Abstract
Industry 4.0 is the current buzzword in the modern organization. It promises to revolutionize the Industry with automation and computing technologies. Indian Engineering Industry is the largest segment among the Indian Industries having a huge export potential. Industry 4.0 is making inroads into this high potential Industry in a gradual manner. There are very few studies as to how should engineers adapt with the skills and ability requirements of knowledge society created due to the application of Industry 4.0. The main aim of this paper is to critically analyze the previous studies so that engineers can adapt to Industry 4.0. This study finds six dimensions engineers must adapt while working in Industry 4.0 environment. Though there have been numerous literature reviews on Industry 4.0, however this is the first study carried out on engineer adaptability for Industry 4.0 in the contextual domain of Indian Engineering Industries.
Highlights
Industry 4.0 through the technologies such as “Internet of Things (IoT)”, “cloud computing” and “cyber-physical systems (CPS)” has changed the manner business in conducted in organizations
This study finds six dimensions engineers must adapt while working in Industry 4.0 environment
The physical and the cyber world is interconnected using technologies such as “semantic machine to machine communication”, IoT, CPS, “Embedded Systems”, etc. [1] [2]. It represents conglomeration of technologically advanced “manufacturing systems” featuring a technological concept called “smart factories”. It further integrates the physical systems such as production or manufacturing systems with network connectivity through IoT and CPS to achieve the objective of Industry 4.0 [3]
Summary
Industry 4.0 through the technologies such as “Internet of Things (IoT)”, “cloud computing” and “cyber-physical systems (CPS)” has changed the manner business in conducted in organizations. It represents conglomeration of technologically advanced “manufacturing systems” featuring a technological concept called “smart factories” It further integrates the physical systems such as production or manufacturing systems with network connectivity through IoT and CPS to achieve the objective of Industry 4.0 [3]. The modern factory is becoming more complex and intelligent due to “big data analytics”, “machine learning” and “cloud computing” with the advent of Industry 4.0 [4] Technology enablers such as IoT, CPS, and Industrial internet makes the modern-day workplace a complex phenomenon [5]. The Indian Engineering Industries represent the largest segment in the Indian Industry It is India’s largest foreign exchange earner, as it contributes to 25% to Indian total exports in goods. Engineers being the pivotal element in the application of Indian 4.0 in Indian Engineering Industries, it is pertinent, we ask the research question What are the practical lessons for engineers to adapt to Industry 4.0 in Indian Engineering Industries?
