Brief description
In the wake of Industry 4.0, Malaysia government is spearheading with its policy to kickstart and accelerate industries towards the next level of technology adaptation. Built upon the foundation of its predecessors which already achieves significant level of automation, the revolutionary concept, was first raised for upgrading German economy in 2011 (Roblek et al., 2016). It generally involves developing infrastructures into processes to capitalize on the omnipresence of network connectivity, so that value chain can be operate in a greatly enhanced effeciency and responsiveness. A description of Industry 4.0 provided in Consortium II Fact Sheet (2013) is given as “the integration of complex physical machinery and devices with networked sensors and software, used to predict, control and plan for better business and societal outcomes.” From the manufacturing perspective, Industry 4.0 introduces the paradigm of Smart Factory: IT-enabled mass customization of manufactured products; highly automated and flexible production chain; high product instant traceability; communicability between parts, products and machines; human-machine interaction (HMI); internet of thing (IoT)-enabled production optimization; rapid product/service development and deployment (Lu, 2017). Underpinned the paradigm are a number of noteworthy principles:interoperability, virtualization, decentralization, real-time capability, service orientation and modularity (Shafiq et al., 2015).
In these lights, the primary aim of the forum is to build bridges between academicians, technology providers, manufacturers and students to disseminate latest development in Industry 4.0 and IoT in terms of technologies, applications, and future career implications. Renowned speakers from various industries and sectors would be invited, including Intel, Motorola, SilTerra etc. The targeted audiance includes engineering undergraduates and postgraduates, industrial personnel, academician, researchers and Malaysian goverment authorities. It also open to all IET members and non-members as well as public.
