The companies and their respective economies live at a global level, a stage of conjuncture with accelerated changes based on the infrastructure of the digital age. This has led to the start of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where information and communication technologies drive the digital transformation of the industry allowing the hybridization of the physical world with the digital world, representing a challenge that must be met to achieve stability and permanence in a highly competitive market. This means major transformations at the level of processes, product and business model depending on the type of industry, the size of the company and the country where it is applied. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of Industry 4.0 that allow identifying social and productive impacts, both negative and positive in the world in a general way, then, to contextualize it critically in Ecuador and particularly in the plastics industry INPLASTIC S.A. In addition, the challenges and perspectives that should allow INPLASTIC S.A. transit successfully to the fourth industrial generation.
