Analysis of industry 4.0 technologies’ adoption using interpretive structural modelling: empirical findings from manufacturing sector in Turkey

2023-1
Öztürk, Ömer
Emerging disruptive technologies, especially big data, the internet of things (IoT), cloud, cyber-physical systems, and 3D printing technologies, led to the emergence of a new industrial era called industry 4.0. The concept of industry 4.0, which emerged at the technology fair held in Germany in 2011, has established its foundations on increasing productivity in the industry and the digitalization of systems. Although industry 4.0 technologies have various benefits for the manufacturing sector, various difficulties may arise in the adaptation of these technologies. The aim of this thesis is to conduct a detailed study on the industry 4.0 revolution, to reveal the obstacles that may arise during the application of industry 4.0 technologies to the Turkish manufacturing sector, and to guide the managers who want to implement industry 4.0 applications in this direction, thanks to the roadmap obtained after the findings. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique was used while establishing the relationship between the barriers in front of industry 4.0 adaptation. Thanks to ISM, the relationships between the barriers in front of industry 4.0 have been determined. This study will support managers in producing solutions that will reduce the impact of barriers to industry 4.0 adaptation.

Exponential growth in data volume originating from Internet of Things sources and information services drives the industry to develop new models and distributed tools to handle big data. In order to achieve strategic advantages, effective use of these tools and integrating results to their business processes are critical for enterprises. While there is an abundance of tools available in the market, they are underutilized by organizations due to their complexities. Deployment and usage of big data analysis t...
Analyzing enhanced real-time uplink scheduling algorithm in 3GPP LTE-advanced networks using multimedia systems
Deebak, B. D.; Ever, Enver; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2018-10-01)
Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardizes the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) to improve the quality of service in modern communication systems using 3GPP LTE-advanced (LTE-A) networks. As this technology is converging with modern devices, efficient resource allocation schemes are essential for minimization of the communication delay for the sensitive real-time devices. To achieve the demands of latest technologies, this paper proposes two novel mechanisms, enhanced real-time polling system with co...
A model for instructors' adoption of learning management systems: Empirical Validation in higher education context
Findik Coşkunçay, Duygu; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-04-01)
Through the rapid expansion of information technologies, Learning Management Systems have become one of the most important innovations for delivering education. However, successful implementation and management of these systems are primarily based on the instructors' adoption. In this context, this study aims to understand behavioral intentions of higher education instructors towards Learning Management Systems and further to identify the influencing factors. A multidimensional research model has been propo...
Development of an Assessment Model for Industry 4.0: Industry 4.0-MM
Gökalp, Ebru; Şener, Umut; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2017-10-05)
The application of new technologies in the manufacturing environment is ushering a new era referred to as the 4th industrial revolution, and this digital transformation appeals to companies due to various competitive advantages it provides. Accordingly, there is a fundamental need for assisting companies in the transition to Industry 4.0 technologies/practices, and guiding them for improving their capabilities in a standardized, objective, and repeatable way. Maturity Models (MMs) aim to assist organization...
A Scheduling method for sporadic traffics in industrial IoT
Özceylan, Baver; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
Internet of Things technology continues to develop as a commercial value and it has become one of the core elements of Industry 4.0 paradigm. Together with that, IEEE 802.15.4e standard provides Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) operation mode especially for industrial applications that have strict QoS requirements. In spite of the fact that the standard defines frame structure in MAC layer, there has been no standardization in scheduling for TSCH frame yet. It brings serious challenge for engineering des...
