“…The transformation was the semantic grouping created to show that Industry 4.0 develops over time. In this, it is a transition (Kazancoglu et al, 2021), step (Grabowska et al, 2022a), movement (Pereira et al, 2022), and change (Nwankwo, 2022), always with the sense of the dynamics of transformation (Sivanuja & Sandanayake, 2022), in which the current stage is just the germination of the future. This transformation may happen slowly, but it gains strength and speed until it becomes a revolution (Lemos et al, 2022;Rodrigues, 2021;Turel & Elife, 2019).…”

“…It is a practical application of scientific knowledge in various areas of research. The technology attributes were found (Jazzar et al, 2021;Ferreira, 2019;Lazzareschi et al, 2021;Nwankwo, 2022;Arucu, 2021;Bajic et al, 2022;Checa & Alvarado, 2018;Ivascu, 2020;Reis, 2021), advanced technology (Sivanuja & Sandanayake, 2022;Črešnar et al, 2022;Lemos et al, 2022) and information and communication (Karanina et al, 2022;Turel & Elife, 2019). These informational technologies generate a series of realities whose attributes were found to be the internet of things (Jazzar et al, 2021;Gonçalves et al, 2022;Lakmali et al, 2020;Mohammed & Trzcieliński, 2021;Cruzara et al, 2021 ), which allows communication between objects, digitalization (Bajic et al, 2022;Črešnar et al, 2022;Gonçalves et al, 2022;Grabowska et al, 2022b;Schneider, 2019), as a reference to a world digital (Bigliardi et al, 2022) or virtual reality (Pató et al, 2022), as opposed to a real-world (Bigliardi et al, 2022).…”

“…The attributes included in this group were transformation (Wikström & Gedda, 2022), a fundamental element of every contemporary industry (Sivanuja & Sandanayake, 2022;Pereira et al, 2022;Kazancoglu et al, 2021;Kazancoglu et al, 2021), to mark the innovative character of the fourth industrial revolution, operationalized with intelligent machines (Abubakar et al, 2022;Almatani, 2021;Gonçalves et al, 2022;Mohammed & Trzcieliński, 2021;Sivanuja & Sandanayake, 2022;Sarı et al, 2020) and which, for this reason, also generate innovative (Câmara, 2020;Gonçalves et al, 2022;Grabowska et al, 2022b;Mohammed & Trzcieliński, 2021) and sustainable (Grabowska et al, 2022a) products. The significant assets (Boltz, 2022) of these new organizations are knowledge, which structures the new industrial practices (Nwankwo, 2022;Cruzara et al, 2021), present in each of their production lines (Bataglini, 2021).…”

Purpose: Scientific production has tried to understand the various evolutionary intricacies of Industry 4.0, the so-called fourth industrial revolution. As discoveries increase and deepen, there must also be an effort to understand the frontiers of scientific knowledge, its most noticeable and studied aspects, and those attributes that have only now been perceived. It is, therefore, necessary to periodically take stock of what science knows about the phenomenon to understand where it is headed and which paths have already been taken. Therefore, the need to take inventory of the current state of knowledge about Industry 4.0 was the theoretical justification for this study. Theoretical framework: The theoretical architecture of this study consisted of the transformations that the industrial revolutionary stages caused in production systems, firstly, and then for the entire society. It involves aspects from various areas of scientific knowledge to understand the different perceptions contained in the scientific literature on the phenomenon of Industry 4.0. Design/Methodology/Approach: The conceptual bibliographic method was used to generate answers to three guiding questions: What are the main approaches to Industry 4.0? What are its main attributes? What is its irradiation logic? All conceptual definitions in scientific studies published in English and Portuguese available in the Google Scholar database from 2019 to 2020 were analyzed, with a total of 19 studies. The semantic analysis technique was used to identify the approaches and attributes, which were then organized by semantic proximity, constituting the semantic groupings on which the results were generated and interpreted. Findings: The results showed the existence of eight groups of approaches (procedures, evolution, time, grouping, transformation, layer, organization, and model) and twelve groups of attributes (industrialization, transformation technologies, information technologies, integrated system, processes, society, quality, knowledge, planning, market, value chain, and automation). These discoveries made it possible to understand that Industry 4.0 has a driving force: knowledge, which spreads similarly in waves until it reaches the entire society and is not limited only to the interior of factories and economic organizations. Research, Practical, and Social Implications: Two implications of these findings stand out. The first is the dynamic nature of implementing Industry 4.0 in organizations, whether economic or not, which is done more quickly if knowledge and technologies are available or more slowly when expertise and technologies are fragile or non-existent. The second is teleological since the purpose of Industry 4.0 and all industrial revolutions is to continually improve production processes, even though these benefits often generate unwanted externalities, such as environmental impacts. This means that the progress of knowledge and its developments cannot be stopped but can be directed towards other purposes. Originality/Value: The main contribution of this study to science is to point out the current stage of the evolution of Industry 4.0 about previous revolutions. Three other contributions are also significant: identifying the main approaches to the phenomenon, its most prominent characteristics, and its irradiation dynamics.
