INDUSTRY 4.0/IIoT
Smart factories introduce a new set of machinery safety risk issues
important to its organisational structure. To address this, the index therefore defines four structural areas: 1. Resources - include a company’s
workforce and their competencies, equipment, facilities, tools and products. 2. Information systems - refer to socio-
technical systems in which people and technology provide and process data. 3. Organisational structure - covers rules
and structures which control a company’s internal and external relationships. 4. Corporate culture - refers to a
company’s value system, such as its workforce’s willingness to accept and actively shape change. Application of the Maturity Index covers
three phases. The first phase is to analyse a company’s current maturity stage, using questionnaires, on-site factory inspections and workshops to provide an overview of the current state of digitalisation. Phase Two involves the definition of
specific goals, including consideration of both the use of digital processes and
corporate strategy. A gap analysis then identifies the capabilities and resources that are still needed to achieve these objectives. The final phase sees
the experts develop a digital roadmap to build-up these capabilities, with actions being prioritised on the basis of a cost-benefit matrix.

A coherent plan The expectations of Industry 4.0 are that it will increase efficiencies and enable product developers and manufacturers to tailor products to customers’ needs faster. However, the connected world of Industry 4.0 adds a new and significant dimension of complexity in terms of machinery safety challenges, and many still do not have a
coherent plan for Industry 4.0 implementation. The solution to this could be the Maturity Index, as it delivers a step-by- step goal-based approach, so that every single action delivers measurable benefits and the process is traceable at all times.
