About

Giovanni Paolo Carlo Tancredi is a leading voice in the digital transformation of manufacturing, with a primary focus on Industry 4.0, intelligent predictive maintenance (IPdM), and the integration of key enabling technologies (KETs). His most cited work, a 2022 survey on the Italian context, provides a critical analysis of how manufacturers are implementing IPdM to move beyond reactive repairs toward data-driven, proactive asset management. This study uniquely maps both the operational advantages—such as reduced downtime and optimized maintenance schedules—and the real-world constraints, including legacy system integration and workforce skill gaps. With 26 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference for researchers and practitioners navigating the practical challenges of smart factory adoption. Tancredi’s contributions are particularly valuable for bridging the gap between theoretical Industry 4.0 frameworks and on-the-ground industrial realities, offering actionable insights for companies striving to harness IoT, big data, and AI for maintenance. His work continues to shape how Italian and global manufacturers approach the digital leap, making him a key figure in the ongoing evolution of intelligent production systems.
