Abstract
Industry 4.0 (i4.0) has changed the industrial processes. Increasingly, companies have to adapt their processes to follow the technology development which has caused a digital transformation. However, mainly the Small and Medium Enterprises have difficulty to evaluate its i4.0 readiness level and design a strategy that implements the i4.0 concepts. Towards this scenario, we present the SHIFTo4.0 – a self-assessment tool that evaluates the i4.0 readiness level of a company. SHIFTo4.0 is based on a model which contemplates six different dimensions: (i) strategy and organization; (ii) smart factory; (iii) smart operations; (iv) smart products; (v) data-driven services; and (vi) human resources. Each dimension is classified using a scale between 0 and 5. In addition, it provides a report with a set of recommendations, i.e., a roadmap, to guide the company in the i4.0 implementation to achieve a higher readiness level. As result, we present a case study that shows how a company can improve their current i4.0 readiness level by using SHIFTo4.0.
