The present study examines mobile connectivity in Latin America's industry 4.0 to identify gaps, opportunities, and a starting point in the formulation of strategies for technological competitiveness. SCOPUS publications are compiled from the last ten years and a bibliometric analysis is performed and processed with R, Bibliometrix, and Biblioshiny. The results show the number of authors, scientific production, and citations by continents, regions, and countries. These are contrasted with the 2019 Global Competitiveness Report from the World Economic Forum and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UNECLAC) to show the digital gap. It is concluded that in Latin America there are asymmetric gaps and lack of research in I4.0, automation, and robotics. Although there is interest at the management level, this may represent future opportunities if governments and companies formulate policies and strategies focused on a digital economy with hyper-connectivity development, mobile communications, cyber-physical systems, and the Internet of things examining the relationships between customers, industries, and government.

The present survey work contextualizes the main technologies of the era of digitalization or Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. First, the industrial impact and the technological evolution that the predecessor revolutions have historically caused are briefly described, to later present some of the architectures, standards, characteristics, and components of Industry 4.0, where the different engineering disciplines play a fundamental role. For its evolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A cyber-physical system integrates capacities such as computing, storing and communication along with others in the physical world such as objects tracking and/or objects controlling. According to the IIoT concepts it is possible to infer that CPPS systems are normally connected to each other, and also connected to the virtual world of global digital networks. It is here where, introducing the IEC-61499 standard, will allow the CPPS to implement distributed, flexible and reconfigurable controllers. In the industrial context, the ISA-88 regulation offers a coherent set of standards and terminology for batch control and defines models: physical model, controlling model etc., for this kind of industries. That is why it is necessary to provide the industry with low-cost alternatives which could redirect the CPPS development to a new variety of devices. This paper proposes the development of the FBs networks needed in the integration of distributed control systems with the use of two embedded hardware like: BeagleBone Black and Raspberry PI; having the models presented in the ISA-88 standard as the base for developing the control algorithms encapsulated inside the FBs of control.

In this century, a trend is defining Industrie 4.0, the industrial Internet and the factories of the future around the world as a wave aimed at revolutionizing production and associated services in the new era. In this revolutionary vision, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), capable of exchanging information autonomously and intelligently, are fundamental as a constituent part of intelligent machines, storage systems, and production processes. Therefore, they should be able to decide and carry out actions and control themselves independently, so it is necessary to use intelligent knowledge-based systems. This article presents a perspective on how to support Industrie 4.0 with this type of systems and proposes the conceptual model of an architecture for intelligent systems based on knowledge.

Health, such as the industry, university or city, is immersed in a process of digital transformation generated by the possibility and technological convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial Intelligence on the one hand and their consequences on the other: hyperconnectivity, datafication and algorithmization. This is a process of transformation towards what has come to be called Smart Health, Health 4.0 or mHealth. However, despite the enormous potential that underlies the digitization of the healthcare sector, this process can have very negative effects both for the sector and its organizations and for the system’s user. One of the most worrying questions at this moment is the aspect and the force that bioethification is taking; that is, the process by which mass data on the opinions, preferences and behaviors of the hyperconnected users of the cyber-physical assistance system are stored, crossed and processed, on the basis of an utilitarian criterion, to deter mine through mathematical models what is morally valid. The aim of the present study is to analyze the present and future consequences of bioethification in the health field, as well as to propose guidelines to undertake a socially responsible and morally valid digitalization.
