Abstract
This study aims to understand how Brazilian manufacturers’ managers perceive the benefits and barriers to adopting I4.0. The study collected data from 194 managers who implemented I4.0 solutions developed by technology suppliers supported by Finep Inovacred 4.0. Our results show that large and high-technology-intensity manufacturers considered managerial benefits more critical, while small-medium sized and medium-low technology-intensity manufacturers evaluate operational benefits as the most important. Data security and employee skills were evaluated as the main barriers by large and international manufacturers’ managers while high investments and government regulations were figured as the main barriers by small-medium sized and high-tech manufacturers’ managers.
