“…For example, Dalle Mura and Dini ( 2019 ) optimized ergonomics in assembly lines by proposing a multi-objective genetic algorithm capturing human factors: age, gender, weight, height, and skill. However, Katiraee et al ( 2019 ) indicated that human differences regarding age and skill have been well studied in the literature, while few studies investigate other human aspects, including cognitive abilities. Therefore, future research on the topic should be ready to accommodate individualization in accordance with human diversity to encapsulate a new relationship between society and technology in the context of Industry 4.0.…”

Human-centred design in industry 4.0: case study review and opportunities for future research

The transition to industry 4.0 has impacted factories, but it also affects the entire value chain. In this sense, human-centred factors play a core role in transitioning to sustainable manufacturing processes and consumption. The awareness of human roles in Industry 4.0 is increasing, as evidenced by active work in developing methods, exploring influencing factors, and proving the effectiveness of design oriented to humans. However, numerous studies have been brought into existence but then disconnected from other studies. As a consequence, these studies in industry and research alike are not regularly adopted, and the network of studies is seemingly broad and expands without forming a coherent structure. This study is a unique attempt to bridge the gap through the literature characteristics and lessons learnt derived from a collection of case studies regarding human-centred design (HCD) in the context of Industry 4.0. This objective is achieved by a well-rounded systematic literature review whose special unit of analysis is given to the case studies, delivering contributions in three ways: (1) providing an insight into how the literature has evolved through the cross-disciplinary lens; (2) identifying what research themes associated with design methods are emerging in the field; (3) and setting the research agenda in the context of HCD in Industry 4.0, taking into account the lessons learnt, as uncovered by the in-depth review of case studies.

“…In fact, Sgarbossa et al (2020), have recently highlighted the strong need of the design of individualised, customised solutions in the context of managing increased diversity in workers, including a range of perceptual, cognitive and physical capabilities and needs. Then, this study extends the initial study by Katiraee et al (2019) presented in a conference paper by considering more features, analysing more scientific papers, introducing two new classifications and conducting a deeper analysis of the existing contributions. This extended analysis resulted in the comprehensive future research agenda provided in this paper.…”

The effects of workforce differences on manufacturing systems have attracted the attention of a wide range of researchers in recent years. The differences between workers in terms of skills, age, gender and anthropometric measures have a large impact on production system performance. In this study, the workforce differences factors in production system design and modelling were investigated, with the aim of understanding how the differences between workers could influence a production system and how they had been considered in previous studies. The papers selected from the Scopus database were categorised based on whether how human factors are incorporated into manufacturing system optimisation and design approaches is discussed therein or is not. To find relevant papers, two sets of keywords were defined: (1) keywords relating to the differences between workers and (2) keywords relating to the kind of problem under study. Furthermore, the investigated papers helped highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the existing literature and derive a discussion on the possible future research steps.

“…The industrial scenario has tasks that are difficult to automatable. Also, a range of industrial activities are linked to the human and even in an automated scenario is human intervention (Katiraee, Battini, Battaia, & Calzavara, 2019). In contrast, in Industry 4.0 has an abandonment in the subject of human interaction with the production system (Angelopoulou et al, 2020).…”

“…Most studies in the field of Industry 4.0 focused on models without the human interaction or a weak interaction. Within the supply chain, humans are direct consumers of products or services (Katiraee et al, 2019).…”

“…One tool implemented has been the use of digital representations of humans in CPPS. The replication, analysis and prediction of behavior is allowed human based on internal or external factors (Katiraee et al, 2019). Although, the most studied external factors are ergonomic factors, evaluating posture and environmental conditions of the workplace.…”

La cuarta revolución industrial es una transformación de los modelos de manufactura y servicios mediante la aplicación de tendencias digitales y nuevas tecnologías que permitan la flexibilización de los procesos y la creación de nuevos de mercados en las compañías. Las industrias actuales buscan una satisfacción elevada del cliente y un manejo eficiente de la cadena de abastecimiento que le permita permanecer en el entorno incierto y mercado volátil en el cual se encuentra. Mediante este enfoque nace los Sistemas Ciberfisicos, encargados de la coordinación y manejo de los diferentes componentes, siendo una tecnología habilitadora en el contexto de la transformación digital. Por otra parte, es innegable el aporte del capital humano en los procesos productivos. A pesar de esto, son pocos los avances que se tienen para la integración de los humanos dentro de los sistemas productivos de la cuarta revolución industrial. Mediante la articulación entre los sistemas ciberfisicos y nuevas tecnologías como lo es el Digital Twin, el presente trabajo busca brindar un modelo que tenga en cuenta el comportamiento del humano dentro del sistema sin afectar la eficiencia operativa.
