COVID 19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has created surge demand for essential healthcare equipment, medicines along with the requirement for advance information technologies applications. Industry 4.0 is known as the fourth industrial revolution, which has the potential to fulfil customised requirement during COVID-19 crisis. This revolution has started with the applications of advance manufacturing and digital information technologies.
A detailed review of the literature is done on the technologies of Industry 4.0 and their applications in the COVID-19 pandemic, using appropriate search words on the databases of PubMed, SCOPUS, Google Scholar and Research Gate.
We found several useful technologies of Industry 4.0 which help for proper control and management of COVID-19 pandemic and these have been discussed in this paper. The available technologies of Industry 4.0 could also help the detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 and other related problems and symptoms.
Industry 4.0 can fulfil the requirements of customised face masks, gloves, and collect information for healthcare systems for proper controlling and treating of COVID-19 patients. We have discussed ten major technologies of Industry 4.0 which help to solve the problems of this virus. It is useful to provide day to day update of an infected patient, area-wise, age-wise and state-wise with proper surveillance systems. We also believe that the proper implementation of these technologies would help to enhance education and communication regarding public health. These Industry 4.0 technologies could provide a lot of innovative ideas and solution for fighting local and global medical emergencies.
2019冠状病毒病（新冠病毒）大流行使得对基本医疗设备、药品以及先进信息技术应用的需求激增。工业4.0被称为第四次工业革命，它有潜力在新冠疫情危机期间满足定制化需求。这场革命始于先进制造和数字信息技术的应用。
利用“PubMed”“SCOPUS”“谷歌学术”和“Research Gate”数据库中的适当检索词，对工业4.0技术及其在新冠疫情中的应用进行了详细的文献综述。
我们发现了工业4.0的几种有用技术，它们有助于对新冠疫情进行适当的控制和管理，本文对此进行了讨论。工业4.0现有的技术还可以帮助检测和诊断新冠病毒以及其他相关问题和症状。
工业4.0可以满足定制口罩、手套的需求，并为医疗系统收集信息，以便对新冠患者进行适当的控制和治疗。我们讨论了工业4.0的十大主要技术，它们有助于解决这种病毒带来的问题。通过适当的监测系统，按地区、年龄和州提供感染患者的每日最新情况很有帮助。我们还认为，这些技术的正确实施将有助于加强关于公共卫生的教育和沟通。这些工业4.0技术可以为应对本地和全球医疗紧急情况提供许多创新理念和解决方案。
