Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution, more popular known as Industry 4.0, has been developed for nearly 10 years since it was proposed, and has gradually evolved into a new revolution in manufacturing on a global scale. It is an era of opportunities for comprehensive digitalization. Through continuous exploration and development, the core technology of Industry 4.0 is constantly being explored and improved. China has written a manufacturing legend in the past 30 years, but its productivity still behind developed countries. If China wants to grow from the world's largest manufacturing country to a manufacturing powerhouse, it must grasp the general trend of Industry 4.0. Therefore, this paper explores the characteristics, core technologies and current global development trends of industry 4.0. And by analyzing the development data of Chinese manufacturing in the past ten years combined with Chinese government policies, the development status of Chinese Industry 4.0 and the problems encountered, some solutions and suggestions are put forward. Help enterprises understand the general environment and the technical characteristics of Industry 4.0, to formulate digital transformation and upgrading strategies based on their own characteristics and development needs.
