Abstract

This paper investigates the role of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) in empowering Industrial IoT (IIoT) within the context of Industry 4.0. NB-IoT, a low-power wide-area network technology, is pivotal for facilitating reliable, efficient, and cost-effective connectivity for a multitude of industrial devices and sensors. We analyze the technical features of NB-IoT, including its extended coverage, low power consumption, and high connection density, which make it ideal for industrial applications. The paper examines various use cases, such as asset tracking, predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring, demonstrating how NB-IoT enhances operational efficiency and productivity. Challenges related to scalability, integration with existing systems, and security are discussed. Additionally, future prospects for NB-IoT in advancing Industry 4.0 initiatives are explored. This research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how NB-IoT is shaping the future of industrial connectivity and automation.
