What are the opportunities and challenges of Industry 4.0 in China?

Industry 4.0 can also be called the fourth industrial revolution, which is relative to the first three industrial revolutions. With the high integration of information technology and industrial technology, it subverts not only people's lifestyle, but also greater magic. Information technology has changed the production mode of manufacturing industry, and it continues to blow the "Industry 4.0" wind around the world. With the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the promotion of the Internet, the concept of "Industry 4.0" is expected to become the theme of continuous concern in the A-share market in the Year of the Sheep, and manufacturing stocks with valuation advantages and transformation potential deserve attention.

Challenges and opportunities faced by China.

Challenge: China's manufacturing industry is "big but not strong"

China's traditional manufacturing industry accounts for a large proportion, and most of them are in the stage of Industry 2.0 and Industry 3.0. In the past, these problems were partly covered up because of China's low-cost competitive advantage. However, with the arrival of the "high-cost era" in China, the low-cost competitive advantage of the traditional manufacturing industry has gradually lost, and it is urgent to formulate a strategic plan for the development of Industry 4.0.

With the disappearance of demographic dividend, the labor supply decreases, the labor cost increases, and the employment intention of the new generation labor manufacturing industry decreases, which greatly restricts the international competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry. According to the statistics of a consulting organization in the United States, the comprehensive cost of employers in the coastal areas of China is close to that in some parts of the United States.

China, as a big manufacturing country that produces13 of the world, will face challenges if it does not respond positively. On the other hand, when the industry is upgraded, it will passively accept new standards and new equipment from Germany. detailed

Opportunity: the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry attracts people's attention

China has the advantage of expanding Industry 4.0. It is the only country in the world that has all the industrial categories in the United Nations Industrial Classification, and has formed a complete and independent industrial system. This huge and complete industrial system, relying on the agglomeration effect of many industrial enterprises, has a high degree of flexibility, which has effectively paved the way for the future realization of "Industry 4.0". At the same time, China is not only an important product producer, but also one of the largest consumer markets in the world. This dual role will make the domestic market and industrial production have stronger interaction, promote social and economic development, and help to resist the impact of world economic fluctuations.

At present, with the rapid development of Internet, Internet of Things and electronic technology, the expansion of Industry 4.0 in China's manufacturing industry has been quietly launched. According to IDC's forecast last year, the internetization of manufacturing industry will penetrate into the value chain links such as enterprise R&D, production, logistics, sales and after-sales; 20 15, the trend of manufacturing internet will be further extended to products.
