Abstract

Industry is part of an economy that produces highly mechanized and automated material goods. Since the beginning of industrialization, there have been several stages and paradigm shifts that today are ex-post-so-called industrial revolutions: in the field of mechanization (called the 1st industrial revolution), the intensive use of electrical energy (called the 2nd industrial revolution) and widespread digitization (called the 3rd industrial revolution). In this sense, for this future expectation, the term (Industry 4.0) was established for a 4th industrial revolution. Developments especially in Europe, but also in the United States, coined as the Industrial Internet, are often compared with the continuation of disruptive increases in industrial production, such as revolutions initiated by steam, electricity, etc. Aspects of continuous workforce training, and the use of sustainability resources in industrial, economic and general IT governance policies are not widespread and are the main problems and challenges in paradigms in Industry 4.0. Directions for future thematic research that will be covered in this article.
