Industrial 4.0 revolution swept through the entire manufacturing industry. Various countries and regions are actively deploying Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. How does Taiwan respond? How to combine your own advantages to gain a competitive advantage in this global 4.0 manufacturing revolution? Industrial reform involves not only technology, but also the integration and breakthrough of ideas.

The advent of the Industry 4.0 era, coupled with the continued fever of the China-US trade war, has driven Taiwan's manufacturing industry to transform its digital manufacturing into smart manufacturing through digitalization and intelligentization. However, there are four major challenges encountered during the transformation process, and finding a solution to the practice will be the key to the company's victory.

"Link" and "Optimization" are the core spirits of Industry 4.0. To create these two key elements, it requires extensive use of automated production, Internet of Things, intelligent robots, supply chain interconnection, and big data.

After "Cloud Computing", a new term "Fog Computing" has been added in recent years. It mainly comes from the phrase "fog is a cloud closer to the ground".

Edge computing technology is an extension of cloud computing. It can improve the analysis technology of cloud data. It is a concept of nearby computing. Its technology is gradually applied to various industries so that each industry can break through the existing restrictions and increase its productivity and efficiency.

What is the development and application prospect of edge computing? When cloud computing is not enough to process and analyze data generated or to be generated by IoT devices, connected cars and other digital platforms in real time, edge computing will come in handy. Edge computing technology has the potential to be applied in many industries and plays a huge role.

Industry 4.0 is well underway and already having a big impact on manufacturing throughout the world. Technologies such as IIoT, big data and analytics, digital twin/thread, and the smart connected factory and supply chain are all elements of Industry 4.0 that are becoming ubiquitous in almost every manufacturing company.

5G is regarded as an important promoter of Industry 4.0. 5G's high network speed and low power consumption enable each sensor of the future unmanned factory to be connected to the cloud, further extracting data for analysis, and driving artificial intelligence.

5G is the engine of Industry 4.0, reshaping the industry! How should Taiwan's manufacturing industry seize the opportunity to upgrade its manufacturing industry?

Driven by the German government's national policy, Industry 4.0 has become the most high-profile manufacturing issue in the world. Therefore, countries have successively launched corresponding smart manufacturing policies. With the help of 5G, the world is facing an uncompleted and perfect 5G environment to respond to smart manufacturing Yes, and Taiwan still has many opportunities and challenges in 5G smart manufacturing. Taiwan ’s 5G commercialization is imminent, and it is still expected that the government, telecommunications operators, and automation industry will work together to accelerate the full implementation of 5G.
