Creative Thinking For an Innovative Business
Technology: Industry
4.0
By: Avradya Mayagita
As we know that currently technology is increasingly developed and there is progress where human life has been surpassed before by the change in the industrial revolution 1.0 in the process of producing goods, namely making everything with a steam engine. This discovery is very important, because before the advent of steam engines, at that time humans could only rely on muscle power, water power, and wind power to move anything. Industrial Revolution 2.0 This second industrial revolution took place in the early 20th century. At that time, production was already using machines. Muscle power has been replaced by steam engines, and now steam power has begun to be replaced with electric power. However, the production process at the factory is still far from the production process at the modern factory in one thing: transportation. The transportation of products inside the factory is still heavy, so that kinds of large items, such as cars, must be produced by assembling in the same place. At this time humans have begun to create cars, motorcycles and other means of transportation. Over time this life has entered the era of the industrial revolution 3.0 where humans are producing something starting to use computers.
This third revolution is triggered by a moving machine, which thinks automatically: computers and robots. And now we have entered in the industry 4.0 era where experts believe this era is an era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, because there are many new innovations in Industry 4.0, including the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, 3D printing, Artifical Intelligence (AI), driverless vehicles, genetic engineering, robots and smart machines. Currently there are 5 countries that have used robots as human replacement machines including:
1) South
Korea. According to information the majority of robots in South Korea are used in the industrial sector and
electronic and digital manufacturing. South Korea has also become the most advanced country
in the world in terms of technological infrastructure. South
Korea electronic products, such as Samsung and
LG, have also dominated the world, from sophisticated cellphones, plasma televisions, LCDs, to semiconductors. In
addition, Korea also has produces robots which
are dubbed as a substitute for human labor, they can be in the form of animals,
or in the form of other sophisticated machines. The robot can be found in various industrial areas and there
are even people who have used robots in their
homes to meet household needs such as washing clothes, taking goods both light and heavy loads. Korea is also intensively developing future strategic industries such as Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology, Robotics and space technology. The first success
of South Korea's
exports occurred in exports of light industrial products such as textiles and apparel, electronic components, plywood, wigs, and intermediary goods
2) Singapore, almost 90% of robots in Singapore are used as replacement machines for human workers based on the
latest information. Singapore already has 488 robots for 10,000 workers
3) Germany,
robot machines in Germany have reached 309 in the automotive industry
4) Japan, currently Japan uses 303 robot machines per 10 thousand workers to make cars
5) and Denmark,
entrepreneurs in Denmark
use 211 robots per 10 thousand workers, which has reached 25% of
total production.
Beside that, one of the biggest things in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is the Internet of Things. In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 produced "smart factories" and can be said to be the era of robotic. In a modular, intelligent structure factory, cyber-physical systems supervise physical processes, create virtual copies of the physical world, and make decisions that are not centralized. Nowadays technological advances are increasingly indicated where everyone can achieve everything in a very instant manner, all can be accessed through the internet network. The public currently relies on gadgets as a tool to communicate and search for information as well as in the planning of the packaging process of the product and the manufacture of the product itself in the field of entrepreneurship. Current developments in information technology include the development of IT infrastructure, such as hardware, software, data storage technology and communication technology. In the era of industry 4.0, many rely on information technology in all fields from economics, education, health, government and others. Because information technology greatly facilitates humans in producing, processing data and disseminating information, so information technology in this era is very fast developing. The development of information technology so that human labor can turn into mechanical power, apart from the speed of engine power is also more guaranteed accuracy and success in working instantaneously. The process can provide useful insights for factory management. Data is processed with sophisticated tools (analytics and algorithms) to produce logical information. The data that is processed can also help consider the problems seen and not seen in industrial plants. Indonesia has also begun to provide impetus to prepare what is needed by industry players. They have done several things, such as providing incentives to labor-intensive businesses in the form of industrial infrastructure, collaborating with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology in optimizing bandwidth, and providing the National Industrial Information System (SIINAS) that facilitates data integration to build the electronic industry. One factory that has adopted directly is a German electric appliance factory in Indonesia, namely PT Schneider Electric Manufacturing Batam (SEMB). One example is that Indosat has shown how 5G networks can be applied in Industry 4.0, so Indosat has shown how Indosat helps the industry. Today's industry has increased and is extraordinary, now Indonesia has made use of digital technology to spur productivity and competitiveness and start using digital technologies such as Big Data, Autonomous Robots, Cybersecurity, Cloud, and Augmented Reality. Based on the facts of the report stated that Indonesia ranked 31st in innovation and 32nd for business sophistication. In fact, Indonesia is considered as one of the top innovators among developing countries, along with China and India. In addition to Indonesia, other Asian countries such as Thailand have also indicated that the industry has advanced and has high creativity such as entrepreneurs who create attractive product packaging, creating new innovations in making products that do not yet exist in other countries. For example a creativity found at Rajamangala University of Technology Krungthep, students at the university have do creative business entrepreneurship by creating brands, product packaging, food and etc. In addition, Thailand's superiority is also in its efficient production capability of one ton commercial cars and SUVs, with an installed capacity of 3 million units per year. Currently car production in Thailand has reached 170847.00.
