“…Finally, rapid industrialization also contributes to the degradation of occupational safety and this problem is becoming more pronounced [5]. Hence, apart from it being a legal obligation, risk management and occupational safety are becoming a moral obligation for companies [18]. As Industry 4.0 becomes the dominant reality, it will inevitably cause a change in the paradigm that will affect occupational safety management [1].…”

The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, introduced a new level of production and transformed the use of digital integration and intelligent engineering. The essence of such initiatives is that manufacturers are able to satisfy a constantly changing demand by using flexible "smart" machines. However, the implementation of all the technologies used by the Industry 4.0 in production systems is not easy due to significant challenges. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and examine the challenges faced by manufacturing companies when trying to apply Industry 4.0. Occupational safety is certainly one of the most important challenges of the new production paradigm, to which adequate attention should be paid. This challenge is becoming even more pronounced in the project environment because of the temporary nature of the projects. In order to improve the level of occupational safety, its adequate analysis seems necessary. One way to do this is to compare the subject area in different contexts. In this paper, using the PROMETHEE tool, a multicriterial analysis of the effect of Industry 4.0 on occupational safety factors at industrial projects in Serbia was performed, compared to the previous industrial paradigm.

“…One of the biggest technical risks within a Smart Factory is information security. In recent years, cyber-attacks against companies and private individuals have increased steadily [19][20][21]. Due to the lack of data protection and data security, cyber attacks cause high financial damages-various very serious damages can occur and their effects should be expressed by a financial loss.…”

“…Another challenge in the Industry 4.0 environment is the availability of the IT infrastructure. The increased use of software and networked machines and systems increases companies' dependence on a powerful, scalable and available IT infrastructure [19][20][21]. For this reason, IT must create a modern and virtualized IT landscape.…”

“…With regard to the expansion and availability of broadband networks, Germany is at the bottom of the international rankings. But especially in the age of Industry 4.0 and digitalization, the "Always on" state is an absolute must [19][20][21]. A comprehensive use of CPS requires an infrastructure that enables a better and higher quality data exchange.…”
In this paper, the risks of a Smart Factory are to be examined and structured in order to be able to evaluate the status of the Smart Factory. This thesis thus serves as an overview of the technical components of a Smart Factory and the associated risks. The study takes a holistic view of the smart factory. The results show that the greatest need for action lies in the technological field. Thus, the topics of standardization, information security, availability of IT infrastructure, availability of fast internet and complex systems were prioritized. The organizational and financial risks, which also play an important role in a Smart Factory transformation, are addressed.
“…The main potentialities of Industry 4.0 are: specialized solutions for each sector and personalized customer interaction, the facility of manufacturing specific products with low production volumes, increase competitiveness and flexibility with adjustment to constant value chain changes, accelerated growth in productivity and operational efficiency [4], work-life balance and reduced energy costs [5]. The implementation of Industry 4.0, in specific cases, demonstrate that connections between humans, systems and objects allow for an optimized, complete, dynamic and real-time network [6].…”
Industry 4.0 promises to revolutionize industrial production with increased operational efficiency, the development of new business models, services and products. It enables real-time production planning and dynamic optimization in contrast to conventional forecast. The tools and technological advances developed by Industry 4.0 will have a significant role to improving the quality of life in society in order to enable a happier, motivated, and satisfied and with more time for leisure. As a consequence, it will increase productivity and the mankind will choose the direction and the kind of society we want to create in the future to promote equal wealth distribution. As consequence of Industry 4.0 emerges Society 5.0, beginning in Japan, due to the concern of the ageing population. Society 5.0 focuses on the use of tools and technologies developed by Industry 4.0 to benefit the humankind. Intelligent systems, developed by Industry 4.0, could be seen by society as a beneficial rather than as adversaries. Future society could benefit from advanced technology in solving problems and economically. Society 5.0 has a special focus to position the human being at the centre of innovation, technological transformation and industrial automation, stimulated by Industry 4.0. This new Society 5.0 paradigm will play a predominant role in creating a happier, satisfied, fulfilled and consequently more productive society. Society 5.0, also called the super intelligent society, intends to use advanced technology of Industry 4.0 for enjoyment of humankind, in order to promote an interconnection between people and systems in cyberspace with optimization of results by artificial intelligence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
