| dc.description.abstract | Global trade is of pivotal importance to the global economy accounting for $19.48 trillion in worldwide exports in 2018 (WTO, 2019). The shipping industry is the synonym of global trade, with cargo shipping representing a monopoly in the trading industry. However, the shipping industry is going through some challenges that force the industry to reconsider their business model. The shipping industry must therefore find solutions to improve its profitability via a more efficient value chain model. To tackle this objective, the introduction of Industry 4.0 in the shipping industry is assessed in this paper to evaluate its potential impact. Industry 4.0 describes the end-to-end digitalization of the business model value chain. It is the evolution, growth, and improving efficiency of new enabling technologies empowering a nearly real-time linkage between the physical and digital environments (Olsen & Tomlin, 2019). Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing are the backbone technologies of Industry 4.0. This paper introduces such technologies alongside use cases to understand Industry 4.0ās impact on the shipping industry. To disseminate Industry 4.0 in the shipping industry, this paper concludes that Industry 4.0 providers must consider the risk adverse landscape of the shipping industry when proposing potential solutions. It is crucial for Industry 4.0 providers to speak the language of shipping companies so that they can understand the potential of what is offered and see Industry 4.0 not as a threat but as an opportunity. In any case, the future of the shipping industry already lies through Industry 4.0. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | O comĆ©rcio global Ć© de importĆ¢ncia fulcral para a economia global, representando $19,48 trilhƵes em exportaƧƵes mundiais em 2018 (WTO, 2019). O sector marĆtimo Ć© sinĆ“nimo do comĆ©rcio global, com o transporte de carga representando um monopólio na indĆŗstria do comĆ©rcio. No entanto, o sector marĆtimo estĆ” passando por desafios forƧando-o a reconsiderar o próprio modelo de negócio. O sector deve, por conseguinte, melhorar sua rentabilidade atravĆ©s de um modelo de cadeia de valor mais eficiente. A introdução da IndĆŗstria 4.0 no sector Ć©, portanto, avaliada na presente dissertação, a fim de analisar seu potencial impacto. IndĆŗstria 4.0 descreve a digitalização end-to-end da cadeia de valor do modelo de negócio. Ć a evolução, crescimento e melhoria da eficiĆŖncia de novas tecnologias que possibilitam uma ligação quase em tempo real entre os ambientes fĆsicos e digitais (Olsen & Tomlin, 2019). Internet of Things, InteligĆŖncia Artificial e Cloud Computing sĆ£o as tecnologias de base da IndĆŗstria 4.0. Esta dissertação apresenta as tecnologias juntamente junto casos exemplares para entender o impacto da IndĆŗstria 4.0 no sector. A dissertação conclui que, para disseminar a IndĆŗstria 4.0 no sector marĆtimo, os fornecedores devem considerar o adverso de risco do sector ao propor potenciais soluƧƵes. Ć crucial que os fornecedores da IndĆŗstria 4.0 dominem a lĆngua das empresas de navegação para que compreendam o potencial do que Ć© oferecido e ver a IndĆŗstria 4.0 como uma oportunidade, e nĆ£o uma ameaƧa. Em qualquer caso, o futuro do sector marĆtimo reside jĆ” na indĆŗstria 4.0. | pt_PT |
