Abstract: Abstract The concepts of Smart Production and Industry 4.0 refer to the connection of physical production with digital technology and advanced analytics to create a more holistic and flexible ecosystem. The human worker is a central element, who is mentally supported in her daily routine and decision-making processes by data-based assistive systems. Currently, there are few studies that scientifically demonstrate the effectiveness of these systems. While behavioral methods and self-report instruments are commonly used to assess cognitive workload, mental fatigue, and stress, among other variables, neurophysiological tools provide promising complementary insights. This work outlines four important application areas for the use of neurophysiology in smart production and manufacturing. The current work has the goal to instigate further research in the study domain, both theoretical and empirical.
