Industry 4.0 in organizations : How democratizing 3D technologies enables communication and teamwork

Plewa, Katarzyna January 2022 (has links)
The world is currently going through the fourth industrial revolution, otherwise called Industry4.0. New technologies are constantly emerging, bringing innovative solutions, but also challenges. Since it is a global event, governments and organizations need to address them and decide how to proceed and adapt. Can industry 4.0 enable a more sustainable future? Certainly, if used correctly. However, most of the time, changes are met with resistance, especially such big ones. In times of uncertainty, people need trust and support. Despite bringing these challenges, industry 4.0 also means opportunities, especially for organizations which have to find new ways to stay competitive and sustainable simultaneously. In organizations, various processes can be improved thanks to industry 4.0. How? Crucial aspects are clear communication and good teamwork. This paper discusses what models of teamwork and communication, leaders can follow to achieve team goals and assure the organization’s success. The presented study case is IKEA, where it was investigated democratizing 3D technologies can enable improvements. This thesis results in the proposal of MatLib, a material sample library, where physical prototyping meets virtual reality. The idea of MiLAb, combining traditional and newest technologies to enable better communication and teamwork, should be only an example of new ways of thinking and tackling upcoming innovations.
