Im Zuge der Einführung von Industrie 4.0 fühlen sich viele Unternehmen überfordert, zielgerichtete und bedarfsgerechte Einführungsstrategien zu entwickeln. Dieser Fachbeitrag stellt ein unternehmensindividuelles und problemorientiertes Vorgehen vor, bei dem ausgehend von einer Reifegradermittlung Potentiale ermittelt und mit Methoden der Industrie 4.0 gehoben werden. Diskutiert werden die iterativen Schritte für eine problemspezifische Auswahl und Anwendung von Industrie 4.0-Methoden.   Considering recent developments in terms of the industrial progression to “smart factories” and the fourth industrial revolution, companies are overwhelmed and seem to be incapable to develop appropriate implementation strategies. This paper focuses on an individual, problem-oriented approach in order to assess and implement Industry 4.0 methods based on a maturity model. Therefore, the iterative steps of an approach for achieving a problem-specific Industry 4.0 implementation are discussed.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, finally, will change not only what we do but also who we are. It will affect our identity and all the issues associated with it: our sense of privacy, our notions of ownership, our consumption patterns, the time we devote to work and leisure, and how we developour careers, cultivate our skills, meet people, and nurture relationships. The technological revolution in the modern developing environment in which innovative technologies and trends such as the virtual reality (VR), Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics are fundamentally altering the way of living, working and relationships to one another, is known as Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 or Industrie 4.0. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is reshaping every sphere of human life — from government to commerce; from education to healthcare. It is even impacting humanvalues, opportunities, relationships and identities by modifying virtual as well as physical worlds of human beings.

Purpose: To address the challenges regarding the concept of Industry 4.0 and the diversification methodology and based on the strategic guidance towards Industry 4.0, we propose a process model as a guiding framework for Industry 4.0 collaborative diversification vision, strategy and action building. In this paper we suggest a stage process model to guide and train companies to identify new opportunities for diversification within Industry 4.0. Systematically carrying out the stages will take a company to their individual specific vision and collaborative vision between different companies in the Industry 4.0 scenario.Design/methodology/approach: This new collaborative diversification methodology involves industry within the pilot program; from the diversification and capacity assessment analysis of the company`s profile, skills and technologies that dominates, to identify the diversification opportunity map and its business modeling within the Industry 4.0 paradigm.Findings: The application of maturity models to the Industry 4.0 may help organizations to integrate this methodology into their culture. Results show a real need for guided support in developing a company-specific Industry 4.0 vision and specific project planning.Originality/value: Industry 4.0 promotes a vision where recent developments in information technology are expected to enable entirely new forms of cooperative engineering and manufacturing. The vision of industry 4.0 describes a whole new approach to business operations, and especially the production industries. To address the challenges regarding the concept of Industry 4.0 and the diversification methodology discussed above, and based on the strategic guidance towards Industry 4.0, we propose a unique process model as a guiding framework for Industry 4.0 collaborative diversification vision, strategy and action building.

AbstractWith regard to the currently perceptible technological, social and economic change, also known as the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” or “Internet of Things”, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular are confronted with various obstacles in their attempt of keeping pace. For example, there is a lack of orientation of which I4.0 technology is suitable for a target-oriented application. Furthermore, the actual or potential effects of I4.0 can only be estimated insufficiently and SMEs are at a disadvantage compared to large companies due to lower monetary and personnel capacities. In this publication these obstacles on the way to become an I4.0 company are taken up and the core elements of a methodical solution approach in the form of the “Potential Model” are explained in detail. Thereby the Potential Model is intended to support SMES at the rough-quantitative evaluation of I4.0 and the development of I4.0 implementation strategies with minimal monetary and time-related efforts needed.

The future of education matters to all of us. This chapter presents a theoretical-inductive construction of the future of education, inspired by the advancements envisaged in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (also abbreviated to Industry 4.0 or IR4.0). Recent developments in the technological field make it imperative that university syllabi foster and grow technological and non-cognitive soft skills in tandem. The latter—socio-emotional skills—are considered crucial skills that endow “buoyancy” and resilience to the workforce. Empathy, cultural sensitivity, and tolerance are the key professional skills that should be nurtured among the upcoming generation of digital natives. The chapter builds on a previous publication and aims at advancing concrete proposals for the future of university education.

Recent developments in production processes and their automation have led to the definition of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, commonly known as “Industry 4.0”. Industry 4.0 is a very broad domain that includes: production processes, efficiency, data management, relationship with consumers, competitiveness, and much more. At the same time, obviously, Industry 4.0 has become a new theme for management scholars and business economics disciplines and a number of contributions covering various issues and aspects have been published. However, a systematic formulation of all these contributions is still lacking in management literature. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to analyze and classify the main contributions published on the topic of Industry 4.0 in management literature, seeking to give it a unique definition, discover the gaps still remaining in literature and outline future avenues of research in this domain. A systematic review of the literature of the major academic and research databases has been used as methodology to achieve the aim of the paper. This work contributes theoretically to the development of literature on Industry 4.0 and from a managerial perspective it could support entrepreneurs in better understanding the implications and fields of application of the Fourth Industrial Revolution as well as the interplay among them.

Under the scenario of the fourth industrial revolution, the adoption of Industry 4.0 in the day-to-day business of small and medium enterprises (SME) entails expected challenges. Focusing primarily on more advanced levels of maturity, the existing maturity models are inadequate for assessing companies with low maturity levels, such as most of existing SMEs. A framework for a maturity model tailored to SMEs is proposed in this paper, allowing for a comprehensive and high granularity assessment of these companies’ maturity levels, which then eases their integration into this industrial revolution. The proposed holistic model considers all Industry 4.0 dimensions while being detailed enough in its initial levels to properly assess SMEs at the same time.

The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies has become particularly important nowadays for companies in order to optimize their production processes and organizational structures. However, companies sometimes find it difficult to develop a strategic plan that innovates their current business model and develops an Industry 4.0 vision. To overcome the growing uncertainty and dissatisfaction in implementing Industry 4.0, new methods and tools that specifically address dedicated companies’ areas, such as logistics, supply chain management, and manufacturing processes, were developed to provide guidance and support to align companies’ business strategies and operations. In particular, this paper develops and presents the application of a maturity model for Logistics 4.0, focusing on the specific applications of Industry 4.0 in the area of logistics. To do so, extant maturity models, linked to the context of Industry 4.0 implementation in logistics processes, were examined in the main scientific research. Afterward, two companies have been investigated through a survey, built around three fundamental macro-aspects, named (i) the propensity of the company towards Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0, (ii) the current use of technologies in the logistics process, and (iii) the investments’ level towards Industry 4.0 technologies for a Logistics 4.0 transition. By doing so, a maturity model for Logistics 4.0 emerged as the main result of our research, able to identify the level of maturity of companies in implementing the Industry 4.0 technologies in their logistics processes. Moreover, the model highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the two investigated companies with respect to the transition towards Logistics 4.0. On the basis of the obtained results, a roadmap for enhancing the digitalization of logistics processes, according to the principles of the fourth industrial revolution, was finally proposed.

Der umfassende Einsatz von vernetzten Industrierobotern mit verbesserten sensorischen, motorischen sowie fertigungstechnischen Eigenschaften ist ein wichtiger Enabler von Industrie 4.0. Diese Entwicklung wird jedoch nicht nur die Produktion an sich verändern, sondern auch die Produktionsstätten, in denen diese Formen der Industrieproduktion stattfinden. Dieser Beitrag stellt die räumlichen Anforderungen an Industriebauten vor und aggregiert diese in einen neuen Fabriktypus: die Robofaktur.   The increasing application of industrial robots with enhanced capabilities is an important enabler for the fourth industrial revolution. This development, however, will not only change the production process itself, but also has implications on the production facilities. This article introduces the spatial requirements for industrial buildings of the fourth industrial revolution and aggregates them in a new factory typology, the robo-factory.
