The Fourth Industrial Revolution-commonly referred to as Industry 4.0-with smart manufacturing currently on its forefront-has arrived. The manufacturing industry is evolving and manufacturers of all sizes, worldwide, need to evolve too. In order not to be left behind from early adopters, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) integrate modern Smart Manufacturing-related Information and Digital Technologies (SMIDT) such as artificial intelligence with their business operations to enable smart manufacturing. The present study is concerned with identifying the determinants of SMIDT adoption within manufacturing SMEs. The study benefits from a cross-sectional survey to capture the opinions of Malaysian and Iranian participating SMEs. Results indicate that a collection of technological, organizational, and environmental factors determine SMEs decision for SMIDT adoption. The study further explores how various combinations of identified determinants have influenced the implementation of 13 individual SMIDT among SMEs. Theoretical contribution and managerial implications of this research are discussed which are believed to offer valuable insights to academicians, executives, and policymakers.

第四次工业革命（通常称为工业4.0）已经到来，其智能制造技术目前处于最前沿。制造业在发展，全球各种规模的制造商也需要发展。为了不被早期采用者所抛弃，中小企业（SME）将诸如人工智能等与智能制造相关的现代信息和数字技术（SMIDT）与他们的业务运营相集成，以实现智能制造。本研究与确定制造业中小企业采用SMIDT的决定因素有关。这项研究得益于一项横断面调查，该调查收集了马来西亚和伊朗参与的中小企业的意见。结果表明，技术，组织，和环境因素决定了中小企业采用SMIDT的决定。该研究进一步探讨了已确定的决定因素的各种组合如何影响中小企业中13种个体SMIDT的实施。讨论了这项研究的理论贡献和管理意义，据认为这将为院士，高管和决策者提供宝贵的见解。
