Technological development is a generator of dynamic changes in almost all areas that touch. One area that is going through an intense transition is industrial production. That was corroborated by the transformation of a third industrial revolution in fourth, while in fact part of the global economy has not made a complete transformation in the third industrial revolution. The notion of Industry 4.0 describes what is on the path of transformation of existing industrial production in new, primarily based on the progressive growth of information and communication technologies. Digital transformation, as they are also called, involves connecting all the factors of production processes in the networked value chain, by collecting and analyzing data in order to improve the processes involved in the production, cost optimization, gaining a competitive advantage, as well as meeting the expectations and desires of customers. The terms associated with the new industrial paradigm are Internet of things, Internet of service, Big Data, Cloud Computing, robotics, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, nanotechnology and biotechnology. The changes brought by Industry 4.0 is not associated exclusively with the production process and tracking the lifetime of the product to the new, digitized way, but directly affect the change in the business paradigm change in the way of work and qualifications required of employees, changes in social life in general, or changes in the education system. The goal of this study is to show the state of the Croatian industry in relation to the Industry 4.0, detect awareness of certain age and educational groups on the concept of industry 4.0. The method of research is on-line by sending an e-mail to targeted groups and on the survey through the social networks. The research was done by using Google Forms tool.
