摘要

This article undertakes an analytical study of scientific output on the evolution of Industry 4.0 since its official emergence in 2014 at the Hannover Messe trade fair in Germany. Considered a new phase of the industrial revolution, also referred to as the “industry of the future”, Industry 4.0 is based on the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data analytics. These innovations are driving the emergence of smart factories, characterised by cyber-physical systems, self-programmable sensors and real-time interconnectivity, with the aim of optimising the productivity, flexibility and responsiveness of industrial processes. In order to examine the evolution and structure of scientific research in this field, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database, based on the keyword “Industry 4.0”. The results obtained reveal the main research trends, the dominant thematic areas and the major contributions that have shaped this field over the last decade.
