Quality 4.0 corresponds to the growing digitisation of industry, which uses advanced technologies to enhance the quality of manufacturing and services. This fourth quality revolution is envisaged to digitise the entire quality systems and subsequently improve the existing quality approaches. Innovative industries adopt cloud-based quality 4.0 innovations in the controlled production process. It is used to resolve quality problems satisfactorily when they emerge and carry out real-time quality analyses to improve competitiveness and use them. Various ongoing challenges are take-over by Quality 4.0 technologies, such as automated root cause analysis, machine-to-machine connectivity to parameter auto adjustment, simulation of real-time processes and more. Quality 4.0 is a modern form of quality management. Digital technologies paired with more sophisticated methods and smarter processes will allow high-performance teams to provide consumers with high-performance and quality goods reliably. Sensors play an essential role in improving the quality of manufacturing and services. These can improve protection, increased internal productivity and sustainable operations. This paper provides how quality 4.0 will have a significant impact in the field of manufacturing. Various Key Aspects and enablers of Quality 4.0 for Manufacturing are discussed, finally, Identified and discussed eighteen significant applications of Quality 4.0 in the field of manufacturing. Quality 4.0 not only concerns the things happening inside a factory; it also includes the complete supply chain from Research and Development (R&D), manufacturing, development, distribution, sales, and service after-sales.
