The 4IR and the transformations it entails, mainly in the industrial manufacturing sector, were put into vogue since the presentation of the German industrial strategy plan entitled “Industrie 4.0” at the Hanover Fair in 2011 by a group of researchers from the Research Union EconomyScience of the German Ministry of Education and Research. Essentially, the “Industrie 4.0” plan proposes a way of industrialization based on the introduction of the CPS into manufacturing production and hence, establishing a watershed with previous technological revolutions empowered by mechanization, electricity and ICT with the main aim to improve German domestic and global manufacturing competitiveness through “smart factory”. CPS are formally defined as “transformative technologies for managing interconnected systems between its physical assets and the computational capabilities”.
This document provides a methodological procedure to identify the Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies using patent data. Attempts to distinguish these technologies have frequently relied on the European Patent Office (2017, 2020a) methods or have mainly leaned on technical codes and keyword classifications.
