Panorama da indústria 4.0 no Brasil: principais tecnologias utilizadas e os desafios para sua implementação

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is a concept that emerged in Germany and refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The main differential of this revolution is the digitalization of all processes and the use of new technologies such as autonomous robots, internet of things, big data, additive manufacture and cyber-physical systems. The objective of this study is to have a vision of how Brazil is adapting to this new reality and obtain a panorama of Industry 4.0 in the country. For this, an exploratory research was carried out on the relevant trends in the theme and a bibliographical study that contemplated the analysis of 25 practical examples of use of the technologies of the Industry 4.0. It can be concluded that the fourth industrial revolution is already happening in Brazil, but still depends on foreign technologies. In addition, there are some challenges that need to be overcome in order to assert that Brazil has, in fact, reached the 4.0 level.
