Trend of applying 4.0 technology achievements in the automobile industry

Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) has marked a decisive shift in the integration of advanced technologies (typically digital transformation, artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, industrial IoT ...) in the entire production life cycle. Most automotive manufacturers are ready to join Industry 4.0. In order to recognize the impact and benefits of IR4.0 achievements for the automobile industry, the article approaches information on the trend of applying IR4.0 technologies in typical stages of the automobile industry such as: pre-production period (research, design, simulation ...), the production stage at the factory, and the post-production stage (distribution system, post-sale system ...) of the automobile manufacturing industry appeared in recent years. Based on information from published works, the paper analyzed and assessed the readiness of the trend of applying 4.0 technologies to promote performance improvement in the automotive industry, as well as key barriers and recommendations.
