| Summary: | Implementation of digital technologies brings a significant industrial revolution in
manufacturing processes, often referred to as Industry 4.0. However, manufacturing industries in
Karnataka face numerous challenges in adopting these advanced technologies. The manufacturing
industry needs to constantly evolve itself with various smart manufacturing techniques. They need
to be digitally equipped to adapt to these advanced technologies. The digital readiness of these
manufacturing industries plays an important role in the digital implementation and adaptation of
advanced technologies in the manufacturing process. Various pieces of literature have been
reviewed to understand the influential factors i.e Digital operational efficiency, Supply chain
integration and logistics, Product quality and customization, Technological enablers, Skill
Competencies of employees, Financial Support, Cyber security, Product Innovation Development
and Process innovation Development, impacting the digital readiness of the organization towards
implementation. A survey through a questionnaire was conducted to collect data from 50
manufacturing industries in the Karnataka, India. These industries were working towards achieving
digital implementation. The primary data was collected through the survey and it was supplemented
by the secondary data sources such as data from books, research papers, journals, annual reports,
and websites etc. This consolidated data were analysed using Minitab (V_17) software, using
descriptive statistics, Validity and reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and linear-regression
analysis. The findings reveal moderate to strong correlations between various digital readiness
constructs and the digital implementation of the manufacturing industries. Based on this study,
Karnataka’s manufacturing industries demonstrate a high level of readiness and capacity for
digital transformation, suggesting that broad-based initiatives could effectively support their
adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies. This study provides actionable insights for policymakers
and business leaders to facilitate the successful adoption of Industry 4.0 tools.
