Abstract

Facing a wide range of new technologies and best practices within Industry 4.0, companies are seeking a systematic approach to identify potential application scenarios in their production. Best practices are often customized use cases – generally too specific to apply in a different manufacturing setting right away. The Production Assessment 4.0 presents a pragmatic approach to support companies to develop Industry 4.0 use cases in their factories. The approach follows the Design Thinking method and focus especially on the human role as a key aspect in the use cases designing process.
