Abstract
Industry 4.0, with its promise of a revolution, fuses advanced production techniques with smart technologies, benefiting both companies and workers. In this study, a systematic review was conducted to examine 4.0 technologies that improve work ergonomics. Out of 639 results, only 60 studies were selected using search algorithms. The role of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, digital twins and exoskeletons in ergonomics 4.0 was highlighted, improving the well-being of workers. 75% of the studies were conducted between 2020 and 2023, addressing aspects such as industrial process optimization, human safety, digital twins, and the use of collaborative robots and wearable sensors to improve ergonomics. These results highlight the importance of integrating 4.0 technologies into detailed analyses to improve the quality of working life and reduce musculoskeletal risks, promoting health in the work environment.
