Abstract(s)

The introduction of Industry 4.0 to modernize theexisting industrial manufacturing systems has created a waveof disruption all over the world, that changed not only theindustry paradigm, but also the research directions in theintelligent manufacturing systems field. After five years since itspresentation, similar initiatives have fostered in several countriesworldwide to promote the adoption of Industry 4.0 principles.This paper aims to analyze and discuss the current state ofadoption of this initiative and to verify the way it changed theresearch directions, particularly at the level of applying artificialintelligence and ICT technologies in the cyber-physical systemscontext. For this purpose, an analytical study of the scientificpublications related to Industry 4.0 domain has been performed,considering a dataset of scientific publications retrieved fromthe IEEE Xplore database. This dataset considers two distincttime periods, separated by the introduction of Industry 4.0 asthe digitalization threshold: before digital era (B.D.) and afterdigital era (A.D.).
