东台精机董事长严瑞雄 ：台湾的老板们，别把工业4.0想得太复杂 “Don’t think Industry 4.0 is always complicated”, Yen said
精密机械研究发展中心董事长、东台精机董事长严瑞雄在2016天下经济论坛（CWEF），分享投入工业4.0两年的经验。他以务实角度分析，台湾制造业想问的，应该不是工业4.0是什么，而是我该怎么跨出第一步。
智慧工厂的目标是要合理化、省人化、自动化、无人化，但并非把机器人带到工厂中，所有问题就自动解决。在机器上安装感测器，抓出电流、电压、温度等资讯，透过机联网让我们得以取得更多生产线的资讯，让制造产品的效率更好。人们不再需要守着机台设备，专注在生产策略规划或改善，对制造业而言，就是往附加价值高的商业区域移动。
台湾有自己的优势与限制，设备在哪个等级都没关系，只要有向生产力4.0迈进就好，让设备商与客户一起补学分。
Mr. Yen, the Chairman of Tongtai, shared his experiences in Industry 4.0 development for 2 years in CWEF 2016. “Now the question of Industry 4.0 for Taiwanese manufacturers is how to get their foot in the door, instead of what the industry 4.0 is.”, Yen said.
The goal of intelligent factory is including labor saving. However, it’s not only to set-up robotic arm in the factory. Machine, which is another player in this game. To equip sensors in machines for getting information about electric current, voltage, and temperature, furthermore, by the technology of IoT, the manufacturers are able to get these information from production lines directly. All information will be used for improving production efficiency. It allows the customers are able to invest more resources in production strategies planning. In that time, the business model in Taiwanese manufacturing industry might be changed.
"Compared with other countries, Taiwan owns exclusive advantages and limitations. Let us learn and work together for Industry 4.0.", Yen said.
