PurposeAlthough prior studies have identified several technologies related to Industry 4.0 and their individual potential, it is still unclear how these technologies could be integrated to achieve better results. Based on this, we propose several collaborative networks combining technologies associated with Industry 4.0.Design/methodology/approachA literature review was performed using a research model to support the evaluation and identification of key and collaborative technologies related to Industry 4.0. We examined these technologies using hierarchical cluster analysis and principal components analysis, based on their characteristics.FindingsThe study identified big data, cloud computing, the internet of Things and cyber-physical systems as key technologies for Industry 4.0, and a further eight collaborative technologies that are strongly related to industrial performance. We found five collaborative networks with distinct goals in the context of Industry 4.0: (1) smart manufacturing; (2) technological platforms; (3) market reactiveness; (4) smart products and (5) flexibility.Practical implicationsThe findings allowed us to create five pathways for future work on Industry 4.0 technologies via collaborative networks. In practice, this will help managers to improve their focus on priorities regarding the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies.Originality/valueThis study provides insights into how to establish links between technologies through collaborative networks for certain purposes. In addition, we propose five future directions for these collaborative networks that require further investigation by researchers.
The main legislation applied to machines in Brazil is the Regulatory Standard 12 dealing with the Workplace Safety in machinery and equipment which was approved by Ordinance No. 3241 in June 8th, 1978 by the Ministry of Labour. The NR-12 defines technical references, fundamental principles and protective measures to ensure the health and physical integrity of workers. In this context, the goal of this work is to suggest security measures in a pneumatic press of tobacco according to Regulation Standard No. 12, as well as ensure the workers safety. We utilized a risk evaluation method known as HRN (Hazard Rating Number) applied to offer greater precision in risk checks on machines. Our results indicate the security measures that should be adopted for the implementation of the NR-12 in tobacco presses.
