The application of industry 4.0 has been doing in many countries in the world today even some developed countries have headed to industry 5.0, nevertheless in Indonesia there are still many companies that have not implemented industry 4.0. This research aims to find out the extent of the implementation of industry 4.0 in Indonesia, especially the industry located on the island of Java.The industry 4.0 aspects as a benchmark of differentiator from previous industrial developments is worth scrutinized to know its application levels in the service and manufacturing industries. Although many industries still combine their operating system between the 4.0 industry and conventional operating systems. The populations are the services and manufacturing companies. The data was obtained by using a questionnaire distributed online to respondents with a purposive sampling method. The data was grouped according to The level of implementation and is centered. The calculation and percentage results demonstrate that the level of implementation of the 4.0 industry with a technology base in service companies and manufacturing companies are at a managed level. It illustrates that the companies being researched have not been fully on the demands of the 4.0 industry.

AbstractThe availability of new research for IoT support and the human-centric perspective of industry 4.0 opens a gap to support operators in unleashing their creativity so they can provide improvements opportunities with IoT technology. This paper presents a case-study carried out in four Swedish manufacturing companies, where four different workshops were facilitated to support operators in the conceptualization of manufacturing improvements with IoT technologies. The empirical material gathered during these workshops has been analyzed in five different reflective sessions and discussed in light of previous research from industry 4.0, operators, and IoT support. Results indicate that operators can collaboratively create conceptual IoT solutions and that expressiveness in communicating their ideas and needs using IoT technology is more relevant than technical aspects and details of their proposed IoT solutions. This technological expressiveness is identified as a necessary skill to be cultivated on the shop floor and can potentially contribute to making a more effective and socially sustainable industrial landscape in the future.

Ethiopia, India and Bangladesh are raising economic power, but have not yet integrated very much with the global economy and still have not achieved their potential in context of technology, globalization, and international competitiveness like developed countries. These countries have much strength, but at the same time , are facing many challenges in the increasingly competitive and fast changing global economy. The main key strengths of these courtiers are their large domestic market, young and growing population, a strong private sector with experience in market institutions, and a well developed legal and financial system. In today’s environment of global competition, technological development and innovation; companies, especially manufacturing, are forced to reconfigure their manufacturing and management processes. Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing are part of a transformation, in which manufacturing and information technologies have been integrated to create innovative systems of manufacturing, management and ways of doing business. This system allows optimizing manufacturing, to achieve greater flexibility, efficient production processes and generate a value added proposal for their customers, as well as to provide a timely response to their market needs. The objective of this work is to explore the Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, environment requirement and relation of innovation in perspective of developing countries.

Urban Water Systems

This study, which is based on reports and articles from various parts of the world, discusses the future development of urban water systems in developing countries. The starting point is the growing need for water and water infrastructure in these countries. Based on an analysis of shifting trends in the water sector in developed countries it is argued that the new infrastructure being constructed runs the risk of soon becoming inefficient and outdated. The first trend is the improvements in domestic water use efficiency; the second is the new sustainability agenda, which places new demands on the water systems. Cities in the developing world have the opportunity to promote domestic efficiency at early stages by laying a strong emphasis on demand management, and to construct more sustainable systems by including sustainability criteria early in the development process.

Since the 1950s, firms in mature manufacturing industries in the developed countries have come under severe pressure from competition based in up-and-coming newly industrialized countries. Particularly in heavy industries, the outlook for the established manufacturers became grim in the 1970s and 1980s. Despite a partial resurgence in some western heavy industries in the 1990s, a new generation of powerful competition emerged in the 2000s and this has placed the future of heavy industrial competitiveness in western and developed Asian countries in question. What is the situation in shipbuilding? Can competitiveness be maintained or resurrected in developed countries? In this article, this question is discussed through two perspectives: that of the industry life cycle and the level of attractiveness of the industry.

Technology addictions (TA) have become a global scourge in recent times, yet in information systems (IS) literature, while a lot of research is being done from developed countries and health-related disciplines, little attention is being paid to this menace by IS scholars from developing countries. To address this issue, this chapter provides a viewpoint on the future research that seeks to investigate from a multidisciplinary and stakeholder perspective what the nature of TA from developing country context is. It will also determine how the socio-technical interaction between human motivations and technology features result in TA, which is novel in IS literature.

Manpower Needs

The Engineering Profession in the developed countries has greatly increased in numerical strength in recent years but the future pattern is not clear and forecasts of manpower needs in industry are unreliable. Nevertheless, statistics indicate that the United States has, relative to the industrial population as a whole, a clear advantage in technological manpower in the Western World though Russia may, perhaps, be even stronger. The difficulty of evaluating the evidence is stressed. In the world as a whole international co-operation tends to reduce the inequalities of distribution but an enormous task lies before the developing countries which need to produce and retain many more engineers.
