An investigation of industry 4.0 skills requirements
Abstract
The Industry 4.0 wave is built on technological advancement that is
bringing about significant change. The impact of Industry 4.0 is
being felt across all industries, including the education sector.
During the 2019 State of the Nation address, the President of South
Africa pointed out that the government was seeking to respond to
the change in skills requirements. In this paper, a systematic
literature review will be performed to investigate Industry 4.0 skills
requirements in the engineering profession and the role of
capability development in meeting Industry 4.0 requirements. An
exploration of the impact of Industry 4.0 on technical institutions
as opposed to academic institutions will also be discussed. This
paper incorporates this exploratory investigation into detailed
research on developing a skills development framework that seeks
to bridge the gap between Industry 4.0 skills requirements and
development in South Africa Die verskynsel van Industrie 4.0 word gedryf deur tegnologiese
vordering wat beduidende verandering teweegbring. Die impak van
Industrie 4.0 is oor alle industrieë waarneembaar, insluitend die
onderwyssektor. Gedurende die 2019-staatsrede het die President
van Suid-Afrika daarop gewys dat die regering poog om die
verandering in vereistes vir vaardighede te hanteer. In hierdie
artikel word ‘n sistematiese literatuuroorsig uitgevoer om vas te
stel wat die vereistes is vir Industrie 4.0-vaardighede in die
ingenieursprofessie asook die rol van vaardigheidsontwikkeling om
aan Industrie 4.0-vereistes te voldoen. ’n Ondersoek na die impak
van Industrie 4.0 op tegniese instellings in teenstelling met
akademiese instellings word ook bespreek. Hierdie werkstuk
inkorporeer hierdie verkennende ondersoek in gedetailleerde
navorsing oor ’n vaardigheidsontwikkelingstruktuur wat ten doel het
om die gaping tussen vereistes vir vaardighede vir Industrie 4.0 en
ontwikkeling in Suid-Afrika te oorbrug
