Abstract

The implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts has significant implications for the manufacturing landscape. The aim of this study is to assess the level of general readiness for Industry 4.0 in the emerging economy of Serbia. The obtained results indicate that the majority of Serbian manufacturing sector has not yet embarked on the path towards transformation and implementation of advanced technologies.
