Considering the fourth industrial revolution underway in the first quarter of this century, with industry 4.0 and all related technologies as its main brand, its implementation is seen as a matter of maintaining the competitiveness and survival of manufacturing companies, becoming government, academia, and entrepreneurs’ goals. Understanding Industry 4.0 maturity is the first step in developing strategies for industrial digitalization. The Manaus Free Trade Zone region, as it has an economy based on industry, is the focus of this work, which aims to obtain a diagnosis from a case study of a beneficiary company of the Informatics Law which obliges companies that benefit from tax benefits to investing in RD&I. For this work, the following will be carried out: (i) a systematic review of the scientific literature; (ii) choosing a model for measuring maturity levels; (iii) application of the model in a company benefiting from the Informatics Law; and (iv) validation of the model.
