Industry 4.0 has emerged as an important era for process monitoring and improvement. Our expository paper provides a historical perspective on research and practice of statistical process monitoring (SPM) from the 1920s to the present to bring a high-level view of current practice and research directions. We focus on the Industry 4.0 era, which began around 2011 with the introduction of cyber-physical systems and the growth of the Internet of Things. These technological changes have brought tremendous challenges and opportunities to SPM that can only be met with new paradigms for the problems we aim to solve and the approaches we use to evaluate SPM methodology. We provide our perspective on these challenges, primarily focusing on industrial applications. We give recommendations on the evaluation and comparison of monitoring methods to improve the usefulness of research in this area.
