AB  - The fourth industrial revolution aims to transform industrial units
into more efficient and productive organisations, through the implementation of
technologies based on digital and intelligent systems. This research assesses the
level of implementation of the ‘Industry 4.0’ concept in Portugal, identifying its
benefits and difficulties, and also seeking to identify the best tool to assess the
level of I4.0. To this end, a qualitative approach was used, supported by
18 interviews with industrial managers. The research shows that there is no
integrated view of the I4.0 concept, although the results demonstrate a concern
of companies with the subject, with actions aiming to implement the concept in
their organisations, where the main barriers are found at the level of investment
needed and change management. As to the benefits, it is highlighted the
increases in productivity and the reduction of errors in the process.
