Now what shall we do with the Augmented reality and other technologies Industry 4.0 introduce in the production environment??!
These are propping questions that will sprout many possibilities and hidden gems or problems that we would never known about if we didn’t have a hope followed by an intention to make this target come true in the nearby future
