Summary:The purpose of this research is to consider the compatibility between existing manufacturing technology and the key concepts of Industry 4.0, as well as to consider concerns, such as how this concept would secure confidential data and other information using standardized digital communication protocols, and how competitive advantage could be achieved and maintained in a borderless environment. The purpose of this research is to consider the compatibility between existing German manufacturing technology and the key concepts of Industry 4.0, as well as to consider other concerns, such as how this concept would secure confidential data and other information using standardized digital communication protocols, and how competitive advantage could be achieved and maintained in a borderless environment. According to two big German automobile manufacturers, one of them is trying to set up a trial line using robot manufacturing, but it's not yet in a state where manufacturing can be done. [...]there is not even consensus in Germany about the concept of Industry 4.0. The ideal concept of a smart factory is one that has in-house horizontal integration and in-house vertical integration of the communication networks, but there are too many providers (programming languages) as well as digital communication protocols to make standardized network systems as shown as Figure 3. Since the sensors and driving mechanisms of production machineries have different communication methods, and it is difficult to connect and use many different manufactures' FA equipment.
