Industry 4.0 is a major change that occurs in the manufacturing industry where the application of internet-based technology and information technology is key in forming a value chain network. This study aims to explore the application of industry 4.0 in the perspective of technology adoption theory, with a qualitative approach to five garment companies in Indonesia. Application of Industry 4.0 is seen in two aspects, namely technology for production and management, and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) Framework is used as a reference in analysing the factors that influence companies in adopting industry 4.0. The results of this study indicated that Indonesian garment companies have done a considerable technological transformation into more sophisticated direction. Adoption of new production machines, improvement in software systems, and the new and improved construction of factories that lead to the use of more modern technology were conducted at firm level. However, in general there are no companies that completely deploy industry 4.0. Several factors were identified as the determinants to this adoption process; in the technological context it consists of benefits and costs consideration; in the organizational context, it includes management support and workforce competence; while in the environmental context it consists of the product life cycle, global competition, and government support.

Abstract Today’s mankind and all human activities are constantly changing and evolving in response to changes in technology, social and economic environments and climate. Those changes drive a “new” way of manufacturing industry. That novelty could be described as the organization of production processes based on technology and devices autonomously communicating with each other along the value chain. Decision-makers have to address this novelty (usually named as Industry 4.0) and try to develop appropriate information systems, physical facilities, and different kind of technologies capable of meeting the future needs of economy. As a consequence, there is a need for new paradigms of the way freight is move, store, realize, and supply through the world (logistics system). One of the proposed solutions is the Physical Internet, concept of open global logistics system which completely redefines current supply chain configuration, business models, and value-creation patterns.However, further detailed research on this topic is much needed. This paper aims to provide a balanced review of the variety of views considered among professionals in the field of Physical Internet with the final aim to identify the biggest challenges (technological, societal, business paradigm) of proposed new logistics paradigm as a practical solution in supporting Industry 4.0.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the financial resources invested in advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) and social capital (SC), in terms of the set of internal and external relationships a firm holds, have a positive effect on the adoption of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies. Furthermore, it tests whether the organizational context strengthens these relationships. Design/methodology/approach The authors used regression models to analyze data collected through an international survey carried out within the scope of a European project involving six Central European regions. Findings Results show that small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) having stronger internal and external SC have a higher propensity to adopt I4.0 technologies, and both management support and absorptive capacity (AC) strengthen these relationships, whereas investments in AMTs within the manufacturing area and internal SC have a positive association with the intensity of I4.0 adoption. However, in presence of a high level of management support and AC, the relationship between external SC and I4.0 adoption becomes positive and significant. Management support also moderates the impact that investments in AMTs in the manufacturing area and internal SC have on the intensity of adoption of I4.0 technologies. Originality/value This paper is one of the first to investigate the context of SMEs that, having fewer resources, face some difficulties in exploiting the potential of I4.0 revolution. Moreover, it adopts a broad perspective on the factors that facilitate the adoption of I4.0.

Abstract Social, economic, and technological recent developments leading companies to face new production challenges. Companies will need physical and virtual structures allowing cooperation and quick adaptation along all value chain. To this matter, one of the main foundations of industry 4.0 is the use of information and communication technologies systems. Many companies are using information and communication systems without integration with business partners and even also with internal departments. This gap needs to be analyzed and it can be made by measuring the status of the industry 4.0 enabling technologies adoption inside a company using maturity or readiness models transmitting knowledge and pathing initiatives to help on progress and monitorization, looking forward to the future status of the internal value chain. On a qualitative and quantitative matter, this study presents the industry 4.0 enabling technologies readiness level of three departments of an automotive company internal value chain. This case study shows different readiness level on each department and limitations to reach better levels such as potential results if the benefits of industry 4.0 enabling technologies were reach on a company that assumes to be aligned with the industry 4.0 strategy.

Technological development, automation, digitalization, networking, new forms of communication, etc. initiated a new industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0. It represents a new form of organization and control of the value chain in the product life cycle. By connecting and synergizing existing and new solutions and technologies of communication, data collection, exchange and analysis, production, process management, trade, etc. a new paradigm of human action, business and living has been created. A concept that is intensively changing production processes has emerged, but its effects are also visible in other areas of human activity, primarily trade, health, agriculture, logistics, etc. By applying the solutions and technologies of Industry 4.0 in the field of logistics, the concept of Logistics 4.0 was developed with the aim of achieving greater efficiency of logistics systems and processes. New technologies and solutions appear every day, but the backbone of the development of the Logistics 4.0 concept is comprised of several key technologies, such as: Internet of Things (IoT), Autonomous Vehicles (AV) and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), Big data, Data mining, Blockchain, Cloud Computing (CC), 3D printing, etc. The aim of this paper was to define and describe in detail the aforementioned technologies, as well as the possibilities of their application in the logistics systems and processes through a review of the relevant literature in this field. It can be concluded that logistics, as a multidisciplinary science, represents a fertile ground for the acceptance and further development of existing modern technologies, but also the initiator and incubator of new technologies that could easily go beyond logistics and become part of the family of Industry 4.0 solutions.

In the light of several national advanced manufacturing strategies such as Industry 4.0 in Germany or the Made in China 2025 initiative in China, this article examines the challenges of Industry 4.0 adoption of Japanese small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. A technology adoption model for Industry 4.0 is developed and empirically tested with 38 manufacturing companies. The results yield that the market uncertainty of the firm’s business is a significant driver for adoption in the short, medium, and long-term. Relative competitive advantage matters in the short term and top management support in the long-term. No support has been identified concerning advanced manufacturing complexity and market transparency of Industry 4.0 solutions.
