Nowadays, industries have begun to realise the operational and economic benefits of drone-enabled tasks. The Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, drones, etc., represent implementable advanced technologies intended to accomplish Industry 4.0. The purpose of this study is to discuss the significant contributions of drones for Industry 4.0.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nowadays, drones are used for inspections, mapping and surveying in difficult or hazardous locations. For writing this paper, relevant research papers on drone for Industry 4.0 are identified from various research platforms such as Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate and ScienceDirect. Given the enormous extent of the topic, this work analyses many papers, reports and news stories in an attempt to comprehend and clarify Industry 4.0.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Drones are being implemented in manufacturing, entertainment industries (cinematography, etc.) and machinery across the world. Thermal-imaging devices attached to drones can detect variable heat levels emanating from a facility, trigger the sprinkler system and inform emergency authorities. Due partly to their utility and adaptability in industrial areas such as energy, transportation, engineering and more, autonomous drones significantly impact Industry 4.0. This paper discusses drones and their types. Several technological advances and primary extents of drones for Industry 4.0 are diagrammatically elaborated. Further, the authors identified and discussed 19 major applications of drones for Industry 4.0.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper\u2019s originality lies in its discussion and exploration of the capabilities of drones for Industry 4.0, especially in manufacturing organisations. In addition to improving efficiency and site productivity, drones can easily undertake routine inspections and check streamlines operations and maintenance procedures. This work contributes to creating a common foundation for comprehending Industry 4.0 outcomes from many disciplinary viewpoints, allowing for more research and development for industrial innovation and technological progress.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ir-09-2021-0203","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,29]],"date-time":"2021-11-29T03:36:26Z","timestamp":1638156986000},"page":"476-490","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Exploring contributions of drones towards Industry 4.0"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Mohd","family":"Javaid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ibrahim Haleem","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ravi Pratap","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Shanay","family":"Rab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rajiv","family":"Suman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"key2022041913493408800_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4674","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2018.2855198","article-title":"Deploying fog computing in industrial internet of things and industry 4.0","volume":"14","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics"},{"issue":"17","key":"key2022041913493408800_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5718","DOI":"10.3390\/s21175718","article-title":"The internet of drones: requirements, taxonomy, recent advances and challenges of research trends","volume":"21","year":"2021","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2022041913493408800_ref003","first-page":"90","article-title":"Implementation of UAV for environment monitoring of a smart city with an airspace regulation by AIXM-format data streaming","volume":"5","year":"2020","journal-title":"Industry 4.0"},{"key":"key2022041913493408800_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"176935","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2019.2956748","article-title":"Blockchain applications for industry 4.0 and industrial IoT: a review","volume":"7","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Access"},{"key":"key2022041913493408800_ref005","first-page":"1","article-title":"Energy-efficiency clustering and data collection for wireless sensor networks in industry 4.0","year":"2020","journal-title":"Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing"},{"key":"key2022041913493408800_ref006","first-page":"5081","article-title":"Automation and manufacturing of smart materials in additive manufacturing technologies using internet of things towards the adoption of industry 4.0","volume":"45","year":"2021","journal-title":"Materials Today: Proceedings"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2022041913493408800_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1007\/s12647-020-00376-3","article-title":"Quality infrastructure of India and its importance for inclusive national growth","volume":"35","year":"2020","journal-title":"MAPAN"},{"key":"key2022041913493408800_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"120677","DOI":"10.1016\/j.techfore.2021.120677","article-title":"Multifaceted applicability of drones: a review","volume":"167","year":"2021","journal-title":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change"},{"issue":"8","key":"key2022041913493408800_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"970","DOI":"10.1080\/09537325.2020.1858047","article-title":"Developing a policy framework for adoption and management of drones for agriculture in Africa","volume":"33","year":"2021","journal-title":"Technology Analysis & Strategic Management"},{"key":"key2022041913493408800_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2130002","DOI":"10.1142\/S2424862221300027","article-title":"Symbiotic relationship between machine learning and industry 4.0: a review","year":"2021","journal-title":"Journal of Industrial Integration and Management"},{"key":"key2022041913493408800_ref011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107776","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpe.2020.107776","article-title":"Industry 4.0 technologies assessment: a sustainability perspective","volume":"229","year":"2020","journal-title":"International Journal of Production Economics"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2022041913493408800_ref012","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"367","DOI":"10.1504\/IJSTL.2020.108405","article-title":"A value chain analysis of a seaport from the perspective of industry 4.0","volume":"12","year":"2020","journal-title":"International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics"},{"key":"key2022041913493408800_ref013","first-page":"191","article-title":"The role of drones in linking industry 4.0 and ITS ecosystems","year":"2018"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2022041913493408800_ref014","first-page":"946","article-title":"Generation of corporate intelligence in industry 4.0, through the combination of professional drones and artificial intelligence.
