| Summary: | This paper looks in depth at the territorial problems posed by theincorporation of Information and Communication Technologies(ICTs) into the knowledge bases of product fields inmanufacturing industry, resulting in what has become known asIndustry 4.0. Using a formal, logical approach we build up areference taxonomy that identifies various territorial problemsbased on the cognitive composition of the technology solutionsused by manufacturing companies. We assess those problems interms of their effects in the form of proximity constraints ontechnological collaboration activities and geographical location forproducers. Once the various territorial problems are formally setout, it becomes possible to identify each product field with theproblem that corresponds to the cognitive composition of thetechnical solutions that it uses. |
