoT, Industry 4.0. 4.0, will consist sensor networks, actuators, robots, machines,...
