“…SMEs particularly in the manufacturing division are aiming towards implementation of Industry 4.0 and looking for its smooth adoption strategy to establish a roadmap throughout their transition process toward the digital factory. The first and foremost stage of Industry 4.0 implementation is the development of CPS (Jordan et al , 2017; Yang et al , 2018). Manufacturing SMEs are planning to deploy I4.0 concepts for enhancing their production efficiency and quick delivery.…”

“…Application of I4.0 technologies in SMEs may offer innovation in manufacturing processes and help in understanding the global markets (Jha and Mittal, 2021). One such technology is the CPS, which is considered the backbone of the fourth industrial revolution and expected to improve the efficiency of the traditional assembly system of SMEs (Yang et al , 2018; Yilma et al , 2021). Moreover, CPS adoption in SMEs helps to increase flexibility, responsiveness, productivity and environmental performance.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to report a study on analysis of barriers for cyber-physical system (CPS) adoption in small and medium enterprises (SMEs).Design/methodology/approachIn Industry 4.0 scenario, Indian SMEs are struggling to bring their manufacturing processes in line with large manufacturing sector. CPS is considered as the backbone of Industry 4.0, and its implementation in SMEs will make significant changes pertaining to manufacturing automation. However, due to the lack of a proper CPS implementation strategy, SMEs face many challenges in its adoption. Hence, this study identified 18 possible barriers and seven performance measures pertaining to CPS adoption in Indian SMEs. Interpretive ranking process (IRP) is used to develop the contextual relationships among CPS barriers. IRP process include structured step-by-step matrix-based approach in which dominance among various alternatives is determined using performance measures developing a structured ranking model.FindingsThe developed IRP model revealed that CPS barriers “Lack of skilled manpower (CPSB2)” and “Lack of robustness with respect to environmental conditions in automotive environments (CPSB7)” are the most significant barriers (top two) hindering CPS adoption in SMEs.Research limitations/implicationsIn the present study, barriers for CPS adoption has been analyzed. In future, barriers for adopting other Industry 4.0 technologies could be analyzed.Practical implicationsThe present research work is one of the few studies which analyzed CPS barriers in SMEs and provided improvement suggestions to the most significant barriers for its smooth adoption. The managerial and practical implications have been derived.Originality/valueThe analysis of barriers for CPS adoption in SMEs is the original contribution of the authors.
