The concept of "Industry 4.0" is the fourth industrial revolution led by intelligent manufacturing, or a revolutionary mode of production, which will fundamentally change the world economic structure. Leading to Industry 4.0, in order to promote decision-making, Germany will open a new industrial era in a unique way, which can realize "never too old to learn" and extensive personal development based on the workplace, properly plan and adjust Industry 4, urbanization and talent structure. 4.0 will be a revolutionary progress, a global network of industrial processes, storage systems and industrial products, with material use and supply chain and life cycle management. Smart factories allow users to meet personalized customization needs.

Industry 4.0 is a high-tech strategic plan put forward by the German government. The project is jointly funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology, with an estimated investment of 200 million euros. The purpose is to improve the intelligence level of manufacturing industry, establish an intelligent factory with adaptability, resource efficiency and human factors engineering, and integrate customers and business partners in business processes and value processes. Its technical foundation is the network entity system and the Internet of Things.

purpose

German academic and industrial circles believe that the concept of "Industry 4.0" is the fourth industrial revolution led by intelligent manufacturing, or a revolutionary mode of production. This strategy aims to make the manufacturing industry intelligent by making full use of the combination of information and communication technology and cyberspace virtual system-cyberspace physical system.

The "Industry 4.0" project is mainly divided into three themes:

One is "intelligent factory", which focuses on the intelligentization of production systems and processes and the realization of networked distributed production facilities;

The second is "intelligent production", which mainly involves the production logistics management of the whole enterprise, human-computer interaction and the application of 3D technology in industrial production. The plan will pay special attention to attracting small and medium-sized enterprises to participate, and strive to make small and medium-sized enterprises become users and beneficiaries of the new generation of intelligent production technology, as well as creators and suppliers of advanced industrial production technology;

The third is "intelligent logistics", which mainly integrates logistics resources through the Internet, the Internet of Things and the logistics network, giving full play to the efficiency of existing logistics resource suppliers, and the demander can quickly obtain service matching and get logistics support.

affect

German manufacturing industry is one of the most competitive manufacturing industries in the world and is in a leading position in the field of global manufacturing equipment. This is largely due to Germany's emphasis on the research and development of innovative industrial technology products and the management of complex industrial processes. Germany has a strong equipment and workshop manufacturing industry, its ability in the field of information technology is at a high level in the world, and it has very professional technology in embedded systems and automation engineering. These factors have established Germany's leading position in the manufacturing engineering industry. Through the implementation of the Industry 4.0 strategy, Germany will become the supplier and leading market of the new generation of industrial production technology (that is, cyber-physical systems), and will enhance its global competitiveness on the premise of continuing to maintain the development of domestic manufacturing industry.
