This study analyzes the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies at the Universidad Técnica de Manabí (UTM), highlighting key benefits, challenges, and strategies. The main benefits include resource optimization, cost reduction, improved educational quality, increased operational efficiency, and contributions to environmental sustainability through real-time monitoring. However, significant challenges are identified, such as the need for robust infrastructure, continuous staff training, and overcoming resistance to change. Financial and human resource limitations also present barriers to consider. The study proposes strategies such as gradual implementation, investment in technological infrastructure, and collaborations with tech companies. It also emphasizes the importance of continuous education and innovation in forming specialized human capital, providing a reference framework for other universities aiming to implement advanced technologies.
Keywords: Industry 4.0, Smart University, 4.0 Technology, 4.0 Education.
