Ukwenziwa kwedijithali kuthuthuka ngesivinini esiphezulu ngo-2020. I-“Industry 4.0 Factory of the Future” ikhombisa izinzuzo ezahlukahlukene ezilethwa yi-Industry 4.0 kanye nokukhiqizwa kwedijithali, okuhlanganisa ukuqinisa ukuxhumana okuseduze phakathi kwamakhasimende nabaphakeli, ukwandisa ukusebenza kahle kokukhiqiza kanye nenzuzo yezimboni, ukuqaphela ukukhiqizwa okuqhubekayo, ukuqapha inqubo okuzenzakalelayo kanye nokulawula ikhwalithi.

Lo msebenzi uhloselwe amaphuzu avamile abasebenzisi ababhekana nawo, njengokuthi: ama-oda amaningi kakhulu, kuthatha isikhathi esiningi ukuqinisekisa amandla okukhiqiza; uma kuhlolwaisikhunta, kuthatha isikhathi esiningi ukulungisa amapharamitha nokuthola amarekhodi angaphambilini; ngemva kokuba umshini ukhiqizwe isikhathi eside, ingcindezi yangempela yomjovo iqala ukushintsha. Ikhwalithi yokukhiqiza ayizinzile;

Ngemva kokuba umshini umile ngendlela engajwayelekile, kuthatha isikhathi eside ukuthola imbangela yokuma kwawo; udinga ukulungiswa kabusha, futhi ochwepheshe bokuqala befektri abaniningi kakhulu. Izingxenye ezintathu ezinkulu zinikeza abasebenzisi inqwaba yezixazululo zokufika, okuhlanganisa: I-Smart Factory ikhombisa ukusebenza kwangempela kwefektri yedijithali. I-Arburg, i-Boshiyuan, i-Engel, i-Heihu Manufacturing, i-KraussMaffei, i-Lijin, i-Matsui, i-Mourint, i-Modan, i-WITTMANN Battenfeld, i-Yizumi, i-Zhugeyun nezinye izinkampani ezinkulu kanye ne-China Unicom Bonisa umugqa wokukhiqiza wokubumba injection ohlakaniphile ndawonye; igumbi lokulawula eliyinhloko lokukhiqiza elihlakaniphile le-Homo sapiens lixhumanisa imishini yamadokodo ahlukene kanye nefektri yokukhiqiza etholakala endaweni ekude ngaphandle kwehholo lombukiso; indawo yokulingisa yedijithali kanye nombukiso weworkshop yesipiliyoni kanye nesikhunta esihlakaniphile, ukukhiqizwa okuhlakaniphile, ukulawula ikhwalithi okuhlakaniphile, ukuzenzekela okuhlakaniphile Ngokuphathelene nezimo zokulingisa, kufanelekile ukusho ukuthi iworkshop entsha yesipiliyoni izokwethula imboni ekusetshenzisweni kwe-Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture (OPC UA).

I-“Industry 4.0 Factory of the Future” ibanjwe ngesikhathi esifanayo nombukiso. Isingathwe yi-Adsale Exhibition Services Co., Ltd. kanye nomgogodla we-Industry 4.0-iPlast 4.0 Smart Manufacturing Innovation Center. I-European Plastic and Rubber Industry Machinery Manufacturers Association (EUROMAP), i-German Association of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers (VDMA) bahlele ngokubambisana lesi sakhiwo esinzima, kanti i-OPC Foundation yayiyi-co-ordinator yalo mcimbi.
