Abstract—Globalization is a process that has continuity, even though interrupted sometimes. Globalization has no loyalty to anything and this is its most prominent feature of globalization. It tries to create new paradigms according to new conditions of ages. Globalization can easily adapt to new situations. The fourth industrial revolution will begin in a very short time and will lead to a change in industrial, social and economic lives of people. This may create new industrial relations between capital and labour. The most important components of the fourth industrial revolution are smart factories, e-production applications and interaction between smart systems for excellent production processes. This research focuses on e-applications in the production process of textile industries from orders to delivering of goods.
Index Terms—Fourth industrial revolution, textile industries, e-applications, internet of things (IoT).
