fusion aims to improve productivity, optimize pro-
cesses, and significantly reduce waste of materials
and money. Industry 4.0 leverages advanced tech-
nologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artifi-
cial intelligence (AI), machine learning, big data an-
alytics, and blockchain to create interconnected sys-
tems. These technologies facilitate real-time moni-
toring, predictive maintenance, and seamless commu-
nication at all levels of production(Dalenogare et al.,
2018). Beyond these capabilities, this technology can
also improve the safety and security environment of
industrial workers and employees.
This work proposes a novel Industry 4.0 retrofit
solution specifically designed to prevent accidents in
industrial environments by focusing on the opera-
tion of band saw machines. Unlike traditional safety
mechanisms, which often rely solely on reactive mea-
sures, this solution introduces an integration of ma-
chine learning-based pattern recognition to monitor
and enhance worker safety proactively. The machine
learning system continuously monitors the work area
for dangerous movements, sending immediate com-
mands to stop the machine in case of a potential haz-
ard, as depicted in Figure 9.
A key scientific contribution of this work is the
proposal of integrating technology into mechanical
machines to enhance not only productivity but also
safety.
This combination of real-time hazard detection
represents a significant advancement in industrial
safety systems, ensuring immediate and long-term
protection in high-risk environments. The proposed
methodology contributes to the field by providing a
scalable solution that can be adapted to various in-
dustrial processes, establishing a new standard for ac-
cident prevention and safety management in Industry
4.0 environments.

This section presents articles about using pattern
recognition in an industry 4.0 context. The paper
(Serey et al., 2023) highlights the growing impor-
tance of PR and DL due to the increased volume of
data generated and the need for efficient management
of this data in asymmetric structures. Examines re-
cent PR and DL applications, evaluating their ability
to process large volumes of data and identify signifi-
cant patterns. The review includes an in-depth study
of 186 references, selecting 120 for detailed analy-
sis. PR and DL are integrated with various computa-
tional techniques, such as data mining, data science,
and cognitive systems, to improve automation and
reduce human intervention in decision-making pro-
cesses. Challenges include the need for large datasets
for practical training, the high cost of computational,
and the difficulty in interpreting deeply nested mod-
els.
The article (Zouhal et al., 2021) Provides a com-
prehensive view of how industrial inspection can be
transformed within the context of Industry 4.0. It fo-
cuses on adapting industrial inspection to new tech-
nologies that allow for an agile and personalized
configuration and integrating cameras embedded in
robots to automate visual inspection. Discusses the
state of the art in visual computing applied to in-
dustrial inspection, highlighting how techniques Ad-
vanced image processing and machine learning are
transforming inspection equipment and quality con-
trol. The case study shows how cameras embedded in
industrial robots can perform image acquisitions and
processing to detect wear on tools and other anoma-
lies in a production environment. The suggestion
is that data collected during automated inspections
could be used to train predictive maintenance algo-
rithms.
(Oborski and Wysocki, 2022) explores the use
of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to im-
prove visual quality for control systems in Industry
4.0. Several AI algorithms were evaluated to identify
those most suitable for visual quality control tasks in
a real manufacturing environment. CNNs were cho-
sen for further study because of their effectiveness
in processing images and performing complex clas-
sification and detection tasks. CNN algorithms were
tested with production line datasets and photos. In
which he showed efficiency.
The paper (Sharma and Sethi, 2024)show high-
lights the importance of agriculture in the economy
and how plant diseases can significantly affect agri-
cultural production. Recognizes the need for effec-
tive methods to detect diseases early to reduce losses.
Utilizes deep learning techniques, specifically CNNs,
which are well suited to data processing tasks im-
age processing due to its ability to extract essential
features from large datasets of images. The model
allows for a more precise identification of areas af-
fected by wheat leaf diseases, separating them pixel
by pixel. The article presents a significant improve-
ment in classifying diseases in wheat leaves, achiev-
ing a 99.43 percent accuracy using Point Rend seg-
mentation, compared to 96.08 percent without seg-
mentation.
