Through theoretical foundation of new technologies: Internet of Things, big data, document storage in the clouds (cloud computing), additive manufacturing (3D printing), advanced computer simulations, among others, and soft skills of project managers, understand this new scenario that causes great anxiety in workers. In addition, a questionnaire was applied to 117 people in order to understand their perceptions regarding the term industry 4.0 and how they and their companies are experiencing this new reality. The survey results point out the respondents' interest in the theme of innovation and industry 4.0, and that despite the future uncertainties, the changes are viewed positively. The research is limited to the limited number of questionnaires and the level of education of the respondents, considering that the majority of respondents had higher education. This fact is justified, since the questionnaires were sent to people known.
