Over the last few years, the manufacturing sector has changed and is continuing to change due to the use of new technologies resulting from the advent of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), such as the Internet of Things (IoT), technology whose importance is becoming increasingly recognized by citizens, businesses and governments and which is proving capable of changing not only our daily way of life, but also the way companies carry out their activities, redefining the relationships between companies themselves and their customers, employees and partners. This technology also allows the exploitation of new Industrial Analytics processes, which allow companies to perform a systematic computational analysis of data and statistics in order to better interpret such data, applying models that make the decision-making process more effective. The goal of this thesis is to develop a new business model for Industry 4.0 based on Industrial Analytics. This model intends to act as a starting point and help for all those companies that want to install IoT solutions or platforms based for Industrial Analytics. The methodology used to achieve this goal has consisted in administering a questionnaire to 3 companies, with the aim of understanding how these companies are changing their way of doing business thanks to the advent of the IoT, of Industrial Analytics. and other technologies that are part of the Industry 4.0 context. The analysis of the responses to the questionnaire was the basis for the development of the business models of the three companies interviewed. Finally, by comparing the three models, a new business model for Industry 4.0 based on Industrial Analytics was developed.
