Industry 4.0 as Public Policy: A Comparative Study
Abstract
Industry 4.0 is based on disruptive technologies such as IoT and AI with ubiquitous connectivity to increase production volume, the ability to diversify products, and improve the flow of data for greater flexibility and anticipation of market changes. Despite the technical component that describes the term, it arises from a public policy strategy proposed by the German government and some authors describe it as a rather political concept. The purpose of this text is to make a comparative analysis of four policy strategies linked to the development of Industry 4.0. The cases chosen for this purpose are Industrie 4.0 of the German government; the Smart Manufacturing Plan of the United States, 2) the “Society 5.0” strategy of the Japanese government; and 4) the lines of action of the Mexican government to boost Industry 4.0 in the country.
