Resumo: The implementation of Industry 4.0 in the automotive sector has been a need felt by all organisations in the sector. In this sense, a case study is carried out with a qualitative approach, with the aim of assessing the extent to which Industry 4.0 technologies constitute a competitive advantage in the automotive sector. For data collection six interviews were conducted with employees of the company Stellantis Mangualde, responsible for implementing the INDTECH 4.0 project. The collected data were subjected to a content analysis and explained with the literature review. Data collection allowed the identification of the implemented Industry 4.0 technologies, advanced Robotics - robots in the hardware, painting and assembly sections, Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT). The results allowed us to conclude that the most obvious advantages were: production with less effort; reduction of costs and production time; increase in production volume; improvement in industrial performance; elimination of operations in the production process that are harmful to the operators' health; improvement in working conditions and an increase in employee motivation, factors that constitute competitive advantages and contribute to the company's competitiveness. The adoption of technology for managing Big Data resulted in a profound contribution to controlling operations and supporting decision-making. The study provides useful information to managers in the sector and contributes to the advancement of knowledge on the subject.

Neste sentido efetua-se um estudo de caso com uma abordagem qualitativa, com o objetivo de avaliar em que medida as tecnologias da Indústria 4.0 constituem uma vantagem competitiva no setor automóvel. Para a recolha de dados foram realizadas seis entrevistas a colaboradores da empresa Stellantis Mangualde, responsáveis pela implementação do projeto INDTECH 4.0. Os dados recolhidos, foram sujeitos a uma análise de conteúdo e explanados com a revisão de literatura. A recolha de dados permitiu identificar as tecnologias da Indústria 4.0 implementadas, a Robótica Avançada – robôs nas secções de ferragem, pintura e montagem, o Big Data e a Internet das coisas (IdC). Os resultados permitiram concluir que as vantagens mais evidentes foram: a produção com menor esforço; redução de custos e tempo de produção; aumento do volume de produção; melhoria no desempenho industrial; eliminação de operações do processo produtivo prejudiciais à saúde dos operadores; melhoria das condições de trabalho e o aumento da motivação dos colaboradores, fatores que constituem vantagens competitivas e contribuem para uma maior competitividade da empresa. A adoção de tecnologia para a gestão do Big Data resultou num profundo contributo para o controlo de operações e o suporte da tomada de decisão. O estudo fornece informações úteis aos gestores do sector e contribui para o avanço do conhecimento da temática.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2023-05-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/gestaoedesenvolvimento.2023.12763https://doi.org/10.34632/gestaoedesenvolvimento.2023.12763Gestão e Desenvolvimento; No 31 (2023); 347-373Gestão e Desenvolvimento; n. 31 (2023); 347-3732184-56380872-556X10.34632/gestaoedesenvolvimento.2023.n31reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gestaoedesenvolvimento/article/view/12763https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gestaoedesenvolvimento/article/view/12763/12188Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Mariana Pais, Clotilde Passoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPais, MarianaPassos, Clotilde2023-05-10T03:00:13Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/12763Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:51:03.920235Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
