•    Description:  Emerging technologies are moving aluminum foundries forward from computers and automation into the fourth industrial revolution (known as Industry 4.0 or IIoT). Intelligent machines use sensors to gather information from the world around them and are connected to data acquisition systems. Integration of virtual models with real-world data provides a novel approach for predicting and influencing control systems in the plant. This paper reviews aluminum industry practices and looks at the current state-of-the-art in Industry 4.0, focusing on key concepts and how they can be applied to the aluminum industry.
