Abstract

The dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, better known as Industry 4.0, is set to enable global networks of machines and equipment in an environment of smart factories, capable of instantly exchanging information in an independent manner and having the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems as backbone for an autonomous operation. Great gains in productivity and flexibility are expected, which tend to intensify global competitiveness, promote social changes and economic development, besides stimulating new academic works, such as the proposal of models capable of identifying the maturity level of an organization in this context. Therefore, the present work proposes a maturity model to measure the maturity level of civil construction companies regarding the adoption of technologies and practices of Industry 4.0. Based on a systematic literature review, the proposed model was built from existing maturity models and their characteristics and relevant components. The model is supported by a elaborated questionnaire of twenty-three questions considering four dimensions (Technology, Organization, People and Sustainability) which was submitted to seven different companies in the city of Manaus/Brazil. The results after the practical application of the model showed that most companies had a low level of adoption of Industry 4.0 principles and there is plenty of room for improvement.
