Project Summary

COVID-19 has massively impacted manufacturing supply chains and created significant recovery gaps to local enterprises. Industry 4.0 is expected as solutions for them to reduce operation cost, improve products and services’ quality, and promote supply chain resilience.

However, Industry 4.0 adoption remains a challenge for local enterprises in developing economies due to shortage of experts, unaffordable Industry 4.0 solutions, etc.

This project focuses on practical implementation of affordable Industry 4.0 use in cases of local enterprises, with the assistance of developed economies’ experts. Project’s key components are recruiting auto-parts and food and beverage enterprises that strive for Industry 4.0 transformation, doing transformation roadmaps by experts, and implementing technologies by local enterprises at their own expense with assistance from experts’ consultations.

Expected outcomes are building and strengthening partnership in STI among APEC economies, accelerating STI adoption in manufacturing sectors, HR high-skilled capacity building in developing economies, and policy recommendations for governments regarding Industry 4.0 readiness.

Relevance

Issues: Since the pandemic, local enterprises, especially in developing economies, are struggling with adaptations and recovery. Industrial 4.0 Adoption and Transformation are expected as one of the suitable solutions to cope with these problems. To define right problems, Thailand i4.0 Index takes a vital part to indicate weak points and pinpoint the needed solutions for local enterprises. For this matter, experts from developed economies are required to help fulfill these gaps and build up the capabilities of local enterprises in all sizes. As a consequence, this project is aiming to build and strengthen partnership regarding Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) cooperation among APEC economies, (2) to accelerate STI adoption and transform in manufacturing sectors by localizing recommended smart services and solutions from developed economies’ experts with affordable implementation costs, (3) to create and improve HR high-skilled capacity building in developing economies, and (4) to formulate a guidance related to policy recommendations for governments in order to uplift Industry 4.0 readiness. All member economies can use the information shared during the workshop to establish their own initiatives. 

Eligibility and Fund Priorities: In accordance with the expected outcomes of this project, they are relating to two themes of General Project Account (GPA) funding priorities in 2022 in terms of ‘Reconnecting the region’ and ‘Pursuing innovation and a Digitally-Enabled Recovery’. Apart from the priority host-theme year, the GPA is suitable for this project since it has supported all types of projects that align with APEC Action Plans. 

Capacity Building: This project can come along with one of APEC’s objectives for capacity building in regard to ‘build APEC member economies’ capacity in the areas relevant to achieve the long term goal’ since this project is expected to provide long-term capacity building to local enterprises, particularly ones who cannot afford expensive aboard solutions, in many APEC developing economies, such as Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc., for creating, preparing, and encouraging Industry 4.0 Technology Adoption through STI cooperation within the Asia-Pacific Region in order to overcome future health and economic crises as well as other inevitable forthcoming incidents.

In this project, APEC economy participants will gain their knowledge regarding Introduction and Pre-work of I4.0, Thailand I4.0 Index Assessment, Business Model, Digital Business Strategy and Business Objectives for applying with their businesses. Outputs, particularly training course documents and an intensive lecture, will be provided to participants from both developed and developing economies in the concluding 2-day workshop. Moreover, the developed economies can use this opportunity to share their successful digital transformation solutions and also can promote their products or solutions to all of the participating factories.

Objectives

Our objectives are:

(1) to build and strengthen partnership regarding Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) cooperation among APEC economies, (2) to accelerate STI adoption in manufacturing sectors, especially local enterprises, as they have been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic or future unexpected and inevitable incidents, (3) to create as well as improve HR high-skilled capacity building in developing economies, and (4) to formulate a guidance related to policy recommendations for governments in order to uplift Industry 4.0 readiness, particularly in developing economies.

Alignment

Alignment to APEC: Since there has been continuity from New Zealand’s priority area to Thailand’s hosting year in 2022 on responding to the COVID-19 and being prepared for a post Covid-19 era, this project focuses on Industry 4.0 Technology Adoption and Transformation of manufacturing sectors, especially in auto-parts and food and beverage enterprises who are significant to economic matters in many APEC developing economies, in order to move forward from health and economic crisis, promote long-term growth, and escalate capacity building through Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) cooperation.

Further, as the theme of APEC 2022 on ‘Open. Connect. Balance.’, this project also aims to open for all feasible assistance from APEC developed economies to help creating and enhancing capacity building of local enterprises in APEC developing economies, to connect with all dimensions for strengthening STI cooperation regarding smart manufacturing within the Asia-Pacific Region, and to balance in all possible aspects for supporting local enterprises toward STI adoption and Industry 4.0 readiness. 

Alignment to Forum: According to APEC PPSTI Strategic Plan 2016-2025, this project is relevant to the Agreed Priority of ‘Enhancing Regional Science and Technology Connectivity’, particularly on ‘accelerating S&T knowledge sharing to strengthen regional connectivity as an enabler for innovation’ and ‘creating STI ecosystems & STI networks that strengthen regional STI linkages’, by learning best practices, experiences as well as consultations from experts coming from APEC developed economies, along with enhancing connectivity among industry, academia, and policy maker consortiums, in order to accelerate Industry 4.0 Technology Adoption and Transformation with affordable implementation costs in local enterprises, especially ones in APEC developing economies, to be ready for future disruptive incidents.

The workshop participants will learn examples of success cases or best practices from each developed economy and they can share knowledge in their most experienced or expertise pathways, including the latest economies’ industry roadmaps, current situations as well as experiences related to the development of their industries. A summary of the Course will be provided to the participants as information to share with their economies, and it is expected to be used as a means for encouraging their governments or other relevant authorities to develop their industries in their own economies’ contexts. Further, the reports from the Course and Workshop are planned to be published in the Project Summary Report as APEC publications.

Increase knowledge of the successful implementation of Industry 4.0 transformation for participating enterprises and course participants in many perspectives towards production technology, economics, human resource development, product life cycle and marketing. A completed transformation report of the enterprise will be presented to their executive levels for use of their project plannings in various perspectives, including financial, manpower and timeframe. Regarding the aforementioned, Industry 4.0 maturity levels of the enterprise will be assessed with Industry 4.0 maturity assessment tools, such as Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) or Thailand Industry 4.0 Index. It is expected that the maturity level of the factory will improve. The outcome from the Course can be adapted by other developing economies as well as other economies who are interested to uplift their industries. 

Increase of available data to support digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises in APEC economies by transferring knowledge from developed economies to the APEC-benefit content, along with being translated to both international and local-friendly content. Nevertheless, due to the constraints of travel, the project will initially focus on Thai experts, including PO (5), and a local enterprise, with at least 5 technical/engineer staff, who will get hands-on experience implementing the Industry 4.0 transformation process (from creating a roadmap to implementation). 

APEC member economies will gain insights and understanding of difficulties and limitations of implementing Industry 4.0 in developing economies. Experiences will be shared during the Two-Day Workshop, so the developing economies can adopt the practices of this showcase in their own way. There will be policy recommendations to developing economies that can be applied and/or adjusted to their economies’ contexts, and the recommendations are expected to be in the Project Summary Report and published as APEC publications as well.

Project Summary Report

Linkages

This project aims to contribute and strengthen linkages among APEC developed and developing economies through STI coordination concerning Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 Technology Adoption. It is expected to escalate engagement between academia, policy makers, industries, and enterprises, particularly local ones in APEC developing economies, to build and improve their capacity building to be capable of coping with future unexpected disruptions. In addition, the project can align with other APEC working groups, such as MSMEs and Inclusiveness Working Group, Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) Working Group, APEC Business Advisory Committee (ABAC), along with Human Resources Development Working Group and Committee on Trade and Investment, in the upcoming works.

Sustainability

Policymakers (industrial digital transformation) in APEC member economies can learn from the way of initiation, mechanism, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of each member economy from both workshops. They can adapt to their readiness and situations accordingly.

The government-industry promotion and regulatory agencies can formulate policies to accelerate the industrial digital transformation from the project's results.

The enterprise has a Digital Transformation Roadmap as the project's result. The enterprise can prioritize the implementation activities according to the allocation budget and circumstances.

The local participating SIs, factories, and government agencies will be invited to be a member of Sustainable Manufacturing Center (SMC), NECTEC. So, they are still engaged in the consortium of industrial digital transformation consortium. The updated news, information, knowledge sharing, and new initiation are kept in touch.

The Digital Transformation Roadmap will be evaluated with the framework of the Industry readiness index. Its result will represent the current stage of the development, and the gap analysis includes the recommended strategies and actions. The POs and Project's experts will conduct progress meetings and workshops in the format of face to face at the factories and online. All stakeholders (policy makers, factories management, local industrial system integrators, factory technical staff) will be involved in workshops and meetings accordingly. The fine-tuned activities will adapt to solve the constraint situations and get along with the outcomes.
