Abstract
In this research, a quantitative diagnostic instrument was developed to evaluate the technological capabilities that public research centers and universities must develop projects related to Industry 4.0 technologies. Because the characteristics and development objectives of projects carried out in an academic environment differ from those developed within an industrial environment, the diagnostic instruments found in the literature cannot be fully applied to academic projects. This research aimed to develop a model that focuses on studying the technological dimensions, as well as the capabilities of people framed in an academic field, leaving aside the areas related to products and businesses. The questionnaire developed was answered by researchers who work in Mexican institutions and who are in charge of research related to technology. The readiness model developed evaluates the three dimensions that are common to industry and academia: personnel, manufacturing and functions based on the collected data. The proposed model can be used to identify areas that need to be reinforced when working on technological projects.
