After the introduction of Industry 4.0 in large enterprises, SMEs have moved into the focus, as they are the backbone of many economies. Small organizations are increasingly proactive in improving their operational processes, which is a good starting point for introducing the new concepts of Industry 4.0. The readiness of SME-adapted Industry 4.0 concepts and the organizational capability of SMEs to meet this challenge exist only in some areas. This reveals the need for further research and action plans for preparing SMEs in a technical and organizational direction. Therefore, special research and investigations are needed for the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies and concepts in SMEs. SMEs will only achieve Industry 4.0 by following SME-customized implementation strategies and approaches and realizing SME-adapted concepts and technological solutions. Thus, this Special Issue represents a collection of theoretical models as well as practical case studies related to the introduction of Industry 4.0 concepts in small- and medium-sized enterprises.History of engineering and technologybicsscadvanced manufacturinganthropocentric designARENA®, time studyartificial intelligenceassemblyassembly supply chainassessmentassessment modelawarenessBest-Worst MethodBPMNbusiness process managementcloud platformcollaborative roboticscomplexity indicatorsconcept disambiguationconcept investigationcustomer's perceptioncyber-physical production systemscyber-physical systemsdeep learningdigital twine-business modellingenergy efficient operationfield studyhierarchical clusteringhuman factorshuman-centered designhuman-machine interactionhuman-robot collaborationIndiaindustry 4.0Industry 4.0infeasible configurationsInternet of Thingsknowledge discoverylatent semantic analysislogistics 4.0LSP Lifecycle Modelmachine learningmanufacturing performancemanufacturing process modelmanufacturing sustainabilitymanufacturing systemmaterial handling systemsMATLAB-SimulinkMax-plus Algebranegative complexityOperator 4.0overall equipment effectivenessphysical ergonomicsplant factorypositive complexityproduct platformQuality Function Deploymentsimilaritysimulationsmall and medium sized enterprisesmall and medium sized enterprisessmall and medium-sized enterprisessmart logisticssmart manufacturingsmart technologiesSMESMEsstochastic eventsustainabilitysustainable agriculturesustainable methodologiestechnology adoption modeltesting criteriavirtual quality managementHistory of engineering and technologyRauch Erwinedt1235471Woschank ManueledtRauch ErwinothWoschank ManuelothBOOK9910557625503321Industry 4.0 for SMEs - Smart Manufacturing and Logistics for SMEs3012220UNINA
