Industry 4.0 has succeeded, thanks to these technologies, in digitizing and automating all
productive processes so that resources, both natural and human, are used much more efficiently. It's about creating smart, adaptable companies and to establish new business models based on cooperation of all the actors involved in the value chain, connected in real time.
Within this framework, knowing how to properly manage change to industry 4.0 and take advantage of the new opportunities it offers are essential.
