Purpose In recent years, the development and application of innovative and disruptive technologies in manufacturing environments is shaping the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0. The purpose of this paper is to describe a tool to assess the maturity level in implementing Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies in manufacturing companies. Design/methodology/approach Using a framework to develop maturity models found in literature, three main steps were taken: the model design from the literature review on industry 4.0 and the comparative analysis of existing models; interviews with engineers and managers of relevant industries; and pilot tests in two relevant industrial companies. Findings The proposed maturity model has 41 variables considering five dimensions (organizational strategy, structure and culture; workforce; smart factories; smart processes; smart products and services). The studied companies showed different levels of Industry 4.0 implementation. According to respondents, the model is useful in making an initial diagnosis and establishes a roadmap to proceed the implementation. Practical implications Empirical evidence supports the relevance of the proposed model and its practical usefulness. It can be used to measure the current state (initial diagnostic and monitoring assessments), and to plan the future desired state (goal), identifying which transformational capabilities should be developed. Originality/value The literature review did not return an enough complete maturity model to guide a self-administered assessment. Therefore, the proposed model is a valuable tool for companies and researchers to understand the I4.0 phenomenon, plan and monitor the transformation actions.

Technologieorientierte Ansätze bei der Konzeption von digitalisierten Produktionssystemen können zu Inkohärenzen und geringerer Effektivität des Gesamtsystems führen. Durch den hier vorgestellten zielorientierten und reifegradbasierten Ansatz wird eine Systembetrachtung ermöglicht. Das Resultat ist ein unternehmensindividuelles, abgestimmtes Konzept zur Integration von Industrie 4.0-Lösungen in ein bestehendes schlankes Produktionssystem.   Technology oriented approaches for digitalized production systems could cause incoherencies and a limited effectivity of the overall system. The presented goal-oriented approach based on a maturity model enables an overall system evaluation. Result is a company-specific, harmonized concept to integrate Industry 4.0 solutions in an existing lean production system.

Industry 4.0 has attracted the attention of manufacturing companies over the past ten years. Despite efforts in research and knowledge transfer from research to practice, the introduction of Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies is still a major challenge for many companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Many of these SMEs have no overview of existing Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies, how they are implemented in their own companies, and which concepts and technologies should primarily be focused on future Industry 4.0 implementation measures. The aim of this research was to develop an assessment model for SMEs that is easy to apply, provides a clear overview of existing Industry 4.0 concepts, and supports SMEs in defining their individual strategy to introduce Industry 4.0 in their firm. The maturity level-based assessment tool presented in this work includes a catalog of 42 Industry 4.0 concepts and a norm strategy based on the results of the assessment to support SMEs in introducing the most promising concepts. For testing and validation purposes, the assessment model has been applied in a field study with 17 industrial companies.

Industrie 4.0-Technologie verspricht Unterstützung bei der Erfüllung komplexer Produktionsaufgaben. Bisher verhindern jedoch historisch gewachsene, industrielle Kommunikationsnetze durch die oft wenig semantische, strikte Kommunikation entlang der bestehenden Ebenen der Automatisierungspyramide eine effiziente Umsetzung der Prinzipien von „Smart Factories“. Diese Veröffentlichung thematisiert die Entwicklung semantischer Kommunikationsschnittstellen am Beispiel des Karosseriebaus der Audi AG.   Industry 4.0 technology promises to support the fulfillment of complex production tasks. Even today, historically grown industrial communication networks prevent an efficient implementation of smart factory principles, especially due to a lack of semantics and the strict communication along the existing layers of the automation pyramid. This publication focuses on the development of semantic communication interfaces using the example of the digitalization of the vehicle body construction at the Audi AG.

Nowadays, manufacturing companies in Indonesia are facing a great challenge in Industry 4.0 era. Manufacturing companies perceive Industry 4.0 is complex and could disturb their business process with uncertainty in results by implementing it. In other side, manufacturing companies also have difficulty in assessing their readiness to start Industry 4.0 transformation process and fail to prepare strategies and action plans clearly. This research developed a measurement model of Industry 4.0 readiness with 2 aspects, 5 dimensions and 20 variables that could be used by manufacturing companies to asses their current state. The dimensions “Awareness” and  “Leadership and Strategy” are used to measure company readiness in “Knowledge” aspect, while the dimensions “People and Culture”, “Technology” and “Operation” are used to measure company readiness in “Resources Capability” aspect. The result of the measurement categories the company in 4 level of readiness, i.e.: “Not Ready”, “Conditional Ready”, “Basic Readiness” and “Fully Ready”. This model has been tested and used to measure Industry 4.0 readiness for an electronic manufacturing company located in Jabodetabek and showed that the model is easy and practical to be used in a real manufacturing company.   Keywords: Industry 4.0, readiness measurement, readiness model, readiness index
