Automation professionals, people are depending on you

摘要

Automation professionals are major contributors to a manufacturing and process company's competitiveness and are vital for success. Low labor cost is no longer a winning manufacturing strategy, resulting in the growing implementation of automation in countries worldwide to become leadership producers. Modernizing manufacturing is vitally important in this and has spawned worldwide initiatives centered on automation, including Germany's Industrie 4.0, Made in China 2025, Japan Industrial Value Chain Initiative (IVI), Make in India, Indonesia 4.0, Latvia: National Industrial Policy Guidelines 2014-2020, Initiative for Polish Industry 4.0, Italy: Industria 4.0, and France: Industrie du futur.
