Abstract
The development of human civilization over the last decade has reached a landmark as Industry 4.0 has been widely introduced. Several aspects of industry and manufacturing activities are changing due to the Internet of Things (IoT), location detection technologies, and advanced human–machine interfaces. To enact industrial affairs under those specifications, a sensor is required to transform physical events into numerical information. The use of sensors in marine applications also appears in research and studies, in which the sensor is used for both monitoring the phenomena of a designated subject and data acquisition. Achievements in quantifying complex phenomena in critical maritime designs are fascinating subjects to discuss regarding their development and current states, which may be reliable references for further research on developing sensors and related measurement analysis tools in marine, shipbuilding, and shipping fields. This comprehensive review covers several discussion topics, including the origins and development of sensor technology, applied sensor engineering in logistic and shipping activities, the hydrodynamic characterization of designed hulls, the monitoring of advanced machinery performance, Arctic-based field observations, the detection of vibration-based damage to offshore structures, corrosion control and monitoring, and the measurement of explosions on critical maritime infrastructures.
Highlights
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices using modern smart technology
It was noted that flood water can penetrate through non-watertight structures. They investigated a total of 2392 cases, and the results strongly indicate that the inverse method is applicable in determining a breach if the sensor arrangement is dense enough
After the 1910s, data reconstructions agree with previous studies that pointed to a decreasing tendency in Arctic sea ice extent
Summary
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (or Industry 4.0 [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]) is the ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices using modern smart technology. Large-scale machine-to-machine communication (M2M) [10,11,12] and the Internet of Things (IoT) [13,14,15] are being integrated for increased automation, improved communication and self-monitoring, and the production of smart machines that can analyze and diagnose issues without the need for human intervention. Instead of weaving looms powered by muscle, steam engines could be used for power
