Abstract

The digital transformation of the 4th industrial revolution is leading to changes and innovations in the global economy. Various countries are focusing on reviving their manufacturing industries and economic recovery through smart factories. The purpose of this study is to empirically identify technological determinants for the successful implementation of the smart factory and to verify teose effects on manufacturing operations and the firms' operational/environmental performances. Five factors, including sensor network, platform technology, information system, intelligent automation, and safety, were defined as core technologies. The SEM analysis results of 157 small and medium-sized manufacturing firms that have implemented smart factories are as follows. First, sensor network, platform technology, and information system had significant effects on smart manufacturing operations. Second, smart manufacturing operations have improved firm performance. This study is valuable in that it has confirmed the effectiveness of government-funded projects and systemized key technologies for implementing smart factories. Meanwhile, it is helpful for practitioners to support an efficient and effective decision-making for the new adoption.

4차 산업혁명의 디지털 전환은 세계 경제의 변화와 혁신을 이끌고 있으며, 수많은 국가들은 스마트공장을 통한 제조업 부흥 및 경제 회복에 집중하고 있다. 본 연구는 성공적인 스마트공장 도입을 위한 기술결정요인을 규명하고 제조운영 및 성과에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 연구에서 정의한 5가지 요인은 ① 센서 네트워크, ② 플랫폼 기술, ③ 정보시스템, ④ 지능형 자동화, ⑤ 안전이며, 스마트공장을 구축한 157개 중소 제조기업을 대상으로 한 구조방정식 기반의 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 5대 기술요인 중 센서 네트워크, 플랫폼 기술, 정보시스템이 스마트 제조운영에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 스마트 제조운영은 기업의 운영적, 환경적 성과를 향상시키는 결과를 나타냈다. 본 연구는 스마트공장을 도입하기 위한 핵심기술을 체계화한 것과 더불어 정부 지원사업의 실효성을 확인하였다는 점에서 가치가 있다. 한편, 신규 도입을 고려하는 실무자에게 효율적, 효과적 의사결정을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
