Manufacturing companies have just begun to implement the concepts
of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) on a larger
scale. Still, this area is characterized by a rapid pace of
technological change, blurring boundaries between physical,
digital, and biological systems, and a quickly changing growing
political, economic, and social environment -- leading to high
uncertainty in decision making and many questions about the future
development in this field. To provide guidance and inspiration for
managers and academics on the future of digital manufacturing
systems, this book presents the results of an extensive Delphi
study on next-generation manufacturing systems, with a projection
period of up to 2030. We analyzed almost 2000 quantitative
estimations and more than 600 qualitative arguments from a large
panel of industrial and academic experts from Europe, North
America, and Asia. The book describes each of the 24 projections in
detail, offering current case study examples and related research,
as well as implications for policymakers, firms, and individuals.
The empirical results also allowed us to build scenarios for the
most probable future along the dimensions of governance,
organization, capabilities, and interfaces from both a
company-internal and an external (network) perspective.
