The 4.0 industrial revolution is developed based on three main pillars: physics, biotechnology and digital technology. Combining all fields to improve the quality of life for people. The emergence of the 4th industrial revolution has helped erase all boundaries between things. This revolution is transforming every industry in every country. The breadth and depth of these changes transform entire production, management and governance systems around the world.

Industrial Revolution 4.0 focuses on digital technology, from the resounding revolutions in history, the 4th revolution was upgraded to a completely new level with the powerful support of the Internet. Smart technology devices, useful for social life. Technology 4.0 helps businesses be more flexible in the production process with a supply chain based on a smart model, thereby producing quality products at low prices, saving time and money. Production expense.
In particular, the 4.0 revolution has empowered business owners to better control and understand every aspect of their operations, allowing instant data to be leveraged to increase productivity, improve processes and accelerate growth. . Thereby improving the quality of life and raising income levels for workers, the country and, more broadly, all humanity.

2. Applying 4.0 technology in the current 4.0 era

2.1Applying 4.0 technology in education

Under the strong impact of the 4.0 industrial revolution, the education system has made strong changes. With the 4.0 revolution breaking out globally, people connect with each other through the internet, for that reason, the process of exchanging knowledge, accessing knowledge, and popularizing new knowledge between teachers and learners must be innovated to keep up with current 4.0 technology trends. The advent of smart devices, smart phones, computers… helps people quickly access knowledge, shortening the gap in accessing new knowledge with learners.

Education in the 4.0 digital era is the process of transforming education from equipping knowledge to comprehensively developing learners’ abilities and qualities. The rise and popularity of IOT (Internet of Things) has helped learners proactively access knowledge sources in all fields with just a smartphone connected to Wifi. The teacher’s role has changed from one who teaches in the traditional way (reading and copying) to one who guides and guides to maximize students’ creative and proactive thinking.

The 4th industrial revolution has created many opportunities and challenges for the education sector. With the application of the achievements of the 4.0 revolution, learners anywhere can access the school library for self-study and self-research. Thus, the traditional library model cannot only exist, but schools must build electronic libraries. Or we will have new teaching models such as online training without a classroom, learners will be guided to learn online. Virtual classrooms, virtual teachers, simulated virtual devices, digitized lectures and shared via social networking sites such as Facebook, meeting, zoom… will become a new development trend in the process of conference. Enter numbers to get closer to the goal of developing and building global citizens – digital citizens.

2.2 Applying 4.0 technology in healthcare

The race for the 4.0 industrial revolution is increasingly strong, intense and has no end in sight, and the health sector certainly cannot stand out of that race. Because 4.0 technology in healthcare is especially important and necessary, it not only supports medical staff in treating and diagnosing disease conditions but also helps people prevent and protect their health to the maximum. when participating in community activities.

The clearest evidence is that during the recent Covid -19 epidemic, 4.0 technology has provided effective support in medical declaration. Tracing the source of infection helps Vietnam’s epidemic prevention work succeed. Or online medical examination software at home has been deployed. Helps people not have to go to the hospital but still be diagnosed by a team of specialists 24/7.

In addition, 4.0 technology in healthcare through artificial intelligence AI helps analyze data quickly and accurately, making it easier for medical staff to collect and process data, and provide support. diagnose, research, evaluate results, provide methods or treatment regimens for each specific case… Some large hospitals in the world also apply 4.0 technology to healthcare through Robots to support Highly accurate surgical procedures on behalf of humans.

2.3 Applying 4.0 technology in agriculture

Different from the concept of high-tech agriculture, agriculture 4.0 is a change in management methods in which farmers do not need to appear directly in the production area but still increase productivity significantly compared to traditional methods. old-style agriculture.

Technology 4.0 applied in agriculture brings positive signs. A typical example is the application of cloud computing to provide high quality output products and food safety and hygiene for consumers. Technology 4.0 using the Internet of Things (IOT) will be the door to help explore agriculture in the future. Some or possibly most stages in the agricultural production process will be automated, replacing human labor.

Reality shows that Vietnam is an agricultural country, but the process of harvesting, transporting and exporting agricultural products is quite “amateur”, often damaging about 40% of agricultural products, causing great damage to the economy. economy. Not only that, Vietnam’s processed goods and seafood products when exported to foreign countries are often returned due to long shipping times, the goods are impacted and cannot withstand environmental changes, leading to damaged and unusable, causing great damage to domestic businesses.
