"A large and growing number of manufacturers are realizing substantial financial and environmental benefits from sustainable business practices. To develop more sustainable societies, industries need to better understand how to respond to environmental, economic, and social challenges and transform industrial behavior. The objective of this book is to provide knowledge and accelerate the transition towards a sustainable industrial system. The book will help the industry to raise operational efficiency by reducing costs and waste. It will increase industry respond or reach new customers and increase competitive advantage. It offers innovation, scenario planning, and strategic analysis that goes beyond compliance, as well as case studies and remedies to industry 4.0 challenges. This is a growing area and a lot of industries will benefit from this book. Professionals as well as students will refer to this book to add to their knowledge towards Industry 4.0 and it will also help to develop new ideas and solutions to existing and future problems"--

Der höchste Industrie-4.0-Umsetzungsstand ist im Hinblick auf die Nutzung mobiler Endgeräte sowie in den Branchen Elektronik/Elektrotechnik und Automotive festzustellen. Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen können ein wichtiger Baustein sein, wenn es darum geht, die Zunahme der psychischen Belastung bei den Beschäftigten zu vermeiden und Betriebsräte zu einer aktiven Rolle bei technologischen Veränderungen zu befähigen. Trotz einer hohen Bereitschaft zur Weiterbildung ist die Weiterbildungspraxis noch nicht umfangreich umgesetzt.

Industry 4.0 is a term first introduced by the German government during the Hannover Messe fair in 2011 when it launched an initiative to support German industry in tackling future challenges. It refers to the 4th industrial revolution in which disruptive digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE), robotics, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), are impacting industrial production.The new industrial paradigms of Industry 4.0 demand a socio-technical evolution of the human role in production systems, in which all working activities of the value chain will be performed with smart approaches.However, the automation of processes can have unpredictable effects.Nowadays, in a smart factory, the role of human operators is often only to control and supervise the automated processes. This new condition of workers brought forth a paradox: malfunctions or irregularities in the automated production process are rare but challenging.This article discusses the challenges and risks that the 4th industrial revolution is bringing to society.It introduces the concept of the Irony of Automation. This propounds that the more reliable an automated system, the less human operators have to do and, consequently, the less attention they pay to the system while it is operating.The authors go on to discuss the human-centered approach to automation, whose purpose is not necessarily to automate previously manual functions but, rather, to enhance user effectiveness and reduce errors.

"Industry 4.0 will disrupt and change how we produce, do business, and live our lives. Related to manufacturing, the way products are produced will change radically not only within a company but also across companies. So, like any other revolution, the fourth industrial revolution will also produce winners and losers. Occupations, companies, and industries will die whereas new ones will emerge. So, companies need to adapt properly to those new technologies in order not to be pushed out of business. This book makes a contribution to understand the developments related to Industry 4.0. Experienced and well-established authors came together to shed light on different but complementary topics to offer a holistic view on Industry 4.0. Here, the Industry 4.0 ecosystem, implications of Industry 4.0 on human workforce, technical challenges and application examples are addressed."

This article discusses how media convergence, as a new era of media in welcoming the industrial revolution, is not working properly. The purpose of this study is to explain how the media today still often create content with profit priority. By using Vincent Mosco's political economy theory and case studies on local media with national networks, the author tries to unravel how the media performs its functions. As a result, even though the media has developed more advanced with the era of digital media, the media is still often used for political interests or other interests through the titles or news content they make. To anticipate this, the general public should equip themselves with the capabilities of media literacy and digital literacy, so that they cannot choose a media that is suitable for consumption in the era of industrial revolution 4.0 where the media has developed into digital domain.

"This book substantiates digital entrepreneurship, discussing the practical experience of its implementation, and developing the scientific and methodological recommendations for development of its infrastructural provision and ways to control its regulation and provision of its competitiveness"--

Industry 4.0 is related to major changes, particularly in production. As such changes might have major implications for the labour market ; the paper focuses on the assumptions of the human capital and its preparedness for Industry 4.0 in the Czech Republic. The findings are based on EUROSTAT, MEYS, OECD, ISCED, CZSO, and WEF. Based on such data, twelve indicators were selected and described in the results. Subsequently, the correlation analysis was carried out, using the data of the Czech Republic in order to estimate which indicators are related and thus to obtain a more detailed view of areas that need to be improved. The level of computer skills in the Czech Republic are increasing. Internet connection is around 80%. The share of technical workers in the Czech Republic is in the range of 30&ndash ; 40%. In terms of expenditure on education, the Czech Republic belongs to the countries of the eastern region. The number of graduates of technical professions managed to catch up with the development of the European Union (EU). In terms of employment in High-tech and Medium-high-tech areas, the Czech Republic is one of the leaders in the EU. Czech students have great potential in basic computer skills.

Industry 4.0 is a major change that occurs in the manufacturing industry where the application of internet-based technology and information technology is key in forming a value chain network. This study aims to explore the application of industry 4.0 in the perspective of technology adoption theory, with a qualitative approach to five garment companies in Indonesia. Application of Industry 4.0 is seen in two aspects, namely technology for production and management, and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) Framework is used as a reference in analysing the factors that influence companies in adopting industry 4.0. The results of this study indicated that Indonesian garment companies have done a considerable technological transformation into more sophisticated direction. Adoption of new production machines, improvement in software systems, and the new and improved construction of factories that lead to the use of more modern technology were conducted at firm level. However, in general there are no companies that completely deploy industry 4.0. Several factors were identified as the determinants to this adoption process; in the technological context it consists of benefits and costs consideration; in the organizational context, it includes management support and workforce competence; while in the environmental context it consists of the product life cycle, global competition, and government support.
