The Industry 4.0 is an integrated system, which consists of an automation tool, robotic control, communications and big data analytics. Industry 4.0 Market was valued at US $ 114.3 billion in 2023 and is poised to witness more than 20.2 % CAGR from 2024 to 2032 to rich US $ 555.1 billion, driven by the increasing adoption of automated equipment and tools.
The implementation of Industry 4.0 requires a workforce with advanced technical skills, particularly in areas such as data analytics, machine learning, and system integration. However, there is a significant skills gap in many industries, where the existing workforce may not be adequately trained for these new technologies. This lack of skilled labor can hinder the growth and scalability of Industry 4.0 initiatives. The transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 reflects a progression towards more intelligent, adaptive, and resilient manufacturing systems.
The series of annual IFSA's Winter ARCI conferences have been launched to fill-in the mentioned gaps and provide a forum for open discussion of state-of-the-art technologies related to all, mentioned above, components of Industry 4.0/5.0. The ARCI' 2025 conference is organized by the IFSA - one of the major professional, non-profit association serving for sensor industry and academy since 1999.
The ARCI' 2025 conference will incorporate main fields covering research and development in a broaden range in automation, robotics, communication and data analyses, and united by the Industry 4.0/5.0 challenges. However it will be not a conference only about the future concepts and new visions. It will be also to discuss how to adopt the current R&D results for Industry 4.0/5.0 and to customize products under the conditions of highly flexible (mass-) production. The coming ARCI' 2025 event will be co-located with the inaugural International Conference
on Drones and Unmanned Systems (DAUS' 2025) under the same conference umbrella.
The previous ARCI’ 2025 conferences have attracted many researchers and practitioners in the related fields, from around the world. The purpose of ARCI' 2025 is bring together leading international researchers, developers and practitioners to attain synergetic exchanges of ideas and practices. The conference will offer plenary and invited talks, contributed oral and poster presentations, special sessions, industry tracks, panel discussions, tutorials and exhibition of commercial products. Social and cultural events will also take place to foster networking among the participants in a friendly manner. We trust that you will find the ARCI 2025 conference professionally rewarding and stimulating as well as enjoyable. Welcome to ARCI' 2025 !
