Over a decade after the introduction of the Industry 4.0 vision, digital transformation remains a central imperative for industrial companies aiming to maintain competitiveness amid increasing economic and ecological pressures. As various Industry 4.0-implementations enter industrial practice, a more precise understanding of the requirements and opportunities for digital transformation has emerged across sectors. The fluid power domain, an essential part of many industrial systems, has likewise advanced efforts to develop Industry 4.0-compliant components and systems in recent years. This contribution provides a systematic overview of the current state of digital transformation in the fluid power, with a particular focus on Industry 4.0-concepts such as the Asset Administration Shell. The study offers a structured categorization of Industry 4.0-related research in the fluid power, mapping relevant publications and their thematic focus. Key use cases in which Industry 4.0-concepts are already integrated, including automated commissioning and simulation-based engineering, are presented in detail. The findings indicate significant progress in areas such as the integration of Industry 4.0-concepts into industry-relevant use cases, and the standardization of interfaces and component descriptions.
