This chapter aims to describe a research work in a real context, focusing on small industries and why they must become more digital, in order to create new and innovative business models and remain competitive in a post-COVID-19 scenario. It also aims to present the challenges small industries will face as a result of the digital revolution ahead, why they should reinvent their business models to be more prepared in the future, and why they should use the pandemic scenario as a lever to make this change faster and more agile. A qualitative methodology is used based on document analysis of use-case information collected from KFactory, a technological consulting startup that works with small industries and helps them identify opportunities and benefits in adopting Industry 4.0. The authors hope that the KFactory case study can contribute to a better understanding of how industries can benefit from technology to improve their production methods, adapt to a post-pandemic scenario, and engage in the new digital revolution.
