“…Simulation and modeling techniques aim for simplification and economic favoring of the design, realization, tests and running a live operation of manufacturing systems (Kocian et al, 2012). In the smart factories, simulation and modeling will be necessary for leveraging real-time data to mirror the physical world in a virtual model, which can include machines, products and humans (Rüßmann et al, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to conduct a state-of-the-art review of the ongoing research on the Industry 4.0 phenomenon, highlight its key design principles and technology trends, identify its architectural design and offer a strategic roadmap that can serve manufacturers as a simple guide for the process of Industry 4.0 transition. Design/methodology/approach The study performs a systematic and content-centric review of literature based on a six-stage approach to identify key design principles and technology trends of Industry 4.0. The study further benefits from a comprehensive content analysis of the 178 documents identified, both manually and via IBM Watson’s natural language processing for advanced text analysis. Findings Industry 4.0 is an integrative system of value creation that is comprised of 12 design principles and 14 technology trends. Industry 4.0 is no longer a hype and manufacturers need to get on board sooner rather than later. Research limitations/implications The strategic roadmap presented in this study can serve academicians and practitioners as a stepping stone for development of a detailed strategic roadmap for successful transition from traditional manufacturing into the Industry 4.0. However, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy that suits all businesses or industries, meaning that the Industry 4.0 roadmap for each company is idiosyncratic, and should be devised based on company’s core competencies, motivations, capabilities, intent, goals, priorities and budgets. Practical implications The first step for transitioning into the Industry 4.0 is the development of a comprehensive strategic roadmap that carefully identifies and plans every single step a manufacturing company needs to take, as well as the timeline, and the costs and benefits associated with each step. The strategic roadmap presented in this study can offer as a holistic view of common steps that manufacturers need to undertake in their transition toward the Industry 4.0. Originality/value The study is among the first to identify, cluster and describe design principles and technology trends that are building blocks of the Industry 4.0. The strategic roadmap for Industry 4.0 transition presented in this study is expected to assist contemporary manufacturers to understand what implementing the Industry 4.0 really requires of them and what challenges they might face during the transition process.

“…According to industry reports, AR has been used by modern manufacturers to facilitate workforce preparation and simplify maintenance as well as quality control. [73] Modeling and Simulation: The purpose of modeling and simulation techniques is to ease a manufacturing system's design, implementation, testing, and control in real-time [74]. Due to the complexity of I4.0 and the challenges associated with its implementation and coordination, simulation can be used to facilitate the usage of all components of such systems, such as robots, information technology, manufacturing, and logistics [ 59 ] .…”

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has increasingly been adopted as an advanced manufacturing strategy to counter global competition. The capability of a company to compete on various manufacturing strategy outputs (MSOs) such as cost, quality, delivery, flexibility, performance and innovativeness play a significant role in motivating the whole company to take advantage of its competitors. I4.0 is comprised of various technologies, and how I4.0 technologies can influence the MSOs are still unclear, and it took less interest in the literature. This article aims to analyze the influence of the I4.0 technologies on MSOs to achieve market competitiveness from the perspective of academic and industry experts. To do so, the influence of the adoption of various I4.0 technologies on the MSOs was investigated. Expert opinions were gathered on the relationship between manufacturing competitive capabilities and I4.0 technologies. The identification of the influential relationships provides arguments for the proposed I4.0 technology selections, which will allow companies to gain a highly competitive advantage. The results showed that the performance (regarding the MSOs) had a high potential for integration with different I4.0 technologies.

A fourth industrial revolution is prophesied, and there is a potential for the industrialized world to proactively adapt suitable practices. Despite the large interest from both industry and academia, a drawback with the vast literature on initiatives that tap into the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 and alike, is the fuzziness when it comes to terminology and content. The terms are mixed up, and sometimes used interchangeable and the constituent parts are not fully described. The purpose of this paper is to present the content of initiatives related to the fourth industrial revolution in a structured manner. This is expected to support understanding for the content of the fourth industrial revolution and thereby facilitate the transformation. The results presented in this paper is based on a traditional literature review. In total 13 relevant review papers were identified. The identified papers were analyzed, and a framework was developed including technologies and design principles. In total, eleven technologies and twelve design principles were identified for Industry 4.0. The most frequently occurring technologies were Cyber physical systems, Internet of Things, and Big data. The most frequently occurring design principles were Smart factory, Service orientation and Sustainability and resource efficiency. A categorization of the content into technologies and design principles clarify and structures the content of Industry 4.0. The developed framework can support academics in identifying, describing, and selecting Industry 4.0 scenarios for further investigations. For practitioners, the framework can give a basic understanding and some guidance in their implementation journey of Industry 4.0.
