Abstract :
Due to smart production, Industry 4.0 has become an essential paradigm in industry. This paradigm is looking for smartening and digital transformation in industries that its goal is not only technology upgrade but also integration of advanced technology such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Cloud computing, Digital twins and simulation software, Big Data Processing, Blockchain, etc. in production processes for increasing efficiency, flexibility and productivity in various sections of production. Various researches show that smartening and digital transformation are essential requirements for creating a competitive advantage in global markets and leadership in the coming decades. Neglecting this change of approach can lead to losing customers and sales markets. Unfortunately, despite its advantages, implementing the smart industry faces significant challenges that can hinder its achievement of goals. So, whether at the national or corporate level, benefiting from a cohesive program for smartening and digital transformation in any industry is essential. In this paper, based on research in more than 20 leading countries in the field of smart industry, a strategic plan for smartening and digital transformation in industries has been presented. By using this strategic plan, it is possible to overcome the challenges and reach the smart industry in various fields.
