Adopting digital transformation and Industrie 4.0 concepts is increasingly important for manufacturing companies acting in dynamic and competitive markets. In practice, however, these organizations struggle with implementing those concepts because Industrie 4.0 is rather a concept than a ready-to-implement solution. Additionally, its complexity hinders the achievement of successfully implementing Industrie 4.0 systems that truly incorporate all organizational aspects and levels. This paper introduces a framework to evaluate and guide Industrie 4.0 implementations, which build upon insights from capability maturity and alignment. Based on this, organizations can develop their own “roadmap” to increase the success of their Industrie 4.0 adoption.
