Abstract (EN): This work addresses the role of optical sensing within the new emerging paradigm Industry 4.0. It starts with some thoughts about complex systems and their inherent need of enlarged sensorial tools. Then, the principles of optical sensing are presented with identification of the two principal types. After summarizing what is meant by Industry 4.0, it is detailed how optical sensing can contribute to the raise up of this new industrial concept, focusing on vision, physical sensing, chemical sensing, and sensor multiplexing. Emphasis is given in fiber optic sensing and, when feasible, in fiber Bragg grating sensing technology. Finally, some final remarks are delivered.
