Information Systems Frontiers Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Triggered by the development of information and communications technologies, Industry 4.0 opens up a new era for the manufacturing industry.Currently, Industry 4.0 has attracted much attention from industry and academia. Research on Industry 4.0 is still evolving towards the development of frameworks linking Industry 4.0’s enabling technologies to specific goals and to their impact on the manufacturers’ businesses.Accordingly, this study presents a systematic review of the scope of Industry 4.0, its goals and implementations, as well as the barriers to the implementation of Industry 4.0. Solutions for overcoming the barriers and challenges are discussed.
