Abstract

This study, prepared by Policy Department A at the request of the ITRE

committee, analyses the Industry 4.0 Initiative which encompasses the

digitalisation of production processes based on devices autonomously

communicating with each other along the value chain. It considers the potential of

the initiative and business paradigm changes and impacts of this transformation.

The study assesses the rationale for public intervention and outlines measures

that could be adopted to increase the gains and limit the threats from Industry

4.0.
