“…By deploying the right combination of technologies, manufacturers can boost speed, efficiency, and coordination and even facilitate self-managing factory operations. Several research points out those as the basic benefits to gain in business (see, e.g., [17][18][19]). Keeping these three aspects into account, the components of managerial view is depicted in Figure 3.…”

Industry 4.0 and related technologies will remain at the top agenda of manufacturing systems until respective digital transformation is completed. In order to increase the speed of the transformation and the respective performance, a taxonomy of industry 4.0 is proposed in this chapter. The taxonomy is defined through four aspects including strategic understanding, managerial practices, technological infrastructure and developments, as well as human intervention with respective skills and competencies. Each aspect of these is defined and further subcategorized in order to reveal the real dynamics of industry 4.0 and respective implementations. Generating the taxonomy would also easy the categorization of the respective efforts and make the assessment processes to be carried out more effectively. It is also believed that the proposed taxonomy will be the source of generating a maturity model of industry 4.0. Note that the proposed taxonomy and respective components are defined by reviewing 620 papers, maturity models, and industry 4.0 projects.

“…The smart factory is regarded as a kind of intelligent factories which is the major goals of Industry 4.0 [32]. Multi-agents simulation used in manufacturers resource planning [3], and value-added integration either horizontally or vertically or mixed style in the manufacturing process becomes one trend [34] [35]. Value creation modules from the material procurement to the logistics expanded and implemented horizontally, whereas the vertical procedure integrates product, equipment, and operators.…”

Cyber-physical system (CPS) is one core concept of Industry 4.0. A cyber space has mirror information of physical space and activities in the physical space are synchronized with activities in cyber space. SURUGA Gateway is a CPS, running in a Japanese robot component producer. Innovation process (design) and operation (manufacturing) process is integrated together on the SURUGA Gateway, enabling high quality, short leadtime, low cost, and high flexibility. Various decisions were made in the cyber space, then executed in physical space automatically. Materials input to manufacturing process according to production plan which created by modified ERP (enterprise resource planning) system, fabricated according to optimized routing and scheduling. All NC (numerical control) machines and MC (machining center) were connected and integrated on a centralized platform using Ethercat protocol and interface, and serial electronic signal control for old machines. The KAMISHIBAI (VPS: virtual production system) is embedded in the SURUGA Gateway, providing online training to assembly operators. Innovation process drives operation process, while know-how to improve efficiency and quality in operation process is feedback to the innovation process. The integration of innovation process and operation process, specifically the integration of design, material flow, machine flow and human resource is most successful point of the SURUGA Gateway. SURUGA Gateway successfully reduced leadtime by 80% and recognized as best practice in Hannover Messe and G20 business conference.

The manufacture of disposable medical material in a developing country is a labor-intensive manufacturing process. Quality inspections are based on experts' personal observations, who then decide which products fulfill the required quality. Errors in quality control can have fatal consequences due to the clinical use of the products. Furthermore, we cope with several manufacturing problems that affect demand fulfillment. In this context, we need an efficient production line with reliable quality control processes, i.e. a lean production system, no wastes. Implementing the concepts of Industry 4.0 is therefore recommended for a continuous improvement process in the disposable medical material industry. In the current research, we introduce automated assembly machines as a first step to establish new standards for production and quality. Furthermore, we analyze the long-term benefits based on the application of automation, lean production and Industry 4.0.
