In recent years, the systematic development of competencies based on the concept of Industry 4.0 can be considered as the main opportunity to strengthen the competitiveness of both small-and medium-sized enterprises and larger corporations. However, especially within the engineering disciplines, there still seems to be a lack of understanding in te...
Due to the fourth industrial revolution, the so-called Industry 4.0, which is changing industries worldwide, the requirements for education systems are changing. Employees that are working in an Industry 4.0 environment need a certain set of competencies from different categories. Including technical, methodological, social, and personal competenci...
The successful implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies is dependent on a variety of complex endogenous and/or exogenous influencing factors. In this context, the realignment of contemporary teaching and learning methods is seen as a major prerequisite for the systematic development of human factors in modern and hyper-dynamic working environmen...
While the fourth industrial revolution continues to change manufacturing enterprises all over the world, not all enabling key technologies are taught sufficiently at universities. For this purpose, a new lecture at the Montanuniversität Leoben was designed, teaching students of miscellaneous engineering disciplines, the fundamentals of digitalizati...

The digital revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, offers a variety of new technologies and technological concepts for the continuous optimization of production and logistics processes in manufacturing enterprises. Up to now, a multitude of scholars have investigated potential opportunities, barriers, threads, and necessary enablers of Industry 4....
In a world depicted by rapid growth and consumerism, where pressing societal issues such as, the critical climate crises, resources exploitation in developing countries and much more, it is essential to educate all citizens about raw materials, their uses and about responsible production and consumption [1]. Developing lifelong learning programmes...
Hydrogen is a key element of our everyday life. It is an irreplaceable feedstock for the production of fertilisers, fuels, and chemicals. From a scientific point of view, hydrogen can additionally play a major role in future energy systems and help to decarbonise the sectors industry, heat and power generation as well as transport and mobility. Thu...
Das Forschungsprojekt „MUL 4.0“ beschäftigt sichmit der Anwendung von Industrie 4.0 Technologien zur Digitalisierung respektive zur digitalen Transformation einer gesamten Wertschöpfungskette vom Rohmaterial bis hin zum Recycling. Der Fokus liegt hierbei auf der Erstellung von digitalen Zwillingen sowohl aus werkstoffwissenschaftlicher als auch aus...
There is a number of barriers for smaller companies when starting the journey toward Industry 4.0. When implementing new technology and processes, there are often strong mental barriers from people that have been doing the work in a certain manner over the years. In addition to technological challenges, organizational adaptations are required, and...
Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies offer a multitude of possibilities for the systematic improvement of material and information flow processes in logistics systems. However, the usage of laboratories for the experimental testing and subsequent further development of Industry 4.0 approaches in industrial logistics still can be considered as an...
In the modern world, the economy and society are affected by ongoing changes triggered by a multitude of influencing factors, e.g., digitalization, (g)localization, and global pandemics. Therefore, industrial engineering education needs to focus on the ongoing evaluation and the continuous development of new, respectively adapted, teaching and lear...

The training and further qualification of employees in terms of collaboration, digitalization, automation, sustainability, circular economy, and emerging technologies are seen as one of the most important requirements for the successful implementation of Industry 4.0 strategies. In this context, the systematic planning of educational initiatives ca...
The successful implementation of Industry 4.0 initiatives can only be established by focusing on a multitude of complex and partially interdepending requirements and enabling factors. Thereby, the education and further training of employees can be seen as one of the major prerequisites to understand, handle, and further develop existing Industry 4....
Industry 4.0 approaches have gained increasing relevance to ensure sustainable growth and long-term competitiveness. Thereby, both logistics research and practical applications often neglect the importance of human skills development by primarily focusing on emerging technologies. Nevertheless, the structured development of employees’ competences i...

GREENOVET is an international Project, comprising 18 European Partners (from Austria, Finland, North Macedonia and Portugal), co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
The Project fosters the development of Vocational Education and Training (VET) Excellence in Green Innovation across Europe and through the establishment of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) that will enable an innovative, inclusive and sustainable economy.
A great challenge for the future lies in the transfer of Industry 4.0 expertise and technologies in small and medium sized enterprises (SME). Although the high potential of Industry 4.0 in SMEs, the main limit lies in a lack of concrete models for its implementation and application in small and medium enterprises. Thus, this research project titled “SME 4.0 - Smart Manufacturing and Logistics for SMEs in an X-to-order and Mass Customization Environment” aims to close this gap through the creation of an international and interdisciplinary research network. Identifying the needs and enablers for a smart and intelligent SME-Factory, creating adapted concepts and design solutions for SME production and logistics systems and developing suitable organisation and business models will be the main objectives of this research network. The research network includes partners from all over the world (Italy, Slovakia, Austria, Thailand, USA, India).
