Abstract
Industry 4.0 techniques play a pivotal role in revolutionizing real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance of conveyor systems, which are critical assets in modern industries to achieve sustainability. By synthesizing insights from various studies, the article provides a comprehensive perspective on the challenges, emerging trends, and opportunities within this dynamic field. The convergence of sensor technology, machine vision, data analytics, and IoT empowers conveyor systems to proactively address maintenance needs, minimize disruptions, and optimize performance while also promoting sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, the multifaceted challenges associated with implementing predictive maintenance, such as data heterogeneity and model maintenance, are discussed, along with the introduction of advanced methodologies for specific issues like belt tear detection and foreign object identification. This highlights the transformative potential of Industry 4.0 techniques in enhancing conveyor systems' operational efficiency and reliability within the context of sustainability, contributing to a greener and more responsible industrial landscape.
