It not only influences companies as a whole, but also permeates production in particular. Questions about data-driven decisions, the use of artificial intelligence and resilient supply chains are at the heart of current research. The 40th anniversary edition of Industry 4.0 Science\u2014formerly known as Industrie Management\u2014is dedicated to these topics and shows how companies can successfully shape digitalization in the future. The articles explain key trends and present scientific findings as well as practical solutions\u2014from automation and the circular economy to cloud computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All articles at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- GITO_PUB_POST start list-container -->\n<div><ul class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-list-container\">\n<li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/industrial-business-process\/\">Computer Use in Industrial Business Processes<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">A systematic literature review of the last 40 years<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/decision-support-product-creation\/\">Hybrid Decision Support in Product Creation<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Improving performance with data science and artificial intelligence<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/assembly-in-transition\/\">Assembly in Transition<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Empirical results of digitalization<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/circular-economy-digitization\/\">Circular Economy Enabled by Digitization<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Digital networking in the procurement of manufacturing companies<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/reverse-logistics-supply-chain\/\">Increasing Supply Chain Resilience with Reverse Logistics<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Hypotheses for a value model<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/holistic-circular-economy\/\">Circular Economy as a Holistic Strategy<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Complexity management and sustainability<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/the-advantages-of-microservices\/\">The Advantages of Microservices<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">An examination of current literature on its application in companies<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/cloud-agnostic-paas\/\">Cloud-Agnostic Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">An approach to prevent vendor lock-in<\/span><\/li><li><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/application-integration-industry\/\">Distributed Application Integration in Industry<\/a><br><span style=\"color:#444;\">Employing microservices for enterprise application integration (EAI)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<!-- GITO_PUB_POST end list-container -->\n\n<div style=\"display:block;text-align:center !important;margin:30px 0;\"><div style=\"display:inline-block;border:1px solid #555;padding:10px;max-width:600px;text-align:left;\"><h2 class=\"gito-pub-download-section\"><center>Access limited<\/center><\/h2><p>You are currently <strong>not logged in \/ not yet registered<\/strong>.<\/p><p>In order to download the desired file(s), you must be logged in and have an appropriate inclusive subscription.
