“…First, the nascent platforms must enable their users to monetize a new or more efficient service. As showed by Corò and Volpe (2020) in the Veneto region of Italy, profitability ratios are not significantly higher for early adopters of I4.0 technologies. While long-established companies have proven to be profitable in the selling of specialized niche products or components, they are reluctant to implement digital solutions that go beyond optimized production processes and entail new ways of monetizing services that are not (yet) part of their core competences.…”

In the 1980s, Switzerland's Jura Arc region was a globally competitive 'new industrial space' in the Third Industrial Revolution's flexible accumulation regime based on information and communication technology (ICT) and automation processes. Recently, this nowadays 'old industrial space' has been experiencing the implementation of Industry 4.0. Caught between the use of existing productive assets and the development of platform-based market ecosystems, this region illustrates the challenges inherent in implementing 'forking innovation', which requires the development not only of new business models, but also of collaborative and investment models in order to scale up and increase local value capture.

“…The Italian government, for example, offers a comprehensive classification of nine industry 4.0-enabling technologies ranging across new manufacturing solutions to cloud computing and big data analysis (Muscio & Ciffolilli, 2020). Take up of Industry 4.0 support for small and medium-sized enterprises has been analysed by Coro' and Volpe (2020). 2.…”

We explore the impact of technological changes brought in by the Fourth Industrial Revolution on local systems of industrial specialization. To do so we connect the Evolutional Economic Geography literature on regional diversification with the literature on systems change, notably the multilevel perspective (MLP) framework, expanding the latter with a place-based dimension enabling the application of technological transition to regional economies. Here, a local system's ability to transform rests on three capabilities: innovation capabilities, docking capabilities and translational capabilities. Building on these, we identify four transformative paths: an endogenous transformative path; a hyper-transformative path; an importation transformative path; and a regional obsolescence path. We stress that local systems are not locked into a particular pathway, with implications for place-based industrial policy.

“…Although several modeling approaches have been proposed to solve cold-chain management issues in the fruit and vegetable sector [3,17], the published scientific papers about the actual implementation of ICTs in the fruit and vegetable sector are scarce [18,19]. Citing the recent study by [20] (p. 112) on Industry 4.0 (I4.0) across all sectors, "Despite the amount of attention that I4.0 has received in the media and in the policy debate, little robust evidence is available on the diffusion of such technologies". Consequently, the main source of information on actual practices is grey literature (from professional bodies, social media and conferences) and interviews.…”

Adoption of ICTs in Agri-Food Logistics: Potential and Limitations for Supply Chain Sustainability

A major challenge of Sustainable Development Goal 12 “Responsible Consumption and Production” is to reduce food losses along production and supply chains. This is particularly critical for fresh food products, due to their perishable and fragile nature, which makes the coordination of the actors all the more crucial to avoid wastes and losses. The rise of new technologies, referred to as “Industry 4.0” powered by the internet of things, big data analytics and artificial intelligence, could bring new solutions to meet these needs. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) allow for frequent exchanges of huge amounts of information between actors in the agrofood chains to coordinate their activities. The aim of the chapter is to provide a state-of-the-art analysis on ICTs used in agrofood supply chains, with a special focus on the case of fresh fruits and vegetables, to analyze the potential and weaknesses which exist in different forms of supply chains for ICTs becoming a “resource” (precious, rare, non-imitable, and nonsubstitutable) prospect and to suggest promising ICTs in this context.
