“…Eye-tracking can be used to analyze the user experience of engineering design and manufacturing [89]. A theoretical human-centered framework for operator 4.0 using digital twin based simulation and real-time human data capture can be used to provide insights on operator ergonomics and mental workload [69].…”

“…Industry 4.0 technologies should support operators in their tasks, either by directly helping them or by providing meaningful information to assembly system design engineers. Peruzzini et al developed a theoretical human-centered framework for Operator 4.0 using digital twin-based simulation, and real-time human data capture can be used to provide insights on operator ergonomics and mental workload [69]. In a similar way, Mattson et al propose a method of measuring the wellbeing and performance of operators at assembly stations using electro-dermal activity [88].…”

In a demand context of mass customization, shifting towards the mass personalization of products, assembly operations face the trade-off between highly productive automated systems and flexible manual operators. Novel digital technologies—conceptualized as Industry 4.0—suggest the possibility of simultaneously achieving superior productivity and flexibility. This article aims to address how Industry 4.0 technologies could improve the productivity, flexibility and quality of assembly operations. A systematic literature review was carried out, including 234 peer-reviewed articles from 2010–2020. As a result, the analysis was structured addressing four sets of research questions regarding (1) assembly for mass customization; (2) Industry 4.0 and performance evaluation; (3) Lean production as a starting point for smart factories, and (4) the implications of Industry 4.0 for people in assembly operations. It was found that mass customization brings great complexity that needs to be addressed at different levels from a holistic point of view; that Industry 4.0 offers powerful tools to achieve superior productivity and flexibility in assembly; that Lean is a great starting point for implementing such changes; and that people need to be considered central to Assembly 4.0. Developing methodologies for implementing Industry 4.0 to achieve specific business goals remains an open research topic.

“…The fourth relationship which gets changed is between organization and humans. Industry 4.0 entails improved work conditions, ergonomically challenging tasks will be carried out by robots &cobots, human-oriented interfaces [32]. Thus, an organization strategy while implementing Industry 4.0 should consider all four aspects.…”

For India to be a global economic superpower, the Indian Engineering Industry which at present is the largest foreign exchange earner must make its strong presence in the global markets. Industry 4.0 is one such initiative which has the power to transform the Indian Engineering Industry to be globally competitive along several strategic dimensions. Industry 4.0 is gradually making inroads and yet, there is no model to assess whether the Indian Engineering Industry is prepared to implement Industry 4.0. This study develops a multi-dimensional Industry4.0 readiness model by analysing in-depth the extant literature. A theoretical framework for assessment is developed. Further, the developed model is qualitatively analysed using the ABCD framework. Practical application of Industry 4.0 readiness model in Indian Engineering Industries is discussed. This is the first Industry 4.0 readiness model developed for Indian Engineering Industries.

“…As a consequence, digitization is changing the manner in which goods are produced and, thus, the role of the operators, which are increasingly called to manage and supervise production systems to enhance flexibility and adaptability. This presents a special opportunity for organizations to develop smart workspaces, improve the working conditions and workers' wellbeing, and to benefit sustainability from multiple viewpoints [5]. However, the digital transformation does not only imply an advancement 2 of 16 in technology but also a renovated attention to sustainability and user experience.…”

Product and process digitalization is pervading numerous areas in the industry to improve quality and reduce costs. In particular, digital models enable virtual simulations to predict product and process performances, as well as to generate digital contents to improve the general workflow. Digital models can also contain additional contents (e.g., model-based design (MBD)) to provide online and on-time information about process operations and management, as well as to support operator activities. The recent developments in augmented reality (AR) offer new specific interfaces to promote the great diffusion of digital contents into industrial processes, thanks to flexible and robust applications, as well as cost-effective devices. However, the impact of AR applications on sustainability is still poorly explored in research. In this direction, this paper proposed an innovative approach to exploit MBD and introduce AR interfaces in the industry to support human intensive processes. Indeed, in those processes, the human contribution is still crucial to guaranteeing the expected product quality (e.g., quality inspection). The paper also analyzed how this new concept can benefit sustainability and define a set of metrics to assess the positive impact on sustainability, focusing on social aspects.
