Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita on Saturday said that the Indonesia Industry 4.0 Digital Center (PIDI 4.0) was built to support the acceleration of industrial transformation 4.0, or the digital transformation of industries.

"To support national priority programs and accelerate industrial transformation 4.0, the Industry Ministry has built the Indonesia Industry 4.0 Digital Center (PIDI 4.0)," he highlighted here.

To prepare Indonesia to face the Industry 4.0 era, the government has launched the "Making Indonesia 4.0" road map, which focuses on seven manufacturing sectors.

The seven sectors comprise food and beverage, textile and clothing, automotive, chemicals, electronics, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals.

The seven sectors contribute 70 percent to the industrial GDP, 65 percent to industrial exports, and absorb 60 percent of the industrial workforce in Indonesia.

PIDI 4.0 offers many strategic programs, such as human resource (HR) training, which has been attended by thousands of participants.

PIDI 4.0 also showcases Industry 4.0 products, such as disruptive technologies like AI (artificial intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things), for the 4.0 ecosystem development in Indonesia.

PIDI 4.0 joined the 2023 Indonesian Digital Economy and Finance Festival (Fekdi) on May 7–10, which was themed “Synergy and Innovation of Digital Economy: Fostering Growth.”

The festival aimed to encourage innovation in digital economy and finance, strengthen national economic resilience and revival, communicate digitalization initiatives and policies, and increase synergy between the government, stakeholders, and society.

Head of the ministry's Industrial HR Development Agency (BPSDMI) Masrokhan said that PIDI 4.0 set up an informational booth at the festival in collaboration with partners such as PT Tata Sarana Makmur, which showcased the Terminal Management System (TSM), and NEC, which presented its Bank ID Solution.

In addition to TSM and NEC, PIDI 4.0 has 35 partners consisting of industries, institutions, and universities.

Together with the partners, PIDI 4.0 has organized several programs, including training for 1,436 industrial human resources in 2022.
