This synergy has allowed them attaining higher productivity and competitiveness levels in different sectors. This document describes the main progress made in Factory 4.0 during the last 3 years as documented in scientific literature, using the Scopus database. Bibliographical analysis is carried out by means of VosViewer finding the main lines of research implemented by leading countries. On the other hand, an analysis of the Colombian context is conducted and a set of recommendations are issued in order for them to be adopted by research groups and foster innovation in new technologies for the benefit of the country.
