Abstract
The aim of the study is to review the topic of competences that will be present at smart factories. The study used bibliometric and topic analysis to achieve insight into new trends in Industry 4.0. Bibliometric analysis and topic mining was done on 43 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers, published before July 2018 in the Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science and Scopus databases, using the software tool Statistica Data Miner. Results are segmented into four sections: (1) personnel development in learning organizations, (2) training techniques for personnel, (3) future engineering profiles and engineering education, and (4) relational capabilities. Each section is thoroughly discussed in this paper. The study contributes to the pool of knowledge on Industry 4.0 phenomena by compiling competences needed at smart factories in the future.
Highlights
The term Industry 4.0 can be used as a synonym for the fourth industrial revolution
It is based on concepts and technologies that include Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Services (IoS), and cognitive computing—technological platforms that employ artificial intelligence [1,2]
Since the focus of the study was on the future competences, we present them in Table 3 and in the discussion below it
Summary
The term Industry 4.0 can be used as a synonym for the fourth industrial revolution. It is based on concepts and technologies that include Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Services (IoS), and cognitive computing—technological platforms that employ artificial intelligence [1,2]. In addition to changes in technology and the organization of work, Industry 4.0 has brought on changes regarding job profiles and competences [7,8]. Managers in production organizations will more manage the risks that occur during the transition, if they recognize in a timely manner the necessary competences needed for employees at these factories of the future [12]
