ABSTRACT
These days, we are living in the epitome of Industry 4.0, where each component is intelligent and suitable for Smart Manufacturing users, which is why the specific use of Big Data is proposed to determine the continuous improvement of the competitiveness of a car assembling industry. The Boston Consulting Group [1] has identified nine pillars of I4.0, which are: (i) Big Data and Analytics, (ii) Autonomous Robots, (iii) Simulation, (iv) Vertical and Horizontal Integration of Systems, (v) Industrial Internet of Things (IoT for its acronym in English), (vi) Cybersecurity, (vii) Cloud or Cloud, (viii) Additive Manufacturing including 3D printing, and (ix) Augmented Reality. These pillars can all be implemented in factories or take some depending on the case you want to improve. In Industry 4.0, the Industrial IoT is a fundamental component and its penetration in the market is growing. Car manufacturers, such as General Motors or Ford, expect that by 2020 there will be 50 billion (trillion in English) connected devices, Ericsson Inc. estimates 18 billion. These estimated quantities of connected devices will be due to the increase in technological development, development in telecommunications and adoption of digital devices, and this will invariably lead to the increase in the generation of data and digital transactions, which leads to the mandatory increase in regulations, for security, privacy and informed consent in the integration of these diverse entities that will be connected and interacting among themselves and with the users. Finally, the use of Fuzzy Logic type 2 is proposed to adopt the correct decision making and achieve the reduction of uncertainty in the car assembly industry in the Northeast of Mexico.
