Abstract
Emerging Industry 4.0 technologies are changing very fast and in few years technologies reach a new level of maturity or new technologies are introduced. This makes it difficult for manufacturing companies to keep track of the fast development and to evaluate a future introduction of new technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore this work aims to realize an Industry 4.0 technology radar for industrial organizations based on the Gartner Hype Cycle Curve. The objective of this tool is to analyze new emerging technologies that could affect manufacturing firms enabling the selection of the most suitable ones. The technology evaluation considers three parameters: a technology maturity level, enterprise value and deployment risk of technologies. The application of such a tool highlights which technologies to include in the company's future technology strategy. The developed technology radar was applied in a real industrial case study to prove its applicability and limitations.
