Abstract
The current trend and initiative towards a digital revolution in manufacturing is commonly known as “Industry 4.0”. Industry 4.0 aggregates various technologies such as data analytics, internet of things, cloud computing. Recently, a new concept and typology of so called “Operator 4.0” were introduced to elucidate human roles and interaction with different technologies that potentially act as enablers in Industry 4.0 revolution. The typology is mainly based on the type of Industry 4.0 enabler technologies i.e. augmented reality, virtual reality, wearable technologies, intelligent personal assistant, collaborative robot, platform for social networks, exoskeleton and big data analytics. This paper, a literature review, aims to provide further contribution on the concept of “Operator 4.0” and identify aspects that need attention and consideration from human factors experts. For each typology, state of the art reviews were collected and used as basis to achieve the aforementioned aim.
