Overview

 

Information technologies in the form of networked things, automation, data analytics and artificial intelligence allow for evolutionary and revolutionary progress in industry (Industry 4.0). On this focus day we connect technical and human factors aspects by discussing deep learning as one of the game changing algorithms, methods and technologies for Industry 4.0, and the impact on how industrial work will be conducted in the future. 

 

 

Topics of Interest

 

The seven main scientific topics considered in this special issue are:

 

• Cognitive support and cognitive automation for human understanding and decision processes

• Visual support by augmented or virtual reality for complex data or knowledge-intensive work tasks

•  Smart learning or situated learning for a professional and self-regulated work life in production and assembly

• Data usability for workers supporting intuitive handling of complex and heterogeneous data

• Division of work between humans and machines in the Industry 4.0. What are the capabilities of computers? What should be done by humans? What are the unique competences of humances and machines?

• Mobile assistence for supportin human on the shop floor. Potentials, challenges and visions for flexible, mobile assistance systems

• Experierence of workers with new technologies in smart industrial environments
