Did you know that Indonesia is focusing on accelerating ‘Industry 4.0’? Automation is one of the main points of this ‘Industry 4.0’ concept. This new technology brings worry to people, especially workers in the industry, that they might be replaced with robots. This concept is not wrong, but also not completely true.
‘Industry 4.0’ transformation that proposes automation is not only about how to use robots to take over human work, but rather about how to run processes in industry more efficiently and effectively. It is about how to identify innovations fast and at optimal costs. If a company can produce 300 finished goods per day, how to optimize the process so that the company can produce 350 goods at the same cost in the future. To gain a better understanding, let’s look at the 4 advantages of automation.

Every company wants their customers to be satisfied with their products. This brings in new customers, thus increases demand. Consequently, company profit will go up.
