Readiness I4.0 in the Upper Rhine region A. Jäger | Dr. C. Lerch | Fraunhofer ISI, Karlsruhe

Study „Readiness I4.0 in Upper-Rhine region“: § description of the state of development towards Industry 4.0 of the Upper-Rhine region § tri-national comparison of the « readiness » of firms to the 4.0 technologies in the three regions covered by the Upper-Rhine regions (Alsace, Bade, and Basel area) § as well as of the distribution of nearly I4.0 technologies among manufacturing firms Analyses based on three data sources § regional extract of the European Manufacturing Survey Switzerland 2018 § regional extract of the European Manufacturing Survey Germany 2018 § regional survey conducted by CCI Alsace Eurometropole (CCIAE) and BETA (Université of Strasbourg) addressing manufacturing firms in the French Upper-Rhine region 2018 with the following main characteristics: § (representative) sub-samples of manufacturing firms with at least 20 employees § covering production characteristics as well as use of technologies

Data from three parts of one region Upper-Rhine region Joint data set § n = 339 § representative for each regions § however, not adjusting for the different density of firms, but rather § equally representing all three areas

•

In general, no large differences on the readiness level of manufacturing firms between the UR sub-regions

•

Readiness level of firms strongly depends on firm and production characteristics (especially on firm size, product complexity, batch size)

•

Firms of the UR region are likely to use to a higher share digital technologies in production

W.P. 1.1. Diagnosis of the Upper Rhine Area To do Next : • Presentation at the VDE Meeting in Karlsruhe, 10 dec. 2019 (cf Philipp Nenninger)

• Official presentation of the results by organizing a conference with firms also including round tables with surveys’ participants – to be organised with CCIAE early 2020 • Diffusion of the report by end of 2019 / early 2020.
