Estructura tecnológica y organizacional de inclusión a la industria 4.0 en universidades como un factor en la eficiencia de procesos productivos y de servicios en el sector empresarial

Abstract

Currently, society lives governed by technology, which evolves day by day, an example of this is the transformation represented by the last indicated Industry 4.0 paradigm. This concept is oriented to fulfill two main objectives; automation in the improvement of industrial processes; and device interconnectivity, where techniques such as sensing, and data analysis are used. Based on these tools, this technological transformation demands the study of industrial processes, or services, to identify key points in them where improvements can be made. Before implementation, these changes are visualized through scientific prototypes that have applied technology to predict their functionality in a real environment. These prototyping challenges create the perfect link between school and industry, as the latter need to improve research center support processes, such as links at universities. This article describes a flexible structure and methodology, designed for universities, to develop studies on processes in organizations and generate prototypes based on Industry 4.0 technology, from a scientific research perspective.
