“…Complex tasks that require flexibility and ad hoc problem-solving skills will still belong to human workers, making them a necessity in the factories of the future (Fantini et al, 2016;Richert et al, 2016;Romero et al, 2016).…”

“…It is mentioned that hybrid teams of humans and robots will support demographic and diverse team structures, and the physical limitations of human workers are compensated through human-robot interactions, where robots help workers lift heavy items or take over other physical tasks. A step further in the direction of human-robot collaboration will be autonomous robots identifying and adapting to workers' individual strengths and taking on the role of an equal supportive workmate (Richert, Shehadeh, Müller, et al, 2016a).…”

The journey toward Industry 4.0 and the increasing implementation of Cyber Physical Systems are evoking changes in human work and work organization, thus, creating new challenges and opportunities. To take advantage of these opportunities and deal with the challenges, we must gain a holistic understanding of the emerging socio-technical interactions and apply new human-centric approaches and methods when introducing new digital technologies and designing Industry 4.0-enabled work systems. In this paper, we present the findings of a systematic literature review, consisting of quantitative and qualitative data, focusing on investigating to what extent, what type, and how academic publications on Industry 4.0 integrate human factors and ergonomics in their research. Based on these findings, we point to future research needs, highlighting the need for further empirical evidence and improved collaboration between the academic fields of Industry 4.0, human factors, and ergonomics, as well as with practitioners.

Human factors have always been an important part of research in industry, but more recently the idea of sustainable development has attracted considerable interest for manufacturing companies and management practitioners. Incorporating human factors into a decision system is a difficult challenge for manufacturing companies because the data related to human factors are difficult to sense and integrate into the decision-making processes. Our objectives with this review are to propose an overview of the different methods to measure human factors, of the solutions to reduce the occupational strain for workers and of the technical solutions to integrate these measures and solutions into a complex industrial decision system. The Scopus database was systematically searched for works from 2014 to 2021 that describe some aspects of human factors in industry. We categorized these works into three different classes, representing the specificity of the studied human factor. This review aims to show the main differences between the approaches of short-term fatigue, long-term physical strain and psychosocial risks. Long-term physical strain is the subject that concentrates the most research efforts, mainly with physical and simulation techniques to highlight physical constraints at work. Short-term fatigue and psychosocial constraints have become a growing concern in industry due to new technologies that increase the requirements of cognitive activities of workers. Human factors are taking an important place in the sustainable development of industry, in order to ameliorate working conditions. However, vigilance is required because health-related data creation and exploitation are sensible for the integrity and privacy of workers.

“…Robots are pointed to as one of the most notable benefits of Industry 4.0 [11]. Previous studies [12,13] mentioned a future scenario for the manufacturing industry where repetitive, simple, and monotonous tasks will be eliminated or supported by introducing robotic solutions. The hybrid teams composed of humans and robots will support the demographic diversity of workers teams, as well as the physical limitations of human workers, where robots help or take over the most demanding physical tasks.…”

Industry 4.0 has led to a widespread and impactful evolution of technology that is transforming industry and organizations in general. Collaborative robotics is considered one of the new features in this movement allowing humans and robots to work together in perfect collaboration. This paper presents the implementation of one collaborative robot in an assembly process and analyses its impact on performance and ergonomic work conditions. In terms of ergonomic conditions, the musculoskeletal risk was assessed, comparing both processes (without and with robotics support). The results demonstrated that collaborative robotics is a solution that allows improving the ergonomic work conditions throughout the assembly process.
