By implementing intelligent production processes, companies can achieve greater production flexibility and shorter time-to-market, while also being able to provide more personalized products and services.

1.2 development process

Industrial 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), is based on the division of different stages of industrial development, marking the intelligent era of using information technology to promote industrial change. The development of this concept is based on the first three industrial revolutions, each of which profoundly changed the mode of production and social structure.

The first industrial revolution began in England at the end of the 18th century, marking the transition from manual labor to mechanized production. Through the use of water and steam power, mass production became possible, and machines replaced traditional human and animal power. The finished products of this period were mainly manufactured by machine rather than by hand.

Immediately afterwards, the second industrial revolution arrived a century later, introducing assembly line production methods, and oil and electricity began to be widely used. The application of new energy sources, combined with advanced means of communication such as telephone and telegraph, has brought about the initial realization of larger-scale production and automation for the manufacturing industry.

The third industrial revolution occurred in the middle of the 20th century, with the introduction of computers, advanced communication technologies and data analysis, and the digitization of manufacturing processes. The use of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) makes it possible to automate some processes, while also facilitating the collection and sharing of data.

We are now in the fourth industrial revolution, the era of industrial 4.0, the core of which is to increase production efficiency through automation and intelligent equipment, and use data-driven decision-making to achieve more efficient and effective goods production throughout the value chain. This period is characterized by an increase in production flexibility, enabling manufacturers to better meet customer needs through mass customization, achieving efficiency and scale integration. Smart factories achieve information transparency and better decision-making by collecting shop floor data and combining it with enterprise operation data.

The concept of industrial 4.0 was first proposed at the Hannover Messe in Germany in 2013 to improve the competitiveness of German industry. The German government has listed it as one of the top ten future projects in the "German 2020 High Technology Strategy", with an estimated investment of 0.2 billion billion euros to promote the intelligentization of the manufacturing industry and the establishment of resource-efficient and adaptable smart factories. The technical basis of industrial 4.0 is the network entity system (Cyber-Physical Systems, CPS) and the Internet of Things. Through these technologies, the supply, manufacturing, and sales information in production is digitized and intelligent to achieve fast, effective and personalized product supply.

Germany's "Industrial 4.0" strategy emphasizes the transition from centralized control to decentralized enhanced control, and aims to establish a highly flexible personalized and digital production model. Under this model, traditional industry boundaries will disappear, new areas of activity and forms of cooperation will be generated, the division of labor in the industrial chain will be reorganized, and the manufacturing industry will be transformed to intelligence by making full use of information and communication technology and cyberspace virtual systems.

Industrial 4.0 is not only a technological revolution, it also represents a profound change in the mode of production, the organization of enterprises and the whole social structure. With the continuous advancement of information technology and intelligent manufacturing, industrial 4.0 will continue to lead the global manufacturing industry towards a more efficient and intelligent future.

1.3 development status

The current state of China's industrial 4.0 is built on breakthrough technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, value-added manufacturing, and robotics. This development strategy aims to build a "smart factory" with high flexibility and high resource utilization by fully integrating and optimizing resources, talents and information in the virtual and real worlds ". Industrial 4.0 creates a "digital thread" that runs through the entire business value chain by enabling continuous, real-time flow of information from product development, procurement, manufacturing, distribution, retail to the end customer ". This not only greatly improves the transparency of information, but also achieves a significant reduction in operating costs, a high degree of product personalization, flexible and efficient manufacturing and product development processes, and also promotes business model innovation.

Although China has written a manufacturing legend in the past 30 years, its productivity level still lags far behind that of developed countries. In the past, the rapid growth of China's manufacturing industry mainly relied on cheap labor, capital and imitation of innovation. However, with the gradual disappearance of these competitive advantages, China is facing the pressure of transformation and upgrading. Therefore, the Chinese government issued the "Made in China 2025" policy, which aims to use the wave of industrial 4.0 to promote China's transformation from the world's largest manufacturing country to a developed manufacturing country.

In order to successfully achieve digital transformation, Chinese manufacturers must find a digital transformation path suitable for Chinese characteristics based on their own status quo. This includes strengthening R & D investment in core technology fields, improving innovation capabilities, optimizing industrial structure, and cultivating highly skilled talents. At the same time, strengthening exchanges and cooperation with international advanced manufacturing industries, absorbing and learning from international advanced technology and management experience are also important ways to achieve transformation and upgrading.
