Abstract

This paper presents the results of a research on the usage of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies among ISO 500 manufacturing firms in Turkey and the factors affecting the usage rate. For this purpose, secondary data has been collected and examined. News, reports and other relevant information obtained from the internet about the I4.0 technologies used by ISO 500 manufacturing firms were used in the research. The descriptive results indicate that the usage rates of the I4.0 technologies vary among the ISO 500 manufacturing firms. A difference in usage is also observed across the categories of firms. I4.0 technologies are mostly used in discrete manufacturing firms. According to the results of the regression analysis, the rate of usage is most affected by the type of manufacturing technology and the number of employees. Finally, the usage rates were compared with the ones of the study carried out by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for TUSIAD (Turkish Industry and Business Association).
