Abstract
The integration of smart devices in the manufacturing section has brought along disruptions in the production processes. The existing literature in the field of IIoT and Industry 4.0 have focused much on the technical aspects of the network design and development, however, there is a substantial gap in examining the challenges of implementation of IIoT techniques, especially in context to India. This paper presents an exhaustive analysis and categorization of the challenges faced by the manufacturing sector in the implementation of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Challenges were categorized into technical and organizational challenges with the help of experts. The paper aims to attain a hierarchical structure, which will further be helpful to policymakers to identify the most critical challenge allowing them to make a well-versed decision. The results of this study are expected to highlight the key challenge wherein the industry and researchers can focus their strategic efforts. This will facilitate the address of implicit issues while implementing IIoT Techniques in the manufacturing industry.
