## 3 Industry 4.0 towards Forestry 4.0  
Industry 4.0 is considered the fourth industrial revolution introducing a new paradigm of digital, autonomous, decentralized control for manufacturing systems. The concept of Industry 4.0 refers to smart manufacturing toward to digitization, collaboration and automation. The authors of [48] identified the component of industry 4.0 include Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), smart factory, IoT, and internet of services (IoS). CPS Refers to the fusion of physical world in Industry 4.0, while IoT refers to the connectivity between the physical elements in industry 4.0. Smart factory refers to all categories of smart physical components such as devices, robots, computers, cameras sensors, and etc. IoS refers to the processing and functions of all smart devices connected via IoT. Moreover, the Industry 4.0 impacts can be improve socially, economically, and environmentally [48]. Furthermore, Industry 4.0 covers a broad range of technologies, processes, and systems mainly related to industry digitalization. In terms of data-related technologies, the main areas of Industry 4.0 are CPS, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Cloud Solutions and Decentralized Services, and Big Data and Stream Processing technologies for processing large amounts of production data in real-time [49]. The transfer of Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies to the forestry sector appears to be a promising way to optimize existing processes and to spawn new business models. Forestry 4.0 concept is inspired by Industry 4.0 concept, which plays a vital role in the next industrial generation revolution. Internet of Forest Things, AI, automation, smart devices, Blockchain and digital twins will drastically change the Forestry 4.0 for the better. These advanced and emerging technologies are used to solve the operational issues related to create a sustainable Forestry 4.0 ([[https://www.woodbusiness.ca/final-cut-forestry-of-the-future-the-sustainable-revolution](https://www.woodbusiness.ca/final-cut-forestry-of-the-future-the-sustainable-revolution)]([https://www.woodbusiness.ca/final-cut-forestry-of-the-future-the-sustainable-revolution](https://www.woodbusiness.ca/final-cut-forestry-of-the-future-the-sustainable-revolution))). Furthermore, the combination of emerging technologies for sustainability is the efficient way of Forestry 4.0 future toward Industry 4.0. For Forestry 4.0, network performance and communication network are required such as IoT, wireless sensor network, IoT, big data, edge computing, drone, and cloud computing. Smart IoT device, mobile devices, IoT, smart devices, robots, objects, vehicles, drone, and machines; as shown in Figure 3. The authors of [40] have defined the Forestry 4.0 as paradigm of forest industry (digitization, connectivity, harvesting, automation and transportation). It focused on digitization of end-to-end smart devices as well as customers. Thus, the forestry 4.0 concept combines digital technologies, network connectivity, processing and operations, and collaboration. Furthermore, Forestry 4.0 technical realization involves connecting wood resources, data sets, existing and new hard and software components, and stakeholders into a novel IoT, Services, and People in forestry [30]. Based on the manufacturing industries experience with Industry 4.0, Forestry 4.0 concept has been launched by FPInnovations ([[https://web.fpinnovations.ca/](https://web.fpinnovations.ca/)]([https://web.fpinnovations.ca/](https://web.fpinnovations.ca/))) as an initiative for digitalization in the Forest Industry. Forestry 4.0 initiative aims at enabling the upstream part of the forest value chain in Canada to fully leverage the agility and power of the fourth industrial revolutions. The development of Forestry 4.0 achieves solutions for issues that affect the forest industry including labour shortages, performance, forest connectivity, safety, environmental performance improving, sustainability and reducing costs.
