In recent years, the industry is evolving to fully digitize and intelligentize its production processes. This study primarily aims to be a guide to managers who want to raise their plants to the industry 4.0 level. Second objective is to help a manufacturing operation find out the answers to the questions of “which industry level we are in?” and on which level we want to be? According to the findings, this research shows that the chosen company is far from the industry 4.0 level. The company's industry maturity average was 2.44, which is also the middle of the 20th century, when the industry represented 2.0.
