ABSTRACT. We draw on a substantial body of theoretical and empirical research on cyber-physical smart manufacturing systems, and using and replicating data from BCG, Deloitte, LMTPE-RWTH Aachen University, and PwC, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding Industry 4.0 value creation (%), elements that are expected to be highly relevant along the automotive value chain in 2030 (%), and how industrial companies are moving towards greater digital value creation, and from augmented products to serving digital ecosystems (%). Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and test the proposed conceptual model.
