Before we learn and implement newer technologies, we need to think through why we want to implement those technologies.

About the Brilliant Factory Concept:
Cloud, Automation, Digital System are not the essence of Industry 4.0 of the Brilliant Factory. Simply purchasing advanced technology, without good understanding how the technology will impact employees’ behavior and mentality, will just result in the wasting of money and resources. How to use Advance Technology to improve employees’ behavior and mentality, as the result, to improve the company culture is the key to a successful Brilliant Factory.
