智能制造是“工业4.0”的核心。通过嵌入式的处理器、存储器、传感器和通信模块，把设备、产品、原材料、软件联系在一起，使得产品和不同的生产设备能够互联互通并交换命令。

Intelligent manufacturing is the core of "Industry 4.0". Through embed- ded processors, memory, sensors and communication modules, equipment, products, raw materials and software are linked together, so that products and different production equipment can interconnect and exchange commands.

“工业4.0”的本质是以万物互联为基础，通过互联网和物联网等相关的技 术来改变既往的大规模生产模式，增强柔性化生产，同时将传统工厂关 注制造环节向前端的设计环节以及后端的服务环节延伸。

The essence of "Industry 4.0" is based on the Internet of everything, through the Internet and the Internet of Things and other related technologies to change the previous mode of mass production, enhance flexible production, and at the same time extend the focus of traditional factories on the design link at the front end of the manufac- turing link and the service link at the back end.
