Technological Migration from I3.0 to I4.0 Applying Concurrent Engineering and Adapted Agile Management Methodologies

Abstract:

The world is experiencing constant changes due to emerging technologies and business globalization. Industry 4.0 is causing paradigms to change at an industrial level, which, together with the technological advance of communication networks and the internet, will allow for achieving complete digitization of manufacturing processes. Digitization solutions implementation is hampered by the lack of adequate management procedures and methodologies to simplify the requirements analysis and the incorporation of improvements using I4.0.There are several methodologies for managing and controlling projects, but they need to adapt according to the required migration of systems from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0. A literature review has allowed identifying the most important characteristics of industry 4.0 based on the main digital enablers. Nowadays, any migration of technological systems also requires using an appropriate management methodology, replacing or complementing the traditional waterfall methodology, that can be easily controlled and where errors can be predicted and corrected in the shortest possible time. These new tools are important to facilitate the implementation of I4.0, especially in regions and companies with a low tradition of adaptation to technological changes.In this work, a novel concurrent methodology framework based on engineering and adapted Scrum work is proposed to implement I4.0 technology migration, using technology enablers. It was designed to provide several advantages, namely: feedback provided every certain period of time to correct errors, the use of multidisciplinary teams, and its easy implementation. This adapted Scrum & concurrent methodology framework will offer a new management approach to the I4.0 transition projects, which we expect can be applied at the industrial level, especially in developing countries.
