• Abstract summary: We present two contributions that can help the software engineers of those SMEs to incorporate Industry 4.0 technologies in the context of the customer life cycle. The first contribution is a methodology that can help those software engineers in the task of creating new software services, aligned with Industry 4.0. The second contribution is a system developed for a real manufacturing scenario, using the proposed methodology.

• Abstract: Many different worldwide initiatives are promoting the transformation from machine dominant manufacturing to digital manufacturing. Thus, to achieve a successful transformation to Industry 4.0 standard, manufacturing enterprises are required to implement a clear roadmap. However, Small and Medium Manufacturing Enterprises (SMEs) encounter many barriers and difficulties (economical, technical, cultural, etc.) in the implementation of Industry 4.0. Although several works deal with the incorporation of Industry 4.0 technologies in the area of the product and supply chain life cycles, which SMEs could use as reference, this is not the case for the customer life cycle. Thus, we present two contributions that can help the software engineers of those SMEs to incorporate Industry 4.0 technologies in the context of the customer life cycle. The first contribution is a methodology that can help those software engineers in the task of creating new software services, aligned with Industry 4.0, that allow to change how customers interact with enterprises and the experiences they have while interacting with them. The methodology details a set of stages that are divided into phases which in turn are made up of activities. It places special emphasis on the incorporation of semantics descriptions and 3D visualization in the implementation of those new services. The second contribution is a system developed for a real manufacturing scenario, using the proposed methodology, which allows to observe the possibilities that this kind of systems can offer to SMEs in two phases of the customer life cycle: Discover & Shop, and Use & Service.

  The vision of Industry 4.0 introduces new requirements to Operational Technology (OT) systems. We propose an Industrial Business Process Twin (IBPT) allowing to apply methods of one world to another not directly but, instead, to a representation, that is in bidirectional exchange with the other world. We demonstrate the four essential Industry 4.0 design principles information transparency, technical assistance, interconnection and decentralized decisions based on the gamified Industry 4.0 scenario of playing the game of Nine Men's Morris.

  Industry 4.0 aims at automating the production process by the adoption of advanced leading-edge technologies down the assembly line. Most studies employ a technical perspective that is focused on studying how to integrate various technologies and the resulting benefits for organisations. Few studies use a socio-technical perspective of Industry 4.0. We propose a socio-technical framework for an Industry 4.0 context.
