Abstract: Expanding and being competitive in the current economic environment requires companies to embrace digital transformation. In the framework of Industry 4.0, the network of interconnected machines, sensors, and software known as the IIoT plays a crucial role in transforming conventional manufacturing facilities into smart factories, notably in monitoring and optimising the manufacturing process. The issues about enormous record storage and how they react challenge conventional automated methods in the IIoT. Cognitive systems optimally modify production settings based on managing uncertainty and sensory inputs. This work uses the Internet of Things-based decision support system with cognitive automation (IoT-DSS-CA) for industrial informatics across the board, including data collection, transmission, processing, and storage. Incorporating the elements frequently neglected during digital transformation, the suggested method uses the business process management (BPM) paradigm to give a systematic approach that industrial organizations may employ to aid their path towards Industry 4.0. The proposed mechanism is thoroughly investigated and evaluated compared to an original solution using several sensing and decision-making features in industrial parameter settings determined by Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
