An Assessment Tool for Digital Enhancement of Operators on the Production Shop Floor

Abstract

The Operator 4.0 represents a recent paradigm within the transformation potential heralded by Industry 4.0. Since there is a lack of practice-oriented tools, grounded in sound theory, to implement the Operator 4.0 successfully, this paper presents the assessment tool developed within the \xABDigitally Enhanced Operator\xBB project. The tool covers 3 areas of analysis (i.e., Work Organization & Shop Floor Characteristics, Situation Awareness & Decision Making, Technological Support), a set of dimensions and a four-level maturity scale. This work contributes to advance knowledge and to help manufacturers consider the Organizational, Human and Technological aspects in their journey to Industry 4.0.
