A Bibliometric Study on Maturity and its Implications for Industry 4.0

This study presents a review of the scientific literature on maturity and its possible implications for Industry 4.0 practice. It used the conceptual bibliographic method in its four stages (formulation of research questions, data collection in scientific databases, data organization, and presentation of answers) applied to scientific studies published in 2023 and 2024 available in scientific databases, collected through a data mass table, whose results were generated through the application of semantic and content analysis techniques. The results identified nine maturity approaches and 27 attributes that characterize them, grouped into 10 possible implications for Industry 4.0. The conclusion shows that it is possible to accelerate the maturity of Industry 4.0 implementation in organizations, even by jumping from one era of the industrial revolution to another.
