Smart Factory is different from existing factory automation in that it aims to produce personalized products with minimum time and cost through ICT. However, previous researches, not from consumers but from product suppliers, have focused on technology trends and technology application methods. In order for Smart Factory to be successful, it must go beyond supplier-focus to meet the needs of consumers. In this study, we surveyed the purchase intention of the personalized product manufactured by smart factory. Influencing factors of purchase intention were drawn as consumers' need for uniqueness, innovativeness, need for touch, and privacy concern, based on previous research. As results of data analysis, it was confirmed that respondents were willing to purchase personalized products, and that consumers' need for uniqueness, innovativeness, and need for touch had a significant impact on purchase intention of personalized products. Our findings can be summarized as follows. First, Consumers' need for uniqueness was found to have positive effects(${\beta}=0.168$) on purchase intention of personalized products. The desire to differentiate themselves from others will be reflected in their personalized products. Therefore, consumers with a higher desire for uniqueness tend to be more willing to purchase personalized products. Second, consumer innovativeness was found to have positive effects(${\beta}=0.233$) on purchase intention of personalized products. Personalized shoes suggested in this study is a new type of personalized product that is manufactured by the latest information and communication technologies such as multi-function robots and 3D printing. Therefore, consumers seeking innovative new experiences are more willing to purchase personalized products. Third, need for touch was found to have positive effects(${\beta}=0.299$) on purchase intention of personalized products. In a smart factory environment, prosuming participation is given to consumers. If consumers participate in the product development process and reflect their requirements on the product, they are expected to increase their purchase intention by virtually satisfying the need for touch. Fourth, privacy concern was found to have no significantly related to purchase intention of personalized products. This is interpreted as a willingness to tolerate the risk of exposing personal information such as home address, telephone number, body size, and preference for consumers who feel highly useful in personalized products.

While Korea became one of manufacturing powers in the world through a fast-follower strategy as well as implementing the approach of advancing manufacturing business focused on quantitative input, The advent of the fourth industrial revolution and demand becoming more complicated than ever both require a system that quickly detects the change of markets in advance and reflects it in the manufacturing strategy. Accordingly, the introduction of a smart factory is not optional but mandatory in order to strengthen the competitiveness of manufacturing business using ICT. This paper aims to investigate key factors having influence on the intention to continuously use a smart factory, the innovative IT device, on the basis of the technology acceptance model. This paper analyzed the influence of the leadership of CEO, organizational learning and perceived switching costs on the intention to continuously use a smart factory by the parameters of perceived ease of use and usefulness, the major belief valuables of the IT acceptance model.

With the active smartphones user exceeding 500 million by the end of 2014, China has now become the largest smartphone market in the world. Smartphone companies provide variety of information through a range of applications, such as communications, entertainment, games, and so on. There were many studies conducted about the user acceptance and continuous intention of mobile service. However, it is still not quite clear what factors attract people to reuse smartphone in China. This paper examines the continuous intention of smartphone about Chinese customers. This study incorporates perceived enjoyment as a additional construct into a extended TAM model, by integrating a hedonic service of smartphone. We propose a research model that reflects the individual characteristics and usage contexts of smartphone, such as innovativeness, social influence, and service quality, and analyze the structural relationship between the main variables through empirical study. This study empirically investigated a research model and conducted a survey of smartphone service users in China. Our study proved that perceived enjoyment has a positive influence on continuous intention to use smartphone services. This paper provides the managers an insight that smartphone companies should take more consideration on how to provide more enjoyable service and attract customers to reuse their services.

본 논문에서는 4차 산업의 제조 혁신을 위한 새로운 방안의 스마트 팩토리를 실헌하기 위한 주요 부품 중에 하나인 리니어 모션 가이드(LM 가이드)에 필요한 센싱 시스템을 제안하였다. 공장 자동화와 정밀 측의 핵심 부품인 LM 가이드를 고정밀, 고정도로 제어할 수 있는 변위 센싱 시스템의 개발이다. 기존의 광학식이나 자기식 변위 센서 기술의 한계를 극복할 수 있도록 와전류(Eddy Current) 기법을 이용하여 LC 공진기와 전도체를 LM 가이드에 장착할 수 있도록 제안하였다. 또한 와전류 센싱부에서 출력되는 미세 인덕턴스 값을 측정할 수 있도록 디지털 신호처리 기술과 컴퓨터/산술 기술을 FPGA를 이용한 HW 시스템을 제작하여 다양한 실험을 진행했다. 본 논문에서 구현한 HW 센싱 시스템을 이용함으로 LM 가이드를 실시간으로 직선 이동시킴으로 실시간으로 변위 값을 디스플레이 부로 출력되어 측정이 가능하다. 개발된 시스템은 LM 가이드의 직선 운동시 변위 값의 분해능과 응답속도 면에서 우수함이 확인됨으로 스마트 팩토리 뿐만 아니라 다양한 장비에도 적용이 가능하다.

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, manufacturing is the implementation of smart factories through digital transformation, and refers to consumer-centered intelligent factories that combine next-generation digital new technologies and manufacturing technologies beyond the existing factory automation level. In order to successfully settle such a smart factory, it is necessary to train professionals. However, education for smart factories is difficult to have actual field mechanical facilities or overall production processes. Therefore, there is a need for a system that can visualize and control the flow and process of logistics at the actual production site. In this paper, the logistics flow of the actual site was implemented as a small FMS, a physical system, and the production process was implemented as a digital system. In real-time synchronization of the physical system and the digital system, the location of AGV and materials, and the process state can be monitored to see the flow of logistics and process processes at the actual manufacturing site. The developed digital twin system can be used as an effective educational system for training manpower in smart factories.

In the 4th industrial revolution, Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, Internet of Things (IoT) are already around us, making our society hyper-connected and blurring the lines between the digital and biological spheres. We witness drastic changes not only in the food industry, but also in economy, society and our life as a whole. Technologies bring industrial reorganization and greater changes at the system level and the food industry is not exceptional. Human demand for foods continues to grow and the very nature of the food industry remains unchanged, but its production, distribution and marketing face unprecedent innovations. Passing through the global pandemic, the food industry has been evolved into 'contact-free', as the safety become our top priority. Amid the gradual shift to technology-oriented society, the smarter food safety management skills and tools are being adopted in many countries exerting greater efforts to enhance traceability and to upgrade AI-powered safety management system.

ICT converged smart factory started from German Industry 4.0 has been the driving force for the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution and the center of manufacturing innovation for major industrial countries. It will be developed according to industry characteristics of each country. Korea is relatively later than other competing countries in the smart factory area. So, the government is establishing related policy and tendering all sorts of supports for smart factory mainly to the small and medium-sized enterprises to spread over the manufacturing industry. It is necessary for government to categorize among similar manufacturing industry and make them share digitalized production information mutually. It will be more effective method for securing global competitiveness than the uniform support. Also, large companies need to establish cloud based production forecasting system over similar industry and share it with other companies rather than expansion of individual smart factory. Mutual development in the manufacturing industry will be realized when the small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies take part in the cooperating ground of smart factory.
