Preparing for an uncertain future in manufacturing: Strategic Foresight & Industry 4.0

Research output: Contribution to conference › Conference abstract for conference › Communication

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is often presented in a narrative of technological acceleration and machine learning that optimizes rote tasks in the smart factory. Such narratives beg the question of how such definitions can be operationalized for industry actors. This paper puts forth a framework for such an analysis, guided by concepts and methods of strategic foresight, that enables actors to be proactive in adapting and shaping Industry 4.0.
