Purpose

This paper aims to put forward a labelling system capable of reflecting the level of different Industry 4.0 (I4.0)features present in a manufacturing system and further propose a comparative index to collectively estimate and compare the system automation level.

Design/methodology/approach

Data for the empirical study were collected from interactions with the practising managers and experts. A relationship among the six I4.0 features is developed with fuzzy cognitive maps.

Findings

The paper proposed a simple and easy-to-understand labelling system for I4.0 systems, which indicates the automation level in each of six dimensions of any manufacturing system. The system is further strengthened by a proposed automation comparative index (ACI), which collectively reflects the automation level on a scale of “0” to “1”. Thus, the labelling system and parameter could help in comparing the level of automation in the manufacturing system and further decision-making.

Research limitations/implications

Only seven industrial sectors are illustrated in the paper, but the proposed concept of the classification scheme and ACI find their applicability on a large spectrum of industries; thus, the concept can be extended to other industrial sectors. Furthermore, a threshold value of ACI is a differentiator between a I4.0 and other automated systems. Both aspects have the scope of further work.

Practical implications

The way and pace by which the industrial world takes forward the concept of I4.0, soon it will need a labelling system and a parameter to assess the automation level of any automated system. The scheme assesses the automation level present in a manufacturing system. It will also estimate the level of the presence of each of all six attributes of an I4.0 system. Both labelling system and ACI will be the practical tools in the hands of the practising managers to help compare, identify the thrust areas and make decisions accordingly.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study of its kind that proposed the labelling system and automation comparison index for I4.0 systems.

工业4.0系统的贴标系统及自动化比较指标

目的

本文旨在提出一种能够反映制造系统中存在的不同工业4.0(I4.0)特征水平的标签系统,并进一步提出一个比较指标来集体估计和比较系统自动化水平。

设计/方法/方法

实证研究的数据是从与执业经理和专家的互动中收集的。使用模糊认知图开发了六个 I4.0 特征之间的关系。

发现

该论文提出了一个简单易懂的I4.0系统标签系统,它指示了任何制造系统六个维度中每个维度的自动化水平。拟议的自动化比较指数 (ACI) 进一步加强了该系统,该指数以“0”到“1”的等级综合反映了自动化水平。因此,标签系统和参数可以帮助比较制造系统的自动化水平和进一步的决策。

研究限制/影响

论文中仅说明了七个工业部门,但提出的分类方案和 ACI 概念发现它们适用于广泛的行业;因此,该概念可以扩展到其他工业部门。此外,ACI 的阈值是 I4.0 和其他自动化系统之间的区别。这两个方面都有进一步工作的范围。

实际影响

工业界推进 I4.0 概念的方式和步伐,很快它将需要一个标签系统和一个参数来评估任何自动化系统的自动化水平。该方案评估制造系统中存在的自动化水平。它还将估计 I4.0 系统的所有六个属性中每个属性的存在水平。标签系统和 ACI 都将成为实践经理手中的实用工具,以帮助比较、确定重点领域并做出相应的决策。

原创性/价值

据作者所知,这是同类研究中首次提出 I4.0 系统的标签系统和自动化比较指数。
