Very well into the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0), humankind can hardly distinguish between what is artificial and what is natural (e.g., man-made virus and natural virus). Thus, the level of discombobulation among people, companies, or countries is indeed unprecedented. The fact that industry 4.0 is explosively disrupting or retrofitting each and every industrial sector makes industry 4.0 the famous buzzword amongst researchers today. However, the insight of industry 4.0 disruption into the industrial sectors remains ill-defined in both academic and nonacademic literature. The present study aimed at identifying industry 4.0 neologisms, understanding the industry 4.0 disruption and illustrating the disruptive technology convergence in the major industrial sectors. A total of 99 neologisms of industry 4.0 were identified. Industry 4.0 disruption in the education industry (education 4.0), energy industry (energy 4.0), agriculture industry (agriculture 4.0), healthcare industry (healthcare 4.0), and logistics industry (logistics 4.0) was described. The convergence of 12 disruptive technologies including 3D printing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, big data, blockchain, cloud computing, drones, Internet of Things, nanotechnology, robotics, simulation, and synthetic biology in agriculture, healthcare, and logistics industries was illustrated. The study divulged the need for extensive research to expand the application areas of the disruptive technologies in the industrial sectors.

“…By increasing the speed of printing, the supply of such printed food will increase because of the increase in daily production, thereby making it more demanded by consumers owing to their added benefits as opposed to conventional food. Food making has become more agile with 3D printer and has become quick responsiveness to customer demand (Kubáč and Kodym, 2017). The entire supply chain can be optimized to produce any required demand contingent upon the speed of printing.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report the analysis of factors influencing additive manufacturing (AM) application in the food domain. Design/methodology/approach Based on literature review, 16 factors are being considered in the study. Interpretive structural modelling is used as a modelling approach. The derived structural model indicates the dominant factors. Matriced’ impacts croises-multipication applique and classment (cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification) (MICMAC) analysis is being done to group the factors. Findings Based on the study, it has been found that raw material usage, the shelf life of food, demand for the food and accuracy are dominant factors. MICMAC analysis indicated that number of driving, dependent and linkage factors are 6, 4 and 4, respectively. Research limitations/implications In the present study, 16 factors are being considered. In future, additional factors could be considered to deal with advancements in the food domain. Practical implications The study has been executed in discussion with practitioners in AM, and hence derived inferences have practical validity. Food making has become more agile with 3D printer and has become sensitive to customer demand. Social implications Social implications are primarily highlighted by the aspect of controlling the exact amount of nutrients corresponding to the application of food. In certain commercial applications, people can customize their shape and ingredients to be injected into the food. Originality/value The development of a model for the analysis of factors influencing AM in the food domain is the original contribution of the authors.
