Industry 4.0 in Manufacturing: Benefits, Barriers and Organizational Factors that Influence its Adoption

Abstract

Industry 4.0 allows the integration of intelligent technologies into manufacturing processes to promote operational benefits, but it is influenced by some barriers. The purpose of this study is to identify the benefits, barriers, and organizational factors that can influence the adoption of Industry 4.0 in manufacturing through a systematic literature review. We found and analyzed 10 benefits, 9 barriers, and 8 organizational factors and we also propose a conceptual framework. The factors analyzed can help create more consistent theoretical models for the adoption of Industry 4.0 in manufacturers and highlight the opportunities and challenges of the implementation.
