| dc.description.abstract | Industry 4.0 is undoubtedly one of the hottest topics in advanced countries, especially in industrial areas. Keywords such as big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, etc., are inseparable from Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 was proposed by Germany to create intelligent manufacturing in the next era, allowing machines and factories to have near-human wisdom, to be able to think, judge and make decisions autonomously, so that productivity can be greatly improved. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is one of the fastest-rising economies in recent times and has inherited another world factory after china, specializing in foundry production in a labor-intensive manner. In the case of Industry 4.0 in the ASEAN, although it has the value of research, there are not many people to discuss, and there are only a handful of papers in the ASEAN countries that can be involved with Industry 4.0. This paper mainly uses the text mining method to study the development trend of Industry 4.0 in ASEAN countries. There are two methods used in text mining, namely, concept linking analysis and topic analysis (text categorization). The data source is through the Lexisnexis Academic database to collect English news from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam in 2016-2018.
The study found that news related to Industry 4.0 in ASEAN countries has been increasing year by year. According to the comparison of the related terms of the different years of the ASEAN countries regarding industry 4.0, although the ideas of Industry 4.0 were somewhat similar at the beginning, they have a very different idea over time. From the analysis of the themes, we find that countries have different themes for Industry 4.0 every year, and the differences between themes are also very large. From the concept link diagram, we can discover the development of Industry 4.0 in different countries from different related words. For Indonesia, its attitude is to be passive to adapt to the era of Industry 4.0. For Singapore, the idea of Industry 4.0 among the six countries is the most mature. For Thailand, after researching Industry 4.0, focus on the design and production side of the value chain. For Malaysia, among the six countries, the most high-ranking officials have expressed their views on Industry 4.0 in the news. For Vietnam, it is the most attractive among investors in the six countries. For the Philippines, the government also has an active training of Industry 4.0 talent. | en_US |
