Any industrial revolution starts withthe aim of increasing efficiency. Previous technologicalmovements have concentrated on the manufacturingstructure at the factory floor level. Industry 4.0 is the21st century's industrial revolution, and it will be thenext manufacturing paradigm. In the first revolution,industries achieved high efficiency by steam engines, inthe second revolution, industries used energy andproduction lines, and in the third revolution, industrieshave shifted from analogue to digital technologies.Industry 4.0 is the 21st century's industrial revolution,and it will be the new business model. In the packagingindustry, mass production is giving way to customisedproduction. Internet of Things, Industrial Internet,Smart Manufacturing, and Cloud-basedManufacturing are some of the terms used. The keygoal of this research is to see how technologies can helpmanufacturing companies get ready for Industry 4.0.The study illustrates an examination of preparationfor Industry 4.0 deployment, which was measuredusing a University of Warwick model. Quantitativeapproaches were used to determine the relationshipbetween organisational readiness and deployment byasking 35 workers of manufacturing companies closedended questions. His final result reflects a keeninterest in the challenges that the Fourth IndustrialRevolution poses to companies. While the majority ofrespondents see Industry 4.0 as a wonderfulopportunity for increased competitiveness anddevelopment, the status of proposals for itsimplementation varies widely based on country, sector,and even individual firms
