NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT FOR INDUSTRY 4.0 IN BRAZILIAN COMPANIES

Authors

Abstract

The spread of the Industry 4.0 approach has been registered in several areas, both internationally and in the country. Therefore, it is recommended to consider how the products are produced and developed in the Industry 4.0 implementation. Following this recommendation, this study aimed to diagnose the adherence of the technologies of industry 4.0 in the product development process in two Brazilian firms. A systematic mapping of the literature selected the main guidelines for Industry 4.0 to develop the research instrument to diagnose product development processes' adherence. A survey using this instrument was carried out in two companies, one from electric sector and another from refrigeration sector. The results obtained showed that both companies have low adherence to the technologies of Industry 4.0. The results also indicate a diagnosis of the companies' product development and several opportunities to improve companies' implementation of Industry 4.0
