Outlook

Outline



How does the Future will look like?



Smart industry or “INDUSTRY 4.0” refers to the technological evolution from embedded systems to cyber-physical systems. Put simply, INDUSTRY 4.0

represents the coming fourth industrial revolution on the way to an Internet of Things, Data and Services.

Decentralized intelligence helps create intelligent object networking and

independent process management, with the interaction of the real and virtual worlds representing a crucial new aspect of the manufacturing and production process.

INDUSTRY 4.0 represents a paradigm shift from “centralized” to “decentralized” production - made possible by technological advances

which constitute a reversal of conventional production process logic.

Functionalities and Benefits

� A Virtual Industrial Park Model provides a realistic impression of existing and planned structures

� Interactive functions: information retrieval, investment simulation and planning scenario

in real time

� Link modules to external / real estate data bases give full access to hard facts and park information

� Logistics simulation tool-set ensures the generation of

optimized scenarios tailored to the individual needs

� Dynamic energy management concepts - virtual

power plants: visualization of energy demand and

supply relationships, energy flows, energysupply systems, cluster solutions

engineering. To this end, three key priorities are being

pursued:

� Technology transfer: institutionalization/establishment of a

national center of excellence in digital engineering in

Thailand,

� Sustainable transfer of expertise by collaborating on

qualification and education and

� Initiation and completion of bilateral research and

development projects with the involvement of industry

partners.
