1. For those involved in the PCBA processing industry, Industry 4.0 has gained significant momentum in recent years. So, what precisely is Industry 4.0?

2. Industry 4.0 is not merely an industrial issue, nor is it limited to everyday life; its influence and scope are vast, making its boundaries challenging to define. However, it is clear that it has the potential to reshape the global landscape.

3. Following Chinese Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to Germany in October 2014 and the subsequent release of the “China-Germany Cooperation Action Program,” the concept of “Industry 4.0” gained traction in China.

4. Consequently, the strategic importance of “Industry 4.0” and “intelligent manufacturing” has surged rapidly. It can be stated that “Made in China 2025” has indeed been influenced by Germany’s “Industry 4.0,” with notable similarities in core concepts.

5. For instance, “Made in China 2025” highlights “intelligent manufacturing” as a primary focus, which aligns closely with the essence of “Industry 4.0.” Furthermore, the cyber-physical system (CPS) referenced in “Made in China 2025” as a foundation for intelligent manufacturing is also a key concept in Germany’s “Industry 4.0.”

1. The transformation and upgrading of domestic industries, such as SMT chip processing and PCBA processing, aligns with “Industry 4.0.” The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology began preparations for manufacturing initiatives over the next decade as early as three to four years ago through the Industry Development Plan: “Made in China 2025.” This plan aims to draw insights from Germany’s “Industry 4.0,” adopting intelligent manufacturing strategies and establishing a clear roadmap for China’s emergence as a modern industrial power.

2. “Industry 4.0” serves as a developmental concept, while “Made in China 2025” has shifted away from the previous five-year limit, extending its focus to 2025. It emphasizes medium- and long-term planning, concentrating on sectors that require strengthening within China’s industry. The goal is to transition the nation from an industrial powerhouse to an innovative industrial leader by 2025.

3. Historically, China’s manufacturing sector has been characterized by low technological levels, positioning it at the lower end of the global industrial value chain. Thanks to the proactive efforts of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the deep integration of industrialization and informatization has laid a robust foundation for the networking and intelligent evolution of the manufacturing industry. This new wave of industrial revolution will undoubtedly accelerate the merging of these two technologies: the thorough incorporation of information technology into manufacturing will transform traditional production processes, methods, and management approaches, leading to a highly flexible configuration of production factors and enabling mass customization.

4. Currently, companies in the SMT chip processing and PCBA processing sectors are striving to enhance customer service and elevate their standards by actively advancing towards the era of Industry 4.0, with the aim of realizing the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation as swiftly as possible.
