SHIFT to 4.0 Protocol facilitates the digital transformation of enterprises to Industry 4.0

This Thursday will be signed the collaboration protocol for the launch and implementation of the SHIFT to 4.0 project, developed by ISQ, in partnership with IAPMEI and the University of Aveiro. The project consists of the application of a self-diagnosis tool for the digital maturity of companies.
In practice, the tool allows analyzing the difficulties and the state of the companies, given the challenges of digital transformation promoted by Industry 4.0. The program identifies opportunities, teaches good practices, introduces tools and takes measures and actions to make companies technologically more advanced, especially SMEs, during their course in digital transformation and reinforcement of skills in this area.
The program also provides additional tools to support consulting work on issues associated with digital transformation processes and 4.0.
The implementation of SHIP to 4.0 will be divided into three phases. The first one is aimed at the selection of 80 companies, of different dimensions and sectors of the national economy, where the methodology of the diagnosis will be defined and the sample to participate in the exercise. In the second phase will be put into practice the methodology defined, accompanied by monitoring in the field. If necessary, adjustments will be made, as well as necessary support tools such as roadmap interventions, support texts on Industry 4.0, interview drafts and reports, and other materials.
In the third phase, the project is scaled up, in which the company's digital maturity self-diagnosis tool will be available to anyone who is interested. Mundophone
