Industry 4.0 coined was 1st coined in Germany as reported. But still it is not defined as per several literature reviews. Here question is specific to Automotive Industry 4.0. We speak about connected cars, V2X communications, IoT, Smart vehicle interiors and exteriors. But still precisel cannot be defined where we can say, here industry 4.0 if anything after this may go to something called Industry 5.0.
From my understanding, Industry 4.0 refers to the connected factory. It is independent of the product being produced in the factory. The goal of Industry 4.0 is to create a factory where each piece of equipment is linked to a central system, like an IoT, except for a factory. Various parameters from each piece of equipment can be monitored. The next step post that is to use this information to drive decision making internal in the factory process (more capacity downstream or bottleneck warning etc..) and also external to the factory process like messaging to suppliers (expedite / delay deliveries) and also messaging to shippers (expedite / delay). The automotive factory is no different, though more advanced, as the Industry 4.0 requires less people to run the system. The major difference in the Automotive Factory is that the product is higher tech and this may be leveraged to enable more features for Industry 4.0, eg the "smart enabled car" can link to the factory WiFi, download diagnostics and software.
Widespread adoption of Industry 4.0 is dependent on those vendors of IoT type sensors in adopting a common agreed protocol.
The automobile industry is a wide range of companies and organizations involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and selling of motor vehicles, some of them are called automakers.
These are running based on different types of fuels used in the automobiles. It may be fixed types industries of mobile industries. The shape ans size with capacity and location play an important roles for criteria selection of Automotive industry.
