Since the Industry 4.0 nature is a world-scale phenomenon, lot of information are available today from several sources, presenting different points of view. From the scientific papers, the research is focused more on the theoretical steps for a future implementation and the benefits achievable, with important information on the development path followed by the industry to reach today’s situation. Other important resources are represented by the companies operating on the consultant and high-tech sectors, because the revolution is completely intertwined with the digital world and their reports can provide interesting information. At the end, the government reports of the most important manufacturing countries have been a good information source for the practical steps and the necessary requirements in order to create a favorable field for the implementation. Therefore, this chapter is intended to contribute over all these mentioned areas of knowledge, providing a brief state of the art regarding the Industry 4.0, the role of IoT and cloud computing in today’s and future factories, as well as a view along all those enabling technologies that complement among each other in the diverse industrial scenarios.

Resumen. Dado que la naturaleza de la Industria 4.0 es un fenómeno a escala mundial, hoy en día, mucha información está disponible desde varias fuentes, presentando diferentes puntos de vista. Desde los documentos científicos, la investigación actual se centra más en los pasos teóricos para una futura implementación y los beneficios alcanzables de la utilización de las herramientas de la Industria 4.0, teniendo en cuenta información importante sobre los caminos de desarrollo seguidos por la industria para alcanzar el nivel de aplicabilidad real de las diversas herramientas de la Industria 4.0 hoy en día. Otros aportes y recursos importantes de la siguiente investigación, están representados por las compañías que operan en los sectores de consultoría y alta tecnología, la revolución tecnológica está completamente entrelazada con el mundo digital y sus aplicaciones en el mundo real pueden proporcionar información interesante. Como punto final, se analizan algunos informes de gobierno de los países de mayor desarrollo en el área de manufactura, en los cuales se muestran algunos pasos prácticos y requisitos necesarios para crear un campo favorable para la aplicación de las herramientas de la Industria 4.0. Por lo tanto, este documento está destinado a contribuir sobre todas estas áreas de conocimiento mencionadas, proporcionando un breve estado del arte sobre la Industria 4.0, el papel del Internet de las Cosas (IOT) y de la Computación en la Nube (Cloud Computing); en las fábricas actuales y futuras, así como el impacto del factor humano y la visión a lo largo de todas las tecnologías habilitantes que se complementan entre sí en los diversos escenarios industriales. Palabras Claves: Estado del Arte, Gestión de Activos, Computación en la Nube, Internet de las Cosas, Manufactura Esbelta, Industria 4.0, Mantenimiento, Incertidumbre

Abstract. Since the Industry 4.0 nature is a world-scale phenomenon, lot of information are available today from several sources, presenting different point of view. From the scientific papers, the research is focused more on the theoretical steps for a future implementation and the benefits achievable, with important information on the development path followed by the Industry to reach the today situation. Other important resources are represented by the companies operating in the consultant and high-tech sectors, because the revolution is completely intertwined with the digital world and their reports can provide interesting information. At the end, the government reports of the most important manufacturing countries have been a good information source for the practical steps and the necessary requirements in order to create a favorable field for the implementation. Therefore, this chapter is intended to contribute over all these mentioned areas of knowledge, providing a brief state of the arts regarding the Industry 4.0, the role of IoT and Cloud computing in today’s and future factories, as well as a view along all those enabling technologies that complement among each other in the diverse industrial scenarios. Keywords: State-of-the-Art, Asset Management, Cloud & IoT, Lean Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, Maintenance, Uncertainty.

... There is a drive to ground the constructs of maintenance in the Industry 4.0 frame on empirical grounds [19] since the lack of concept clarity can lead to a multitude of problems [20], with a rapid increase in the development of a multitude of concepts that are related but which are termed differently being but one of the main problems [21]). This is evidenced by related definitions, such as e-Maintenance [22], Maintenance 4.0 [23], Smart Maintenance [15], Intelligent Maintenance [24] and Maintenance Digital Transformation [25]. Furthermore, the concept of proliferation, which is defined by [20] as "a development of concepts with different names but overlapping domains" is potentially detrimental to the adoption, further explanation of theory, and conducting empirically grounded research [19] and it can lead to reduced creation of new knowledge [26] as it manifests in confusion among researchers and practitioners [21]. ...
