PENDAHULUAN

Industry 4.0 is a term often used to refer to the developmental process in the
management of manufacturing and chain production. The term also refers to the fourth
industrial revolution.
The term Industry 4.0 was first publicly introduced in 2011 as “Industrie 4.0” by a
group of representatives from different fields (such as business, politics, and academia)
under an initiative to enhance the German competitiveness in the manufacturing
industry. The German federal government adopted the idea in its High-Tech Strategy
for 2020. Subsequently, a Working Group was formed to further advise on the
implementation of Industry 4.0.
In 2003, they developed and published their first set of recommendations. Their
vision entailed that “these Cyber-Physical Systems comprise smart machines, storage
systems and production facilities capable of autonomously exchanging information,
triggering actions and controlling each other independently. This facilitates
fundamental improvements to the industrial processes involved in manufacturing,
engineering, material usage and supply chain and lifecycle management”.
Industry 4.0 remains a term well-known in German-speaking areas.
Consequently, this guide will aim at attempting to define the term, exploring the design
principles, the advantages and the challenges facing such an approach, and try to
quantify the potential lying underneath.

2.1 What is Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is an approach to control production process by providing real-time


synchronization of flows and by enabling unitary & customize production. Industry
4.0, presented at the Hanover Trade Fair in 2011, is the joint responsibility of the
German government, industry, the research community and the social partners to the
perception of threats to German industrial leadership. It fuels an offensive strategy
oriented towards the conquest of new markets and illustrates a technological ambition:
to produce industrial series of units at costs equivalent to those of mass production.
This must be achieved by networking machines with each other and machines with
men, using production-based systems (cyber-physical production systems) to meet the
growing need for personalization products.
The fourth industrial revolution takes the automation of manufacturing processes
to a new level by introducing customized and flexible mass production technologies.
This means that machines will operate independently, or cooperate with humans in
creating a customer-oriented production field that constantly works on maintaining
itself. The machine rather becomes an independent entity that is able to collect data,
analyze it, and advise upon it. This becomes possible by introducing self-optimization,
self-cognition, and self-customization into the industry. The manufacturers will be able
to communicate with computers rather than operate them.

2.2 The Advantage Of Industry 4.0


Industry 4.0 will truly revolutionize the way manufacturing processes work.
However, this is the advantages of industry 4.0:
1. Optimization
Optimizing production is a key advantage to Industry 4.0. A Smart Factory
containing hundreds or even thousands of Smart Devices that are able to self-
optimize production will lead to an almost zero time in production. This is
extremely important for industries that use high-end expensive manufacturing
equipment such as the semi-conductors industry. Being able to utilize
production constantly and consistently will profit the company.
2. Customization
Creating a flexible market that is customer-oriented will help meet the
population’s needs fast and smoothly. It will also destroy the gap between the
manufacturer and the customer. Communication will take place between both
directly. Manufacturers won’t have to communicate internally (in companies
and factories) and externally (to customers). This fastens the production and
delivery processes.
3. Pushing Research
The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies will push research in various fields
such as IT security and will have its effect on the education in particular. A
new industry will require a new set of skills. Consequently, education and
training will take a new shape that provides such an industry will the required
skilled labor.

2.3 The Effect and Challenges Facing Industry 4.0


There are some effect or challenges facing industry 4.0, such as:
1. Security
Perhaps the most challenging aspect of implementing Industry 4.0 techniques
is the IT security risk. This online integration will give room to security
breaches and data leaks. Cyber theft must also be put into consideration. In
this case, the problem is not individual, but can, and probably will, cost
producers money and might even hurt their reputation. Therefore, research in
security is crucial.
2. Capital
Such transformation will require a huge investment in a new technology that
doesn’t sound cheap. The decision to make such transformation will have to be
on CEO level. Even then, the risks must be calculated and taken seriously. In
addition, such transformation will require a huge capital, which alienates
smaller businesses and might cost them their market share in the future.
3. Employment
While it still remains early to speculate on employment conditions with the
adoption of Industry 4.0 globally, it is safe to say that workers will need to
acquire different or an all-new set of skills. This may help employment rates go
up but it will also alienate a big sector workers. The sector of workers whose
work is perhaps repetitive will face a challenge in keeping up with the industry.
Different forms of education must be introduced, but it still doesn’t solve the
problem for the elder portion of workers. This is an issue that might take longer
to solve and will be further analyzed later in this report.
4. Privacy
This not only the customer’s concern, but also the producers. In such an
interconnected industry, producers need to collect and analyze data. To the
customer, this might look like a threat to his privacy. This is not only exclusive
to consumers. Small or large companies who haven’t shared their data in the
past will have to work their way to a more transparent environment. Bridging
the gap between the consumer and the producer will be a huge challenge for
both parties.
2.4 The Way Of Industry 4.0 is Delivering Revenue, Cost and Efficiency gains
Industry 4.0 giving offers and opportunities for things that can improve the
welfare of society in general. The implementation of industry 4.0 can increase
productivity, employment, and market expansion for industry. So, how industry 4.0 is
delivering revenue, cost and efficiency gains:
1. Additional revenue from:
 Digitising products and services within the existing portfolio
 New digital products, services and solutions
 Offering big data and analytics as a service.
 Personalised products and mass customisation.
 Capturing high-margin business through improved customer insight from
data analytics
 Increasing market share of core products
2. Lower cost and greater efficiency from:
 Real-time inline quality control based on Big Data Analytics
 Modular, flexible and customer-tailored production concepts
 Real-time visibility into process and product variance, augmented reality
and optimisation by data analytics
 Predictive maintenance on key assets using predictive algorithms to
optimise repair and maintenance schedules and improve asset uptime
 Vertical integration from sensors through MES to real-time production
planning for better machine utilisation and faster throughput times
 Horizontal integration, as well as track-and-trace of products for better
inventory performance and reduced logistics
 Digitisation and automation of processes for a smarter use of human
resources and higher operations speed
 System based, real-time end-to-end planning and horizontal collaboration
using cloud based planning platforms for execution optimisation
 Increased scale from increased market share of core products

PENUTUP

3.1 Kesimpulan
Industry 4.0 is definitely a revolutionary approach to manufacturing techniques.
The concept will push global manufacturers to a new level of optimization and
productivity. Not only that, but customers will also enjoy a new level of
personally customized products that may have never been available before. As
mentioned above, the economic rewards are immense. However, there are still
many challenges that need to be tackled systematically to ensure a smooth
transition. This needs to be the focus of large corporations and governments alike.
Pushing research and experimentation in such fields are essential. While
speculations regarding privacy, security, and employment need more study, the
overall picture is promising. Such approach to manufacturing industries is truly
revolutionary.
