UNB, Dhaka :
Countries in the Asia-Pacific region need to gear up and prepare themselves for ‘transition to the Industry 4.0 era’ that will have a major impact on their economies and productivity.
“With dramatic advances in technology shaping the economy of the future, we need to rethink how we can also shape the national productivity agendas of member countries,” said Asian Productivity Organization (APO) Secretary-General Santhi Kanoktanaporn on Tuesday.
Industry 4.0 is a name for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies.
The APO chief made the remark at the opening plenary session of the 58th Workshop Meeting (WSM) of Heads of National Productivity Organizations (NPOs) in Seoul, South Korea.
