“…The number of papers in the last five years shows that there is a significant research effort towards the modernization of these sectors. A risk assessment to handle the hazards imposed on collaborative robot applications and safety issues for Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) is presented in Hull & Minarcin (2016). Systems for the autonomous assembly of furniture sets (e.g., tables, chairs) using multiple robots are presented in (P. Knepper et al, 2013;Suárez-Ruiz et al, 2018).…”

The traditional manufacturing sectors (footwear, textiles and clothing, furniture and toys, among others) are based on small and medium enterprises with limited capacity on investing in modern production technologies. Although these sectors rely heavily on product customization and short manufacturing cycles, they are still not able to take full advantage of the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 surfaced to address the current challenges of shorter product life-cycles, highly customized products and stiff global competition. The new manufacturing paradigm supports the development of modular factory structures within a computerized Internet of Things environment. With Industry 4.0, rigid planning and production processes can be revolutionized. However, the computerization of manufacturing has a high degree of complexity and its implementation tends to be expensive, which goes against the reality of SMEs that power the traditional sectors. This paper reviews the main scientific-technological advances that have been developed in recent years in traditional sectors with the aim of facilitating the transition to the new industry standard.
