Tecnologías de la cuarta revolución industrial utilizadas en la manufactura para mejorar los indicadores de productividad: Una revisión

The technologies of the fourth industrial revolution have impacted and benefited all industrial processes in different sectors; this allows the optimization of resources in organizations and turn, an improvement in their productivity. The adoption and implementation of 4.0 technologies have grown rapidly in some countries; in others, it remains a challenge. This article presents a literature review on the use of 4.0 technologies in industries, aimed at identifying the most used technologies, the impacted sectors, and the benefited productivity indicators. This study was carried out using the Core of Science platform and the PRISMA methodology with the information provided from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The findings indicate that the most used technologies are the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data. On the other hand, manufacturing is the activity of the industrial sector with the most influence on these technologies, followed by the automotive industry. Finally, there is evidence of deficient coverage of the use of 4.0 technologies in Latin American countries and, more significantly, European countries.
