Enterprise 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution; this is a definition extremely simple to frame the phenomenon; some analysts tend to describe it as a process that will bring to an industrial production completely automatized and interconnected.

According to the reports of the major analysis companies, the new digital technologies will have a deep impact in four developing sectors:

• the first one concerns the use of the data, the computing power and the connectivity: it refers to the terms Big Data, Open Data, Internet of Things, machine-to-machine and cloud computing for the centralization of the information and their maintenance;
• the second one concerns the analysis: once collected the data, we must gain value. Actually, only 2 % of collected data is used in the enterprises, which will gain advantages starting from “machine learning”, from the machines that perfect their yield “learning” from data collection and analysis.
• the third developing sector is the interaction between man and machine, which involves the “touch” devices, always more spread, and the augmented reality.
• in the end, there is the sector that concerns the transfer from digital to real, additive manufacturing, 3D printing, robotic, communications, machine-to-machine interactions and new technologies to store and use the energy in a precise way, rationalizing the costs and optimizing the performances.
