These benefits are very relevant to the semiconductor industry, where high reliability and low operating costs are critical for a business\u2019 success. Analyzing the state-of-the-art of the projects that present the implementation of the fourth industrial revolution in semiconductor companies, we noticed mainly two branches of initiatives: (i) articles that explain the final achievements, not detailing how they were assembled and structured; (ii) articles that detail a part of the industry ecosystem, for example, approaching only the communication system or AI algorithms. In this context, this article proposes an I4.0 Pilot as a compilation of lessons learned during an end-to-end development of a reference design applied to a semiconductor packaging and test company. We explore the requirements of clean rooms and information related to sensors and data acquisition boards, in addition to performance details and configurations pertaining to visualization tools and warning notifications. The main contribution appears in presenting the advantages of adopting flexible decisions in the pilot to enable the best characteristics for a final expandable solution. Our final idea is to emphasize the importance of having a pilot project without significant expenses, presenting the reader with the acquired knowledge, and how they can benefit from it.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20205752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,14]],"date-time":"2020-10-14T21:24:39Z","timestamp":1602710679000},"page":"5752","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["I4.0 Pilot Project on a Semiconductor Industry: Implementation and Lessons Learned"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8169-7396","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel do N.","family":"Silveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Technological Institute on Semiconductors, Unisinos University, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rafael F.","family":"Viana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technological Institute on Semiconductors, Unisinos University, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miromar J.","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technological Institute on Semiconductors, Unisinos University, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henrique C.","family":"Kuhn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technological Institute on Semiconductors, Unisinos University, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1402-9595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cesar David P.","family":"Crovato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technological Institute on Semiconductors, Unisinos University, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6401-0238","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandro B.","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technological Institute on Semiconductors, Unisinos University, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6131-1465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovani","family":"Pesenti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HT Micron Semiconductor S.A, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9089-5607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erick","family":"Storck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HT Micron Semiconductor S.A, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5080-7660","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rodrigo da Rosa","family":"Righi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technological Institute on Semiconductors, Unisinos University, S\u00e3o Leopoldo 93022-750, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Protopsaltis, A., Sarigiannidis, P., Margounakis, D., and Lytos, A.
