Acquiring hands-on skills is nowadays key for Engineers today in the context of Industry 1 4.0. However, it is not always possible to do this in person. Therefore, it is essential to be able to do 2 this from a remote location. To support the development of remote labs for experimentation, this work 3 proposes the development of an open Industry 4.0 remote platform, which can be easily configured 4 and scaled to develop new remote labs for IoT (Internet of Things), cybersecurity, perception systems, 5 robotics, AI (Artificial Intelligence), etc. Over time, these capabilities will enable the development of 6 sustainable Industry 4.0 remote labs. These labs will coexist on the same Industry 4.0 platform, as 7 our proposed Industry 4.0 remote platform is capable of connecting multiple heterogeneous types 8 of devices for remote programming. In this way, it is possible to easily design open remote labs for 9 the digital transition to Industry 4.0 in a standardized way, which is the main research goal of our 10 In4Labs project. Several users are already conducting a series of IoT experiments within our remote 11 Industry 4.0 platform, providing useful recommendations to be included in future versions of the 12 platform.
