Quantum AIoT Framework for Cognitive Business Optimization: A Hybrid Quantum-Classical Approach for Real-Time Decision-Making

In the era of Industry 5.0, businesses require decision-making capabilities that are not only fast but also context-aware and adaptive to volatile operational environments. Traditional Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) systems—despite their automation potential—face performance bottlenecks in solving large-scale optimization problems in real time. The Cognitive Internet of Things (CIoT) introduces semantic understanding and contextual reasoning, but classical computing infrastructures limit its scalability.
