A Review on Human-Centered IoT-Connected Smart Labels for the Industry 4.0
Open accessAbstract
One of the challenges of Industry 4.0 is the creation of vertical networks that connect smart production systems with design teams, suppliers, and the front office. To achieve such a vision, information has to be collected from machines and products throughout a smart factory. Smart factories are defined as flexible and fully connected factories that are able to make use of constant streams of data from operations and production systems. In such scenarios, the arguably most popular way for identifying and tracking objects is by adding labels or tags, which have evolved remarkably over the last years: from pure hand-written labels to barcodes, QR codes, and RFID tags. The latest trend in this evolution is smart labels which are not only mere identifiers with some kind of internal storage, but also sophisticated context-aware tags with embedded modules that make use of wireless communications, energy efficient displays, and sensors. Therefore, smart labels go beyond identification and are able to detect and react to the surrounding environment. Moreover, when the industrial Internet of Things paradigm is applied to smart labels attached to objects, they can be identified remotely and discovered by other Industry 4.0 systems, what allows such systems to react in the presence of smart labels, thus triggering specific events or performing a number of actions on them. The amount of possible interactions is endless and creates unprecedented industrial scenarios, where items can talk to each other and with tools, machines, remote computers, or workers. This paper, after reviewing the basics of Industry 4.0 and smart labels, details the latest technologies used by them, their applications, the most relevant academic and commercial implementations, and their internal architecture and design requirements, providing researchers with the necessary foundations for developing the next generation of Industry 4.0 human-centered smart label applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
