Abstract
Abstract Rapid growth in the manufacturing sector has triggered to explore the potentials of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Internet of Things (IoT) which paves the way to escalate the efficacy of manufacturing. Industries implemented IoT in various domains starting from purchase of raw materials till customer service and support. IoT is considered as a key technology of the industrial revolution 4.0 and this provides a promising prospect to build influential services and applications for manufacturing. Further, it also provides an interactive relation between smart machines to share the data and information, which is essential for the complex systems to take a decision on the real-time working environment. In this paper, we reviewed the impact of IoT for a sustainable development, especially with regard to the manufacturing dimensions. This will further put forth the current scenario of IoT in manufacturing and this leads the researchers for pioneering their research towards the cyber integrated manufacturing.
