About this title

Synopsis

This book offers the latest research advances in the field of Industry 4.0, focusing on enabling technologies for its deployment in a comprehensive way. This book offers successful implementation of technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, autonomous and collaborative robots, cloud computing, and up-to-date guidelines. It investigates how the technologies and principles surrounding Industry 4.0 (e.g., interoperability, decentralized decisions, information transparency, etc.) serve as support for organizational routines and workers (and vice versa). Included are applications of technologies for different sectors and environments as well as for the supply chain management. It also offers a domestic and international mix of case studies that spotlight successes and failures.

Features

• Provides a historical review of Industry 4.0 and its roots
• Discusses the applications of technologies in different sectors and environments (e.g., public vs. private)
• Presents key enabling technologies for successful implementation in any industrial and service environment
• Offers case studies of successes and failures to illustrate how to put theory into practice
• Investigates how technologies serve as support for organizational routines and workers
