The fourth stage of industrialization that is called as
Industry 4.0, is digitalization of manufacturing. Cloud
technologies, The Internet of Things (IoT), and Cyber-Physical
Systems (CPS) are some of the technologies that help to make
manufacturing digitalized. Although these first applications were
seen in Germany, some studies indicate that manufacturing firms
from developing countries have started to use Industry 4.0
technologies. These firms are mostly aware that disregarding
benefits of Industry 4.0 technologies may result with falling behind
in global rivalry. Turkey is one of these countries, and it has firms
that are aware of advantages of using these technologies. The goal
of this study is determining the adoption level of Industry 4.0 in
manufacturing firms of Turkey. Some questions whose answers
will be taken from the firms by a survey, are as follows: Is your
firm aware of Industry 4.0 concept and its technological benefits?
Which technologies are used and how do these technologies affect
your productivity and costs? What are the challenges for adoption
of Industry 4.0?

technologies provide advantages such as flexibility, productivity
and profitability to firms; on the other hand, there are some
concerns about technological unemployment as a result of
Industry 4.0. In this study, it is aimed to present opinions about
the relationship between technological unemployment and
Industry 4.0. A survey will be conducted to investigate the
