The new coronavirus pandemic has posed challenges to the health system, people, and the economy, leading to abrupt social changes. There was a change in the entire world scenario and people’s lives were affected in many ways: health care, social behavior and, mainly, in how to establish the parameters of a new economy. According to a survey by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), 79% of industries claim to have suffered a reduction in orders. About 53% say the fall was intense. The data showed 86% of the companies are struggling to receive inputs and 83% face problems in transport logistics, both for products and raw materials. This scenario leads to a great rush to adapting the new social behavior and economic models. New investments in the economic and governmental sector and behavioral and social changes that would happen in years are occurring in a few months, thanks to the tools of industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 is a concept recently proposed and encompasses the main technological innovations in the fields of automation, control, and information technology applied to manufacture processes. The term appeared in Germany, in the 2011 edition of the Hannover Fair, and proposes to cross the boundaries between the digital, the physical and the biological world. Thus, although the negative economic impact has been huge since the pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020, new achievements are being made by industry 4.0 focused on health, since this impact has caused the world economy to shrink, generating unemployment and social instability. Developed countries, such as the United States of America, Germany, and Japan, and the main emerging countries, such as China and India, have outlined strategies to strengthen the industrial sector and make industry 4.0 a reality at this time. However, the spread of SARS-COV-2, the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, revealed a bleak reality: most countries were not prepared to face a large-scale health emergency. Also, hospitals are not equipped with a sufficient number of ventilators and respirators, essential equipments to save lives in the most serious cases of COVID-19, and the domestic industrial parks did not have the necessary installed capacity to meet rapidly expanding demand. The wide majority of countries faced their high dependence on the import of these materials or supplies from China, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) for health teams, face shields, gloves, masks surgical, disinfectants, hydroalcoholic gel and masks for the general population. Another bottleneck that has been noted since the beginning of the pandemic was the insufficiency of diagnostic test kits for SARS-COV-2. Thus, given the difficulty in obtaining medical and hospital equipment and materials, which are fundamental for the management of the symptoms of COVID-19, the conversion of industrial production lines has helped many countries to meet the strong increase in demand of many products previously imported, mainly about the manufacture of ventilators, mechanical respirators, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
