Abstract

Existing implementation strategies for Industry 4.0 and Digital Shopfloor Management often focus on technology. This is accompanied by a lack of transparency regarding production processes and information structures, often preventing decentralised decision-making by employees. Thus, the implementation of I4.0 requires a socio-technical implementation approach that takes human, technology and organization into account.

This work presents a model to implement Industry 4.0 combining the dimensions of people, technology and organization. The approach supports companies in adapting their socio-technical work system to include digitalisation. Taking the example of Digital Shopfloor Management, a socio-technical implementation strategy is developed and associated acceptance methods are derived. This pro-cedure ensures that the potential of Industry 4.0 can be achieved and implemented with the help of a socio-technical approach.
