In 2011, in Germany, Klaus Schwab, the president of the World Economic Forum in Davos, announced the arrival of the 4th Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), characterized primarily by high-tech digital industries [1].

Society embracing the era of universal digitalization and technological development at the Industry 4.0 level has been named Society 4.0 by global experts [1,2,3].
