description The Industry 4.0 has gained prominence in academic discourse and innovation policies due to its appeal stemming from cost reduction and global momentum. It is grounded in electronic and digital technologies that integrate machinery, software, and personnel for commercial objectives, offering benefits such as traceability and flexibility, alongside challenges like continuous training and technological dependency. Its implementation is paramount for competitiveness, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which encounter specific obstacles and require technological adaptation. Our aim is to describe and analyse levels of implementation maturity of Industry 4.0 in Argentine SMEs, pinpointing obstacles and impacts. Implementation was assessed in companies from Entre Ríos and Santa Fe, employing a comprehensive questionnaire covering aspects like cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and robotics. Data from 15 interviewed companies between 2022 and 2023 were analysed, along with policies and incentives through bibliographic review and secondary data. Challenges encompass economic-financial difficulties and reliance on specialized providers. Recommendations include revising economic support instruments, establishing phased credit programs, and conducting crucial research to determine necessary skills for employees in Industry 4.0 processes and SME digitalization, facilitating workforce updating and retraining. The importance of updating technical education to incorporate relevant competencies for Industry 4.0, such as programming, automation, and data acquisition and analytics, is emphasized.

La Industria 4.0 ha crecido en la discusión académica y las políticas de innovación debido a su atractivo por la disminución de costos y su impulso global. Se basa en tecnologías electrónicas y digitales que combinan máquinas, software y personas para objetivos comerciales, ofreciendo ventajas como trazabilidad y flexibilidad, pero también desafíos como formación constante y dependencia tecnológica. Su implementación es crucial para la competitividad, especialmente en pymes, que enfrentan obstáculos específicos y necesitan adaptarse tecnológicamente. Nuestro objetivo es describir y analizar niveles de madurez de implementación de la Industria 4.0 en pymes argentinas, identificando obstáculos e impactos. Se evaluó la implementación en empresas de Entre Ríos y Santa Fe, utilizando un formulario único que abarcó aspectos como sistemas ciber físicos, internet de las cosas y robótica. Se analizaron datos de 15 empresas entrevistadas entre 2022 y 2023, además de políticas e incentivos a través de revisión bibliográfica y datos secundarios. Los desafíos incluyen dificultades económico-financieras y dependencia de proveedores especializados. Se recomienda revisar los instrumentos de apoyo económico, crear programas de crédito escalonados y es crucial investigar y determinar las habilidades necesarias para los empleados en los procesos de industria 4.0 y la digitalización de pymes, facilitando la actualización y el reentrenamiento de la fuerza laboral. Se destaca la importancia de actualizar la educación técnica para incluir competencias relevantes para la I4.0, como programación, automatización y adquisición y analítica de datos.
