Indonesia is ready to implement Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 includes the internet of things, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, mobility, virtual and augmented reality, sensor systems and automation, and virtual branding.

A number of domestic manufacturing companies are readying themselves for the application of industrial digitalization. To optimize performance of the national manufacturing industry, efforts will be made to accelerate the application of digital technology.
Industry 4.0 is expected to have a significant impact on the manufacturing sector in Indonesia, encouraging a huge increase in Indonesia’s economic output. Industry 4.0 is a big leap in the manufacturing sector through maximum utilization of information and communication technology. The entire value chain can be made to achieve optimal efficiency so as to give birth to new digital-based business models. In addition, 4.0 not only has tremendous potential in driving policy changes in the manufacturing sector but is also able to change various aspects of human civilization and life.

Indonesia has chosen five manufacturing sectors that will be the pioneers in implementation of digitalization, namely, the food and beverage industry, textiles and clothing, automotives, chemicals, and electronics. These manufacturing sectors have been chosen because of its high contribution to the national economy, with contributions of up to 60 per cent in GDP, export value, and employment.
