Yesterday, the Boston consulting company released the latest report "industrial 4.0: future productivity and manufacturing development prospects", pointing out that with the promotion and adoption of industrial 4 technology in China in the future, the production efficiency of Chinese enterprises will be increased to 25%, which can create an additional value of 6 trillion yuan, and affect the work of millions of employees.

In BCG's view, although it will take 20 years to fully implement industrial 4 technology, the great progress of technology in the next 5-10 years will make the gap between losers and winners continue to widen.

The report points out that in China, the profit brought by industrial 4 is mainly reflected in the improvement of production efficiency.

In the next 5-10 years, more and more local companies will follow the requirements of the industrial 4 era, which will improve the overall production efficiency of the domestic manufacturing industry.

Conversion cost (excluding material cost) increased by 15%-25%.

If the material cost is taken into account, the 5%-8% can be increased.

According to the calculation, the total sales cost of manufacturing industry is about 85 trillion yuan, which means that China's overall industrial production efficiency has a potential of 4 trillion -6 trillion yuan.

The degree of improvement in various industries will be uneven, for example, industrial component manufacturers may achieve the highest productivity increase (20%-35%), while the estimated increase in automobile companies is 10%-20%.

The report also pointed out that the rising middle class has a strong desire to upgrade consumption, which will further promote the development of the industry.

The whole society's demand for large-scale customized production will increase day by day, which in turn will promote the use of industrial 4 technology to cope with the complexity of production.

In addition, the report also believes that the 4 era of industry will vigorously change the way industrial workers complete their work, and will create new jobs and eliminate some outdated jobs.

This means that the regular jobs with heavy labor will continue to decrease, and more jobs need to be flexible, problem solving and customized solutions.

Under the background of industrial 4, enterprises must invest a lot of time and experience to acquire the capabilities required by industry 4 technology.

Chinese enterprises and governments must work closely together to invest continuously in education and training of experts and staff, and bring valuable opportunities to our industry 4. "
