he 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. industry 4.0 will therefore necessitate a
move from a human-led static risk assessment approach to a machine-led dynamic risk assessment approach, with an ever-increasing reliance on multiple layers of functional safety. as industry 4.0 becomes ever more agile and automated, so the approach to machinery safety must reflect and support that. For many, industry 4.0 therefore raises more questions about machinery safety than can currently be answered. to address these challenges, deutsche
akademie der technikwissenschaften (acatech), a German national academy of science and engineering, has developed the industry 4.0 maturity index. the index was

By Darren Hugheston-Roberts, head of Machinery Safety at TÜV SÜD
developed by a consortium of research institutions working under the umbrella of acatech, and we also contributed our expert knowledge in the field of industrial it security. the objective of this group of experts was to create a tool that enabled industry 4.0 to be
introduced in manageable steps. the tool provides manufacturers of automation systems with a solid basis and certainty for their investments and planning. the model covers the entire value chain and focuses on the defined individual benefits for the company.
