Adoption Factors of Enabling I4.0 Technologies and Benefits in the Supply Chain

TL;DR

This paper systematically reviews how Industry 4.0 technologies are adopted in supply chains, identifying barriers, benefits, and a framework linking adoption factors to supply chain improvements.

Contribution

It provides a novel framework connecting I4.0 adoption factors, enabling technologies, and supply chain benefits based on a comprehensive literature review.

Findings

Identified key barriers to I4.0 adoption in supply chains

Mapped benefits generated by I4.0 technologies in supply chains

Developed a framework linking adoption factors, technologies, and benefits

Abstract

Industry 4.0 technologies is a new paradigm of integration of cyber-physical systems and information and communication solutions. This topic has been vaguely explored in social sciences; hence this study attempts to bridge this gap by investigating adoption process, based on I4.0 technologies. This paper aims to identify the barriers and benefits generated in the Supply Chain through a systematic literature review. The results present a framework that connects adoption factors, enabling technologies of I4.0, and benefits to the Supply Chain. innovations to be adopted.
