Overview


The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR or Industry 4.0) is an ongoing procedure of employing new smart technology to automate traditional manufacturing and industrial operations. The digital revolution has brought about unprecedented change in the manufacturing system. Ensuring information security while maintaining ongoing connectivity to the internet and other technologies is a major challenge. Our top priority should be cultivating skilled human resources aligned with the demands of the fourth industrial revolution to harness its full potential. Undoubtedly statistics play a pivotal role in data analysis, serving as the cornerstone for data science transformation. The upcoming 4IR conference in December 2024 aims to gather global professionals, fostering discussions on advancements in critical fields and providing a platform for exchanging ideas. This event offers a unique opportunity to forge new connections and engage with experts across diverse disciplines, exploring the fundamentals, applications, and products driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution forward.


Objectives of the Conference


Navigating 4IR Goals:  Delve into the opportunities and challenges presented by the 9 pillars of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), particularly in domains like business data science, health data science, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) based systems, 3D printing, and cloud computing.

Interdisciplinary Fusion: Explore the intricate connections between statistics, computer science, and social science in the face of rapid technological advancements.

Empowering Innovation: Drive innovation, enhance decision­ making processes, and address challenges within the  4IR framework by showcasing professionals across diverse industries' statistics and data science involvement.

Collaborative Exchange: Fostering collaborative initiatives that harness the collective potential of these fields for the benefit of 4IR-driven advancements through a platform for the exchange of ideas.
