ABSTRACT

Today the concept of Industry 4.0 has been widely adopted by many countries. It is rather a narrow concept, compared to that of 4th Industrial Revolution, which presumes a wide impact on the national economy and society. The Korean approach to the Industry 4.0 is the 4th Industrial Revolution. The Korean government established the ‘Presidential Committee on the Fourth Industrial Revolution’ (PCFIR) and has initiated major agendas related to the Industry 4.0. One of the ‘Committee’s’ major agendas is the diffusion of smart factories, which play an important role in the Industry 4.0. However, the Korean approach to the 4th Industrial Revolution has been difficult to be successfully implemented because regional governments have not participated in the ‘Presidential Committee’. Smart factories have diffused unevenly since Korea’s R&D potential, which needed for their adoption, have been concentrated in Seoul, Gyeonggi and a few industrialized regions. Korea needs to take these points into consideration in its implementation of the 4th Industrial Revolution in the future.

摘要

如今，工业 4.0 的概念已被许多国家广泛采用。与第四次工业革命相比，它是一个相当狭隘的概念，它假设对国民经济和社会产生广泛的影响。韩国对工业 4.0 的态度是第四次工业革命。韩国政府成立了“第四次工业革命总统委员会”（PCFIR），并启动了与工业 4.0 相关的主要议程。“委员会”的主要议程之一是普及智能工厂，这在工业 4.0 中发挥着重要作用。然而，由于地区政府没有参加“总统委员会”，韩国对第四次工业革命的方法难以成功实施。由于韩国的研发潜力，智能工厂分布不均，需要采用它们的主要集中在首尔、京畿道和一些工业化地区。韩国在未来实施第四次工业革命时需要考虑这些要点。
