The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic accelerates the Industry 4.0 implementation in the various walk of business processes. The tightly and loosely coupled integration among machines and the processes through intelligent software systems and pervasive computing promises a higher level of automation based on real-time prediction-based control systems. Therefore, Industry 4.0 plays a vital role in maintaining a balance between social distancing compliance and production demand. The proposed system introduces a novel model where the agricultural process is considered automated in adherence to Industry 4.0 standards over rural areas complying with the situation of the COVID pandemic. The proposed model offers a sophisticated operation of sustainability and introduces a new analytical model for Industry 4.0. The simulated outcome shows that the proposed system offers a cost-effective solution towards achieving better sustainability in agricultural innovation. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
