In recent years, the manufacturing sector has been responsible for nearly 55percent of total energy consumption, inducing a major impact on the globalecosystem. Although stricter regulations, restrictions on heavy manufacturingand technological advances are increasing its sustainability, zero-emission andfuel-efficient manufacturing is still considered a utopian target. Inparallel,companies that have invested in digital innovation now need to aligntheir internal competencies to maximize their return on investment. Moreover, aprimary feature of Industry 4.0 is the digitization of production processes,which offers the opportunity to optimize energy consumption. However, given thespeed with which innovation manifests itself, tools capable of measuring theimpact that technology is having on digital and green professions and skillsare still being designed. In light of the above, in this article we present theWorker Profiler, a software designed to map the skills currently possessed byworkers, identifying misalignment with those they should ideally possess tomeet the renewed demands that digital innovation and environmental preservationimpose. The creation of the Worker Profiler consists of two steps: first, theauthors inferred the key technologies and skills for the area of interest,isolating those with markedly increasing patent trends and identifying greenand digital enabling skills and occupations. Thus, the software was designedand implemented at the user-interface level. The output of the self-assessmentis the definition of the missing digital and green skills and the job rolesclosest to the starting one in terms of current skills; both the results enablethe definition of a customized retraining strategy. The tool has shown evidenceof being user-friendly, effective in identifying skills gaps and easilyadaptable to other contexts.
