Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the challenges and countermeasures of digital transformation of manufacturing industry. The three objectives of this study were: 1) to analyze the current situation of digitalization in the manufacturing industry; 2) to procedure and utilize data from the manufacturing industry to unleash its value properly; and 3) to solve the problem of high costs and insufficient capacity of key tasks such as architecture design and data operation in the digital transformation of traditional industries.

This paper uses the documentary methodology to analyze the problems and found out the solutions to solve the research objectives by decision-making model, to propound the construction of a new innovative service platform, raise the scale of digital platform technology innovation. The study found that digital transformation is the only way for manufacturing factories, enterprises without digital transformation will inevitably be submerged in the tide of the times; utilize digital infrastructure models to process and utilize historical data from the manufacturing industry to appropriately unleash its value; and use decision-making model of manufacturing development to solve the problem of high cost and insufficient capacity of key tasks such as architecture design and data operation in the digital transformation of traditional industries.

Keywords: digital transformation, manufacturing industry, challenges, technological innovation.
